Waymo may have outlasted GM's Cruise to lead the U.S. market but Elon Musk's Tesla and Amazon's Zoox are working to catch up.

    I can’t take a train almost anywhere I drive. Think they’ll open a spur to:

    • The swamp down the road
    • My camp in BFE
    • Anywhere on the local creeks and rivers

    And can I bring a truck bed full of kayaks and gear? Oh, I also haul home shitloads of trash I find. Is that allowed on trains?

    Trains are the best for moving a human body, carrying nothing, from one population center to another. And that’s it.

      I get your point, but your being a useless ass about it.

      For us that do outdoor sports we still will.need a car, but not having to use it to commute to work or go grocery shopping would be a wonderful thing

      Also the better transit is the fewer people you have to shard the road with when you do need to use your car.

      It’s not all or nothing.

        You shop on a train ride? Don’t know about you, but I bring home more than 4 humans can carry.

        We obviously need train service between metro areas, and train service within large areas. But America is wired for individual transportation. Undoing that has a monstrous energy impact to consider, better, but it ain’t free.
