How long before driving becomes completely obsolete?
Decades ago if you've ever been to a place like Seoul.
Why would anyone want to rob themselves of agency and the freedom that comes from being able to operate your vehicle?To go anywhere you choose to go by your own volition instead of being commanded by a faceless taddle telling machine that'll snitch on you for petty offenses. It's exactly like wanting to have your parents still wipe your own ass at 40.
>>28886050Most people don't give a fuck and would much rather sit around on their ass and magically arrive at wherever they intend to go than drive there themselves.
>>28886054Puer aeternus would be like that, but nah normal people don't want to be cucks and have blind faith in a gimmick technology that's just smoke screen for a remote controller in the hands of a random Indian or Filipino
>>28886061My Tesla literally drives me from my driveway to a parking spot at my destination without any human intervention nearly 100% of the time.
>>28886061>nah normal people don't want to be cucks and have blind faith in a gimmick technologyare we talking to the same normal people? that seems like exactly the kind of shit they're all way into
>>28886066Way to go champ, proud of you little buddy. Do you let other men fuck your wife automatically for you too or do you not have one of those to automate>>28886068Normal people do not trust auto driving gimmicks. Only the suckers.
>>28886050Basically there's 3 types of driving. Transportation, recreation, and commercial. All driving done by all citizens fits into the first two categories. Ideally, you would use robotaxis for your basic transportation. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people that they needed to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on something that just sits around empty and useless for 95% of the time and then turning 20% of our real estate into places for them to sit around in. For recreational driving, there would still exist rental cars.
>>28886039never
Not until work from home becomes a legal right
>>28886075>The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people that they needed to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on something that just sits around empty and useless for 95% of the time and then turning 20% of our real estate into places for them to sit around in.Cars were one of the biggest improvements to the world. Food, medicine, information sharing, cheap transport of materials, etc. Having cars made the world as comfortable as it is today.>For recreational driving, there would still exist rental cars.No there would not. If it got to the point that 90% of cars were automated and electronically linked, no one would be allowed to drive because it would be deemed unsafe. At first it would be too expensive (Yes, that'll be 2,000 Yurobux to drive for 5 hours) then it would be banned outright. Because the cars have to digitally interact with each other, see?
>>28886108>wereKeyword. Same thing goes for horses. Part of advancing means discarding inferior things. Stone tools helped make the world as comfortable as it is today but we don't use those anymore either. >No there would not.Yes there would. The government will never ever ban driving and there's no reason to every think they would. Restrict it? Maybe. But never outright ban.
>>28886123>Part of advancing means discarding inferior things.Let me sell you this pen...>The government will never ever ban driving and there's no reason to every think they would.It's a slippery slope, that absolutely will happen if this takes off.
>>28886136>It's a slippery slope, that absolutely will happen if this takes off.This.Not on the first day, but if less and less people drive themselves they become politically irrelevant. Then some drunk faggot kills a couple of kids with his car and the hysteria starts.
>>28886039>obsolete?it will probably become illegal outside of tracks in the next 20 years
>>28886039Never.

>>28886108>Food, medicine, information sharing, cheap transport of materials, etc. Having cars made the world as comfortable as it is today.That goes into the commercial driving category
>>28886427This.All it takes is one incident from one fuck up to ruin everything for every one. Just like how America had the one mass shooting and they banned guns the next day. Oh wait
>millions of robo taxis in a litigious country yeah tech never glitches out or ages nope nuh uh my survivorship bias means everything will be okay yep, kek
>>28886075>Ideally, you would use robotaxis for your basic transportation.Yeah sure, no one likes to sit in traffic, even car guys>For recreational driving, there would still exist rental cars.No, fuck off
the random immigrant arguing with his family on speakerphone the whole trip is the best part of using Uber. I wonder if these robotaxis can provide that?
>>28886590There are lots of gun owners out there and there's the second amendment.What would probably have happened, if gun owners had been a small minority?That was actually my argument - declining car ownership will lead to deteriorating conditions for the remaining car owners.
>>28887306>there's the second amendment.Where I live it's permitless concealed carry...But knives over 2.5" are illegal.Make that make sense.
>>28887336FIX BAYONETS
>live in one of those places OP is not aware of (outside of a city)>want to go somewhere >have to wait three hours before a robotaxi can arrive from the nearest cuckshed>it's covered in graffiti and nigger vomit
>>28886123>we don’t use stone tools>but that’s steel! It was never the most plentiful rock to ever exist, reformed and tied to a fucking stick
>>28886039This is the last generation of humans to manually drive. Tbqh. Anyone thats born today will likely never know the manual driving.
>>28888992No one drives a car manual. And when EV's become normal no one will even know how to drive an automatic
>>28888784You probably didn't realize how bad this disproves your own point. Stone was a stepping stone to steel. And we don't use stone anymore.
>>28886050>Why would anyone want to rob themselves of agency and the freedom that comes from being able to operate your vehicle?Why would anyone want to use an engine connected to wheels to move when they can just use their own two legs, which provide a greater freedom of movement and direction, and the ability to jump and move over misshapen obstacles? Can't do any of that in a car, you're literally confined to the road or a pre-set path. Don't believe me? Try to drive a car, even the best off-road vehicle, on rocky terrain, or on a trail on the side of the hill in a grand canyon. Those are all areas that can be navigated by a bipedal human, but that an automobile is incapable of traversing. Thus, a human being walking on his 2 feet has greater freedom than a person confined to a car
>>28886075>Ideally, you would use robotaxis for your basic transportation.Yes, ideally retards who should never even have a driving license would be herded into cattle pods for transportation. Only retards want NPCs to drive and to create more congestion and danger on the road.>For recreational driving, there would still exist rental cars.Kill yourself
>>28889883Ideally, you would use cars for your basic transportation.For recreational movement, you can still walk/jog/run at your own convenience
>>28889862I too support personal battlemechs
>>28889886>For recreational movement, you can still walk/jog/run at your own convenience
>>28889883>>28887078Why do you hate the idea of renting a car so much? Especially because you're probably the same person who says people who buy expensive trucks and then only use the bed once or twice a year are stupid. But buying an expensive car capable of driving a thousand miles a day when you only need to do that once or twice a year is different?
>>28886039Hopefully soon. Automobiles are far far too expensive, and a ridiculous barrier to employment.I love driving, my life is so fucking stressful I would love to give up the car. One less thing to worry about.
>>28890001If you had the option of buying a monthly pass of $200 for self driving car, would you pay it? That includes 4 rides per day and 1000 miles monthly allowances. Would you pay for it? No more gas, no more insurance, much more convenient than train/bus rides, but also slightly less inconvenient than personal car. I think something like this can be offered to people and there would be a huge uptake.
>>28889888I don't care how impractical it is. I don't care about how badly the pilot is being thrown side to side with each step. I don't care about the space magic required to make one work. I will never not think a Mad Cat in motion looks cool as fuck.
>>28886108>No there would not. If it got to the point that 90% of cars were automated and electronically linked, no one would be allowed to drive because it would be deemed unsafe.We have interlinked highways where traffic flows at 80 mph and the horse is still street legal 100% automation is some reddit 110 iq fantasy
>>28886039I hope it puts all the "GIG" workers out of business.
