Yeah because people live in those hills and need to get to where the transport is. The transport then is shit because nobody uses it since nobody lives close enough to use it. Shit situation anyway.
But you see, it’s not buses or trains that do the same, it’s limousines. It’s the air of exclusivity that the self-driving car-manufacturers sell, people like to feel special and don’t want to spend time with the riffraff, even if it means they themselves become serfs to the technology companies.
you know what’s funny? i never hear this talked about in places with good public transport, it’s only ever brought up in places that can’t seem to figure out how to run more than 2 buses.
Less snarkily: This is a made up problem to justify bad public transport. There are multiple very obvious solutions, among which a very popular one is “Just fucking run a bunch of buses, genius”
The first thing we see when opening that link is literally bicycles.
If we need self driving cars to help with the last mile issue, I’m pretty sure people will tend to use them for more tha the last mile and ditch other options.
Fuck cars. They are dangerous lethal heavy machines that should not be in urbanized environments.

I still find it remarkable that we have convinced everyone that we need self driving electric cars … when a bus or train does the same
Come to Slovenia, they do the same, just only once or twice per day 🙄
The problem of our terrain being hills and shit.
Also…
It sucks even when there are no hills 😅

Considering this is “Fuck Cars” some people here are really carbrained.
Bikes and feet for last mile transit. A car is completely unnecessary for that.
I find it funny when people spend more time searching for their car and finding parking than it would have taken to use a bus
