    Yup. The worst part is how the problems AVs claim to solve are already solved using existing technology that have other benefits like fewer emissions and physical activity.

      But a handful of people won’t get rich off nationalized rail or municipal transit. A handful of people will get rich by private solutions like self driving cars.
