  I mean, the US really isn’t a good example for road safety. Even Germany got better drivers, and we like to drive 140-200 kmh. It’s a matter of good education, standards and regulations (as always).

  In the end self-driving public transport is the way the future of mobility should primarily be imho. Self-driving cars… as long as there always is a steering wheel in case of unexpected circumstances or to move around backyards and stuff it’ll probably me fine. Just don’t throw technical solutions at cultural problems and expect them to be fixed.

    I didn’t want to believe it as well, but it seems to be factually correct, as per this wonderful Wikipedia list.

      They’re so well regulated that they can safely drive on roads with no speed limit, whereas the US for example has pretty low limits and multiple times the fatal crashes (proportionally to population)

        This. Of course it would be even better with limits on the Autobahn, and in fact a majority of people are in favour of such a change (especially if the limit is at 130-140). Our governments are in the pocket of the car industry though, politicians act as if our whole freedom is endangered talking about it (now where do we know that from? 🙃). Things can always be better, but A.I. definitely doesn’t improve an absolutely shitty mobility system like the US has (which is basically nothing but cars). If anything it will make shit even more… off the rails. 😏

  I mean TBF, they don’t trust the average person in New Jersey to handle a petrol pump—so much so that it’s legally prohibited.

  I’m not at all surprised that they shouldn’t be trusted with the vehicle itself, given that
