  • I ride Waymo on occasion. It’s generally fine. They don’t take highways and can vary in price, maybe more expensive on average. Can sometimes pick up and drop off a bit farther than a human driver would.

    My wife like that you can change the temperature and there’s no pressure to talk to anyone.

  • What government money? Aptera is privately funded. They’ve won some government grants but most of their funding is from investors. They’re not taking money away from rail projects.

    And even if we went all in on rail, what are we supposed to do in the years it takes to make the transition? Keep using ICE vehicles?

  • Because you have to approach the two problems differently. If you want to support the expansion of railways, you’ll need political willpower.

    But if you’re an individual who needs a vehicle, wouldn’t the best choice be the most efficient one available?

  • Why would a new company increase traffic? Like people just have extra disposable income and love going out to drive when everyone else does?

    If your argument is, someone who would have bought the car would instead switch to using rail. Then there is no place in the US that has heavy traffic that can also have a new railway built for under $1b.
