thought this would be a good video to share on this comm
i thought we'd have self driving cars like 10 years ago and i look like such a dipshit for telling people of the apocalyptic economic effects of like just making truck driving obsolete as a profession but hahahaha here we are
I mean it isnt like we dont have the tech to do it, sorta. the problem is infrastructural, in a lot of ways, but by the time you invest in enough infrastructure to make auto-semis viable you'd look really silly for not having just built or upgraded a railway
We could absolutely make it happen but it would require heavy government involvement and massive coordination at at some point someone would say "why the fuck are we doing this instead of just building high-speed rail between the most important travel points?" and trains are communism and we can't have that
initial Musk montage of him repeatedly promising it's n months away is pretty funny
