In a pivotal moment for the autonomous transportation industry, California chose to expand one of the biggest test cases for the technology.

    While it is exciting, I can see both sides of the argument here. The infrastructure here in the US is built around cars so it would be much less effort to automate the existing infrastructure. On the other hand, things could be so much more efficient if we focused on trains and other public transport that excels at transporting a large amount of people. But that would take so much more effort and money to update the infrastructure.

      Why not do both? They aren’t mutually exclusive. I feel strongly for reasons I’ve outlined that one has much more potential than another, but I’m not anti public transport. I think we need to invest heavily though where the most potential lies.
