    🚘 🧠 people, I guess. Most people are just born/live in areas where it’s nearly impossible to get around their area that’s not by a personal vehicle.

    Getting groceries? Hop in the truck/SUV, drive 5+ miles to grocery store

    Want to eat out? Hop into the SUV/truck, drive 10+ miles to restaurant

    Visit friends? Hop into the SUV/truck, drive 10+ mi to friends house in the exurbs (and they already live in the suburbs 💀)

    Going to work? Hop into the SUV/truck, drive 20+ mi to work.

    Going to the bars? Call a rideshare, pay $50+ for one ride, get drunk. Most people probably think they can still drive while under the influence and get home safe.

    Only describing 1-way travel, by the way.

    These people trying to imagine there’s a more scalable and safer way to transport people is a foreign concept in their mind — despite the rest of the planet figuring out how to properly move people.
