Driverless cars were the future but now the truth is out: they’re on the road to nowhere::The dream of these vehicles ruling the roads remains just that. Focusing on public transport would be much smarter, says transport writer Christian Wolmar

That's only feasible if you have a small family, once you have a couple kids and are buying $300 of groceries a week it's not at all feasible to transport that home by walking or using public transportation. Even less so if you're having to transport the kids at the same time. Just carrying in all the food from my driveway to my house takes 15+ minutes, and that's literally like 20 feet.

Bruh my family would make costco trips and absolutely pack the car with groceries, I'm talking trunk full to the ceiling. That shit takes 5 minutes tops to unload with everyone helping. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. If raising a family without a car is so difficult then why can so many people manage it fine in other countries?
