Or it is original but made for cheap in China while being sold at 10x the price.

Lol

That's not true at all, China makes both high quality and incredibly cheep at the same time. Look at brands like Anker, Ecoflow, Hisense, Xiaomi, Dji, Lenovo, Chery, BYD, etc

Yeah, that's true

True, but they aren't dangerous enough for it to be an issue during daily use.

And people will still defend this company

It's just going to make the average person lazier than they already are.

In my childhood it was safer and more affordable to live.

They're only dangerous if they're poorly maintained... like any aircraft.

The start up sound must've been legendary

Why have realistic graphics if you're going to ignore minor details like these ¯(ツ)_/¯

An absolute shipshow

Damn, your boy has standards. I love how he told you his reasoning lol

Look how well that American dream is going

The "US is too big" is such a bullshit excuse since cars are absolutely crap for long distances compared to trains people already walk and cycle in the US. And why is the richest and most powerful (for now at least) country in the world unable to fix it's zoning laws? Especially since other countries seem to be able to do it.

Yes, efficiency in reducing the amount of people with jobs but not by getting people from a to b. What is convenient is not having to own a car in the first place and be able to get around with ease because of proper urban planning.

The future is automated travel because vehicles can be used more productively on the margin than everybody having to own their own car. Fewer cars, higher use of the car, or less idling, means lower transportation costs throughout, which includes infrastructure itself; the less need for insurance, less pollution, etc. This technology can be used in bus transit systems as well for a less marginal benefit.

Sooo like a what's already possible with trains and trams? And buses on dedicated lanes would be far easier to automate and be more efficient than cars.

Bicycles? ride/ walk to were you need to be? Why do you need to be driven to an exact point? All the space needed for parking is just wasted.

You need to create a specific scenario in order to make cars seem more efficient than alternatives. They cause more accidents, take up more space while carrying fewer people at any given time while also causing more pollution than other modes of transport.

And yet it's still the least efficient mode of transport.

It was the main reason why I never ended up watching that film.

Thanks, that wasn't the place at all for that <3
