We need transit systems that allow citizens

But self-driving cars will not only take away minerals and metals, but also our personal data. Companies will not only make us pay for a ride, they will also track our movements, any places we go, and link this information with other data they already have. In cooperation with the state, they will be able to create a full-fledged control system.

People, not cars
Think carefully about the state of our cities and the breakdown taiwan number data of our transportation networks, and ask yourself how technology can solve the problems that have been caused by underfunding and the privileging of cars. It is not technology that will save us, but structural change.

We are facing climate, urban, health and many other crises. A superficial solution like launching drones — if they ever appear — will not solve them. In any case, we cannot wait another few decades. Action is needed immediately.

This means we need to stop designing our cities and transportation systems around the interests of real estate, finance, and car companies. Instead, we need to put people first. Many Americans say they love their cars, but spending hours in traffic and breathing toxic air in a crowded city is not something that many people enjoy.



We need cities where people can get around more easily by foot or bike. to get to where they need to go with ease, with convenient bus routes. We need streets that are not deadly, but open to all, filled with useful and beautiful views or spaces.

This requires a societal rethink of how and for whom cities work, and a massive redirection of funding from highways to subways, from cars to buses, from parking to bike lanes, from dispersal to densification. It is difficult to imagine an alternative to today’s car-dominated system, but it is the only way to deal with the current crises.
