Virus could spell the end of mass transit and a boon to auto salesI agree with you 100 percent. AVs are far less sanitary than taxis or busses. Passengers will be less likely to trash, leave garbage inside of, or do other things (I will not mention, but we can imagine) if there is a human driver on board. Look at COVID 19. If AVs were a prominent part of transportation today, how many times would passengers come in and out of an AV is a given day before it was properly cleaned?
I don't understand this either- especially when companies like GM (an unfortunately Ford to an extent)- are mortgaging their future on technology that most people have absolutely no interest in at the expense of today's product. It is like the line from I believe PT Barnum- "the bigger the lie, the more people who will believe it." I think that people at Ford and GM saw the little Google POSmobile pod of ten years ago and panicked and dove feet first into the AV morass as opposed to concentrating on their core product and striving to offer the customer the best "gotta have" vehicles that can possibly be made.Sun, 26 Apr 2020 16:19:35 +0000
