Freaking American biases. There are cities in the world where infrastructure sucks, people are many, and parking is rare. I already take a taxi to and from work, this robo car thing will catch on really fast here, of only to optimize throughput in a very congested city where there is no room for new roads.


How is what your parent described unique to America?


America has lots of space, low cost of car ownership and operation. Parent was talking about parking costing only $1.50 or $2, I mean, nowhere else in the world, even developing world, is parking ever that cheap!

It is cheaper for me to take a taxi than drive because the taxi doesn't have to park, obviously, the taxi doesn't just go back to where they came from after taking me to my destination. Crazy americans, they live in such a fantasy world and they don't realize it.
