The people who knock self driving systems often forget how dumb a lot of drivers are.

    I also knock off car-first cities. A tram will not go full looney toons. And I expect that the professional drivers that are actually needed in a city will also not do it that often.

    I've seen tram drivers do incredibly stupid things. But yeah, they generally stick to the rails.

    you know those conveyor belts they have at airports and shit? we should just design a city with a shitton of those instead of roads.

    You should read "The Roads Must Roll" short story by Robert Heinein. He takes this idea to a whole nother level.

    Asimov also had that in his books. The idea was kinda popular in sci-fi back in the 50s-60s.

    Asimov also noted that if someone fell on another person on that ‘road’ and it caused a domino effect, that would suck big time.
