Or you could watch a 3 minute video game trailer that speed runs through most of that and hits way over its weight class:

Yes. Take a moment, an issue or two, to enjoy the new normal before the next Big Event world changing crisis.

The advantage in just splitting up a company is they know each other's tricks and can compete to regain their status and with competition ... the consumer benefits and employees benefit as companies compete for staff.

No, it's just one has to be vigilant. If you have an IRS law that cash transfers of $10,000 and up have to be reported then if there are a bunch of $9900 transfers then maybe amend the rule to $10,000 and up WITHIN A PERIOD OF TIME triggers the report.
Or sometimes just split up a company.
Crack downs on mergers have lead to the "acqu-hire" where companies hire the employees they think have the skills they want and leave the rest of company and staff alone. Employees who had stock in the company don't get the benefit of the big payday. But they get their freedom. Yay ...?!

Maybe but WHY do people want to travel alone? Usually its bad experiences around other people, loud, aggressive, poor hygiene, listening to phones without earphones, manspreading to two seats or putting their purse on an empty seat even when people are standing up. If I wanted to talk I'd talk.

I love trains. Lean back, let someone else take the wheel. A meal car for a proper heated breakfast after a good night's sleep.
The catch is trains require tracks which require land and acquiring land, which is slow & $$$. AVs can use existing roads and go right to your door--which trains can't.
My car clock is back on time!

This is why many big government contracts got passed by getting multiple states a piece of the pie so their Congress reps could campaign on bringing home the bacon.

Also, Scott was right, there are several AI & Human #BuddyCop shows including the one Scott highlighted where the human was weary and jaded:
#AlmostHuman

First, you're right, the #BuddyCop genre is the popular version of the #OddCouple where a pair of opposites team up. The original sitcom, #Moonlighting, #TenspeedAndBrownshoe, #CagneyAndLacey, #Cheers (Sam & Diane), #StarskyAndHutch, #SimonAndSimon, etc.
Buddy cop overtook the odd couple label.
My focus on #Waymo and his focus on buses and trains, then his would be, according to Freud (although Sigmund has been discredited for decades then again, #ForbiddenPlanet is still a fun watch including its #MonstersOfTheId).

This constantly happens. A new tech is invented and it is overhyped.
Photoshop will make you an instant artist.
Music synthesizers will make you an instant musician.
Cameras will make you an instant artist.
Even when the tech is legit: Good, Fast, Cheap, Pick 2.

You're the one who said "smaller" modalities (bikes) carry more people through a space.
But if your line of argument is so weak you have to resort to ad hominem (personal) attacks then there's no point in me continuing. LLAP 🖖
If anything AVs follow the traffic laws TOO closely. At least that is a common complaint by passengers and other drivers. AV convoys would be the last ones relative to human drivers to blow through stop signs--even in empty intersections where plenty of human drivers don't even brake.

"Having a robot drive fluent change the shape of a car"???
What is that supposed to mean?
Smaller modalities mean more people through a space?
Ok, but you see how applying that to bikes vs cars but not cars vs buses or cars vs trains causes a conflict?
Ideally, self balancing AV Segways could link public transit to destinations. They are tiny, like 2 people side by side.
Just the opposite.
More AVs on the road? More you can fit and the faster they can go. With sufficient AVs you can sync up to form closely packed convoys, avoid the random stop & go traffic of human drivers. You can even sync AVs to cross intersections sans traffic signs.

Yes, you are right--when designing a city.
The catch? Cities already exist. Adding transit or non car travel is expensive and takes time.
AVs can be simply added to (most) existing roads. Also, AVs increase mobility for the infirmed. Not everyone can do the extended exercise required of noncars.
Wasn't this about AVs (Autonomous Vehicles) not EVs (Electric Vehicles)?

A whopping 6 percent increase? In return for increased lives saved, increased mobility for the elderly, infirmed and children, not to mention increased safety as AVs could be sent to gas stations for fill-ups and maintainence while you're at work without delaying your schedule.
For 6% more traffic.
Or some other files.
