Reminds me of this enlightening video mapping out a possible future where self-driving cars have dominance.

It's very possible that it won't be the utopia it is portrayed to be.

Utopia? I never experienced it myself, but the footage of the American roads in the video looks as dystopian as it can possibly get already... Somehow, the elevated freeways and what's below them remind me of the worst cyberpunk sprawl nightmares. I guess being free from the constraints of dealing with any buildings or areas older than 200 years doesn't necessarily lead to better designs...

Knew I wouldn't have to scroll far to find the link to this video.

I'm genuinely worried for the future if we keep going down this path. And all the hard work by urbanists will be undone.

NJB radicalised me, in the best way possible.

Sincerely hope that more people in this forum watches it. Since we are at the epicenter of it.
