Rules

Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

There have been driverless metros since the 70s. China and Europe have both been making huge strides into self-driving intercity and high speed trains, with China using driverless bullet trains for the 2022 Olympics. China has also been doing a ton of work in the full self driving tram and bus space, with select systems already being field tested in urban cores.

But sure, keep talking about how your Tesla is so sheer space(x) age that it even overcomes the economies of scale of public transit.

Also, you know how the dream of every FSD car fan is to be able to hop in the backseet by your self and just fall asleep while the car drives? Guess what? I do that on my commute every day it's great.

Also also, way easier and cheaper to retrofit FSD into existing trains and busses than the probably 100+ times higher number of existing private cars! And most trains and busses have a modular construction specifically for these kinds of upgrades while private cars are almost never upgraded during their service life!
