ultracycling!
@notjustbikes It's true I have not much experience with US cities, and that I have a hard time imagining why you would want such a lifestyle, even when you can afford it, financially and/or ecologically.
That being said, I still don't understand how AV's will change the equation. Accelerate the already present tendency? Also in European cities (where I live)? Why have European cities not become like American ones then?
I think of AV's more as reinventing trains in the dumbest possible way.
@ristkof @notjustbikes In Europe we have a lot less space, so while the post-war US invested into building massive urban sprawls, our governments invested into tower block districts that look less appealing on photos, but are way simpler to connect via public transport.
Also our petrol was always way more expensive than in the US, making the car less appealing.
