More less Tesla's autopilot is not as safe as Tesla would have you believe.

I think solutions like better public transportation, or government services so people could get free rides as some companies offer rides are better options. A computer driving a car has too many real world consequences that outweigh the convenience.

The solution is always better public transit but I'd be shocked if any of us saw it approach even passable levels in our lifetime here in the States. Timelines for small projects stretch on for a decade. Massive ones can't even get off the ground. I wish it weren't true but I've basically given up on it. Maybe I'll move to Europe some day to have access to transit options.

Even in Europe though rural areas are a thing. I've lived in Australia and the UK, travelled extensively in Europe. Many European cities have excellent public transport, but if you need to get to a small town for whatever reason you can't. In Australia it's definitely better in the major cities than it is in US major cities but that are so few people and it's such a large country that outside of those really big cities there's very little.
