This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I do like these designs better. Wheel chair access on roads (i.e. cars that support it) have been lacking. I also like that they don't look like a mil spec APC taking up every square inch of the road
Still better walk ability, better bike routes, better trams, better metros, better buses. All make more sense for Intercity travel.
But also also fuck these for being massive road based spy drones
People will get killed in these things. I don't trust a computer to drive me safely home. Give me a train or a bus instead driven by a real person.
I bet that if they use the correct technologies (LIDAR and laser guidance systems), they would be a lot safer than regular drivers. Of course, computers make mistakes, but humans also don't have the best track record in terms of driving safety. You're technically not wrong though.
If they drive at low speed (IIRC you can build a car that will like never kill you under 60km/h) they might be way safer than cars driven by humans.
