Those Silicon Valley geniuses have done it again!
Next week- “it’s like the subway, but with AI!”
This is what happens when you believe the private sector is the answer to everything. We reinvent the wheel one hundred times, and each time its more square than before.
They didn’t reinvent anything, private small scale shuttle buses have existed since forever. If you don’t have them in your city it doesn’t mean that’s a brand new thing.
whooosh
Just waiting for them to reinvent light rail
They invented FSD in the sixties and it makes a handy little loop through downtown Detroit.
And now we’re inventing the shittiest “rail line” between Ann Arbor and Detroit on 94. All the hassle and expense of rail travel, with none of the efficiency!
They’ll market it as moving at light speed too.
****heads.
Good? We need more bus routes
We don’t need to make them Uber chartered bus routes.
We need whoever is willing to provide them
Yea I see this as a net positive. They mention concert venues. This is the perfect use case, I remember so many times struggling to get a bus after a big show because they’re packed. This could relieve that. It could increase frequency of pickups on existing routes, it’ll cut down on single passenger Ubers.
Wait they didn’t have them in the US? We’ve had uber shuttles for years in India
