I first read it as “careless drivers”, which there are plenty of already.

Thank you for pointing it out, I thought I was going crazy
I've never understood why driverless cars are the solution everyone is obsessed with. Surely better train and bus networks would solve the issue, and then add some bike lanes (golf cart compatible for those with accessibility needs) and you'd also tackle the obesity crisis. But no, I guess that's just not quite enough 'convenience' for people.
Because tech bros
especially American tech bros who can't imagine their cities existing in a state where you don't need a car to exist
And these folks will influence how AI will think...
Well I can explain why I thought driverless cars were great when I was in highschool. A perception of cars being necessary and the idea that driverless cars solve most of the issues with cars, like accidents parking and traffic (to a degree). I only changed that opinion when I became more informed of the idea of car dependency and how it affects cities.
Ok, but what about carless cars and driverless drivers?
Driverless EMUs > Driverless Cars
We have a lot of careless drivers tho
If we want to reduce emissions more than that, which we really need to do, we need to find something else, like biking, which is way cleaner.
