    The craze for self-driving cars, especially if the current machine trend is anything to go by. Two issues with it I can’t help but understand is that driving needs a human factor and that if the freedom of being in the driver seat wasn’t an issue, we’d be significantly closer to desiring a system of long distance personal rails instead of cars. I’m all for metasystemic road reform.

        Both options are pretty destructive to the environment (though I was thinking more monorail-esque than trains), but roads and cars I would think do more negatives, from the road construction to the CO2 to the car accidents. And it might not even be rails that are the best option, I just know our traffic system is horrendous.
