[meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars? (lemmy.world)

Switzerland's rural villages are mostly still compact and built around train stations. Just because you're not packed in with a ton of people and stuff doesn't mean that the people and stuff you do have needs to be super far apart.

Granted, stuff is super far apart in the US because that's how we've built it. My point is that we didn't have to do it that way and it isn't impossible to do it better.

I get it. Personally I don’t like small villages but yeah, what they have in the US is not good either (I’m in Italy). My ideal future is few mega cities with everything in it and no need for “cars”. And raw nature outside those
