While I find the driverless cars interesting, progress is certainly not reshaping an existing broken system that still requires basically the same infrastructure.
It's radical change - like in Paris, Barcelona, etc.
I had not heard of that book about trams and streetcars.
I am with you on your criticism of the Boss and matters "innate love of the car". If all you ever see and experience is the car, then no surprise you have some varying degree of love for it. Same applies to supporting football teams.
Now, as the pendulum swings the other way in some places, and there is a desire to favour pedestrians and bikes over cars, our designers and city planners need to be thoughtful about how to "tip the balance".
Back home in Zurich, a conflict has broken out between the city and the canton over bike lanes. The city went mad, shut car lanes and caused massive traffic jams. Those who run the city have clearly never read the paradigm of "Barstool Economics"
And now there are driverless cars everywhere on the westside in Los Angeles.
Instead of investing in good public transportation ..more cars and more cars!
