>>1811932electric vehicles are currently non viable. what we need is massive fuck off funding in battery tech do deal with future needs, because we cant make enough electric vehicles for everyone.
in an ideal situation in america for example
1) we don't have bike lanes, instead bikes on sidewalks in manual modes, segment it out as needed, or they function on the road like a motorcycle in electric case. in so many areas they took a 2 lane road and made it 1, so the bike lane has a good go, and they destroyed that segment of road for actual cars, so emergency vehicles can't get in even if they needed to.
2) we have have chemicals on rails, moving people between major areas as needed, any walk that is more than 20 minutes gets serviced by another. I can imagine a train/buss hybrid, hydraulics that raise and lower wheels to take them from one area to another and when they are on track they have lift wheels and become apart of a system, this would be used for sporting events, when shit hits a mass number of people.
3) in between towns have a rapid service where you are on one of these train busses get off, and within 20 minute there is another to get on.
4) there is a prefered card that gets you into nicer areas of the bus or full busses just for people who aren't problems. the main reason public transport in america does not work is because of these people, anyone with half a brain pays for a car just so they don't have to be next to the person who pisses on the seat next to you because fuck it they had to pee.
personally, if I had internet access on these buses or a powerful enough portable I would gladly trade a 40-60 minute car ride there and back from work for a 2 hour there and back where I can do shit in between
personally, once full self driving happens, I don't see this more or less happening but on an individual level, personally I would want to see mass transit for people ingest and then individual once they get there, but realistically it wont be.
