Well I was being glib but I think we have a greater ability than to eliminate cars today than we do to make them safer by self driving. I think we could get it done in like 5 years outside of rural areas if we had everyone on board.
The verge’s article on the same incident went on a tangent about how tech companies have been continously facing issues with these kinds of devices destroyed. Can’t have a ride sharing program if all the bikes, scooters, vehicles are vandalized or destroyed. No way we’re going to rid of personally owned vehicles if the alternatives are continously under attack.
Why wait for a reduction when we can eliminate it right away?
Probably because we can’t reasonably eliminate it right away.

“If we had everyone on board” is the biggest hurdle.
True but that’s why I’m here advocating for it. Political opposition can be overcome. The physics of a speeding multi-ton object cannot.
Sure, but that’s gonna be at least half a generation leading up to your five year estimate.
