Revealed: car industry was warned keyless vehicles vulnerable to theft a decade ago

Dude youre being a condescending ass, plenty of us wish we had the ability to use public transit but it is either wholly insufficient or non existant in many places.

Just using myself as an example, say I want to go to taco bell I have 2 options drive for 15 minutes at most or walk for over 2 hours because my city is built on a fucking slope. Also the city has no infra city public transit cause we're too small, also most of the city is actually pretty walkable if you live towards the center of the East West axis which I do not.

Look, I love good public transportation infrastructure as much as you. I always try to tell other people and especially the government how much my city urgently needs to upgrade its trains, BRTs, sidewalks, etc (thankfully though there's now multiple efforts on building MRT & LRT).

But, that doesn't mean cars are the worst invention in the history of man--you folks always say that and it's infuriating to me, it's such a narrow-minded way of seeing the world.

Take Japan for example, the train infrastructure is pretty much the best. I know that cuz I've been there, trust me, I can talk about this for hours. So good that, while we lived there, we didn't feel the need to buy a car. Their bus is pretty good too. Sidewalks, bike lanes, accessibility, etc have been taken into account when they were building their city.

But when you live in rural parts of Japan, it's inevitable--you need cars. There isn't just enough demand for public transportation. Sometimes there's a train going through but the frequency is low, and most of the time it's only single-track. Or sometimes there are buses going through, but infrequently.

And it's fine. The city is small, and there aren't enough car users to make bad traffic congestion.

Different story for big city though. I always thought that living in a big city is a form of compromise: you have a limited space of land to use, but you need to use that land for millions of people. If the city only relies on cars, it's going to be so inefficient. Too much traffic congestion, bad pollution. That's why good cities build mass transportation, or in your case, buses.

And the best cities build extremely good mass transportation so good that people doesn't feel the need of buying cars. Of course cars still exist, like the city I lived back in when I was in Japan. Or rural parts of Japan. Or perhaps people that commute between them. But there are options: cars, bikes, buses, trains, etc.

Here's my point: the availability of options are the best. It's okay if you want to ride cars, bike, bus, or trains.

Cause you'll need cars at some point in your life. And it's alright.

Looks like ya hit a sore spot with some millimeter peters
