If only there were a way for people to take an automated vehicle from A to B safely and consistently.

Shame no one has ever designed one of those before.

And it’s a damn shame no one has ever designed such a thing on multiple occasions only for it to be shut down by bullshit dreams of a nonsense technology only devised to maintain a transport monopoly that depends on people spending the equivalent of a small house every 10 or so years.
