    the catalytic converter is probably worth more in scrap than the whole rest of the car

    Thats cool Meli ..
    once upon a time, directly across from my house today was a horse stable.
    mostly this housed the neigh-borhood horses. This wouldve been around the 1800s. Kinda like a parking lot for cars but only horses. If you lived on this street at the time I suppose it was easy enough to walk and get your horse to go to the city, a few miles down river. This area was becoming highly developed for railroads and steel .. I only know from the little history shared in this hood..

    that does look super cool, but it also looks like a billion dollar project that would be probably no more effective than a bus system.

    it seems like it would be way more efficient if the personal pod cars were changed into a mass transit, large car option. basically like a subway, but without having to dig.

    what i find really odd about this, is that people have only thought this way, only had them as we know them, for around a hundred, less then a hundred and fifty, years.
    they're a great con game, to let people think they are free, while at the same time, one of the very means, of keeping them indentured.

    I think it was floated more as a touristy gimmick rather than a viable public transportation option, to show how progressive and technology-forward the city is. Which it isnt yet but with pod cars we could have been something. We could have been a contender

    I actually looked this up last night and found out the project is still in development so maybe it actually will happen one day

    Yes, bicycles have always been a big part of traffic in my country, already since their invention, also in the busy cities. And will obviously play a bigger role in the future in other countries too. New York seems a great example.

    Uber is trialling flying-helicopter cars for the super-rich to hop between their towers high above the unwashed proles below. I predict epic fail.

    More likely, the car was hot, and they decided to make it disappear, because possession is 9/10s of the law.
