2041 and the mf can't imagine a world that isn't infested by car centric infrastructure.

That image is not car centric. There are more pedestrians in that image than cars.

I count 11 pedestrians and 3 cars, but I might be off by 1 or 2 because of the lack of pixels

Yeah, and the 3 cars have 3 lanes at each side of the building by themselves while the pedestrians are restricted to the sidewalk.

The future will still be car based, but all city roads will be carved underground, leaving the top side for more buildings

Great idea, and because they are pretty straightforward tunnels it would be cool if cars rode not on the pavement but in some kind of structure that keep the weels on track and lesser the friction. The cars could also connect one with each other, so the cars on the back are not affected by the wind resistance turbulence created by the first car. Eventually, only the first car would need a driver (or in a crazy futuristic scenario, being self-drive) and for easy connections with the city some stops can be added on strategic locations. Being this a service thatbis more suitable for metropolitan cities (digging tunnels are expensive) we should call this system Metro. What do you think? Pretty bold, but maybe in the future someone build something like this.

Sounds like a really good idea.

Perhaps one day we’ll achieve the level of technological development to build and operate such an advanced infrastructure

Dude what is with the amount of car-hatred on this site lmao

They're very dangerous to occupants and other people, emit unhealthy pollution, emit greenhouse gases, cause major stress with noise pollution, and have a huge environment impact when manufactured.

Their infrastructure destroys nature, ruins neighbors and public spaces, exacerbates wealth inequality, and prevents healthy urban density.

Radical political ideologists love the Fediverse and always have, be it anarchosocialists or confederates. Not sure why. I just want shitposts and tech stuff.

Yeah same here. I doubt that this platform will ever see mainstream adoption if the first thing that people are greeted by are criclejerky posts bashing capitalism and cars. It’s a shame, because I’ve been enjoying the platform a lot - just not the constant slew of ideas being pushed by it’s users.
