How about Uber Feet, where you pay to walk somewhere?

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, my nearest grocery store is a 1h15m walk or an 8 minute drive.

You joke but how about exoskeletal legs that you rent? Like those scooter rentals

They got bought by Uber tmobile though, so the prices jumped

They invented FSD in the sixties and it makes a handy little loop through downtown Detroit.

[–] skyspydude1@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

And now we're inventing the shittiest "rail line" between Ann Arbor and Detroit on 94. All the hassle and expense of rail travel, with none of the efficiency!

Never heard of Hyperloop eh?

[–] essell@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

They'll market it as moving at light speed too.

****heads.
