This article is the written equivalent of the soyjak pointing meme. Adds no further insight and serves only to hype up a product that does not yet exist.

It does exist, it's just trains, not cars.

Trains have drivers. Also, I can either take a train out of my city or into it. I can't use a train within my city and it doesn't take me grocery shopping either. My head hurts trying to imagine how you think a train is going to replace car.

It will never replace cars for people with disabilities.

Every single person who argues this in this thread doesn't have a disability and is ignorant towards the challenges they face.

Had a family member who was disabled for 40 years.

It's also a "putting water in a pot over a flame will get you hot water" article.. pretty obvious fact.

Brain transplants into completely healthy bodies could help too, but since neither are available right now, I don’t get what the purpose of this article is.

More investment in public transit would do this cheaper, better, and quicker.

In the US we have ADA funding for para transit as well as county and municipal funding. All we have to do is increase it to make paratransit more convenient for the disabled.

We're still not in a position for vehicles to be entrusted to someone who couldn't physically intercede to take over control of the car in an emergency.

Or pass over them too.
