RoboTaxis: Silicon Valley's Spectacular Failure Of Imagination

Submitted by: David Emmett

There are those who love travelling, and those who don’t. I love riding motorcycles. I love the feeling of controlling a bike as it moves through space, and the feeling of being a part of the scenery I am riding through.

This is the polar opposite of how the vast majority of drivers experience car travel. For them, the objective is to get from A to B as quickly as possible and without experiencing anything of the intervening space. What most car drivers really want is the transporter technology from Star Trek: step in, and reappear instantaneously at your destination.

The joy of riding a motorcycle is to take the road less travelled, to go off the beaten path. It is about avoiding the infrastructure put in by traffic engineers with the sole aim of transporting people from A to B with as little contact as possible with the intervening space.
