    We found this even within Canada. We were in Southern Ontario where its car centric and planners and developers just built roads and homes by pulling all the trees out and putting grass in. We often drove down to a coffee shop a few blocks away because the walk was dull.

    Moved to Vancouver area and there is a transit system, and walkable cities. While its not like the endless plaza shown in the video, being able to walk everywhere and with beautifully landscaped areas (not to mention the natural beauty) gets us outdoors and enjoying it.















  • Tesla doesn’t use Lidar, their system is actually just cameras and a prayer. It should never have been called autonomous driving, nor allowed as is.

    But roadways are imperfect; Missing markers, faded paint, pedestrians, bikes, dogs, all doing unpredictable things.

    We trust our autonomous Skytrain here in Vancouver, because conditions are controlled.

    To apply it to air you have predefined routes and craft is forces to follow a predetermined flight plan, but centrally controlled. With a mesh net to other craft in the air.

    GPS can be shifty in some areas, so there would also have station navigation, etc to guide the craft. And inter craft checking to get a mastered location.

    As for falling out of the sky due to failure, yes, that’s a huge problem LOL
