 Unchangeable
kfz-tech.de/YGe38
Have you ever thought about the fact that there are problems or, to put it more harmlessly, events that are simply unchangeable. Maybe an example will help as an introduction.
How should you design a train connection between Berlin and Munich? Of course, it should offer sufficient competition to domestic German air traffic. So, it should be quick, let's say, in extreme cases the train only stops in
Berlin and Munich.
Great right? But what does someone do who already lives a long way from Berlin towards Munich? Of course, with a slow train with several stops towards Berlin and then off to Munich. Or directly to Munich?
In extreme cases, the result is the same in both cases. You can use any transport concept you like, you won't find a public transport solution. Have you ever seen a bus that maybe only carries one or two people?
Can we afford this? But people advocate ever shorter clock speeds, possibly until late in the evening. Yes, with self-driving buses you might save on personnel costs, but you are still driving a device weighing tons where two
bicycles would theoretically be enough.

Is it possible to reasonably assess public transport throughout the day? Then you would have to force special groups, such as cyclists, to register. But how complex is it to swap an articulated bus for a normal bus, for
example, if the depot is just a little further outside the city?
Even worse? You want to go to the (big) city. The self-driving car takes you there. But what does it do after you step off? If it is looking for a parking space, where is the traffic relief? If it is sent back home, this is even negative.
Robotaxes can usually accommodate more passengers than today's ones. So you combine driving orders. If they start from the headquarters, the waiting times for the last passengers to be picked up become longer. Isn't it
a risk, for example, to wait somewhere alone for a robotaxi in the evening hours?
City centers should be as green and walkable as possible. But that limits their dimension enormously. Many people want to live there, but only a few can afford it because every square meter of floor or living space is
practically worth its weight in gold.
Even singles have difficulty affording a small apartment, which is almost impossible for families with children. A cheap supermarket will not be located there too, which also makes supplies more expensive. And is that
supposed to prevent the formation of ghettos?
Do you actually have to go to the city so often that it is worth living there? Shouldn't more rural regions be made more attractive than creating more and more living space in the city and possibly also
still subsidized by the state?
We not only need cheaper electric cars, but also affordable, ecologically sound living and working space in the countryside. Is a single-family home on a pleasantly large plot of land necessarily the best choice?
