“What incredible inconvenience are we trying to solve?”

40,000 deaths in the United States every year. Hundreds of thousands of costly accidents

We can’t get great transportation even in the New York City area. We have 0 miles of high-speed rail, while China built 25,000

it’s great that you want to start building some mass transit, but it’ll take a century if we start now.

Let’s start by having trains take you to the airport directly…

In the meantime, getting self driving cars that are all electric will be a big win. Perhaps car ownership will drop.
