just saw a microlino for the first time, self-described as "a four-wheeled, battery electric bubble car" 🚘

your mom's favorite farcaster (probably), building /quidli 🦑 & /dist ♻️, casting in /justinahn, daoing in /🍊 & /🟪

With the upcoming trove of autonomous cars, part of me wonders if a lot of cars will reduce in size 

While “family cars” remain current size people commuting don’t need all that space

Paris

there's been a huge uptick in electric bikes here in /paris the past few years, including cargo ones to lug around families

at the same time, what's been hilarious is i've also suddenly noticed pickup trucks too (not nearly as frequent but still "new" to this environment")

As someone without a car in the US 

I can’t wait for Waymo / Robotaxi 

I imagine cheaper than uber, and no atrocious small talk

Heard, but the hard truth is I think Taxi Drivers / Being driven around by a person days are numbered 

Less accidents, less traffic, less pollution, and more productive time bc people can work / talk / read in a car 

(This was one of my favorite things about the subway in NYC, I was able to read my whole commute)

while i'd love waymo here too, i'm sure the state will find a way to make it more expensive with claims that it'd ruin the livelihood of taxi drivers
