the thing with trains is they get more inefficient the more tracks there are. Trains are great for connecting a few high spots with high traffic between them, not for everyone’s daily transportation needs.
No… I trains are great to comment A and B. But If you don’t live in A or B, the they are not great… The train network is fair where I live and covers a lot of the country. But still not everyone can use them. The majority of people living in cities can though. It will never cover the needs of all
Yes it does. Even a dirt road is still a road. Debris free and compacted. You want to prove me wrong, try driving your car on farmland or through forest and see how far you get.
Oh, I did just that for many years while living in a countryside of a small country in Eastern Europe. Does that look like bloody road to you? Debree free and compacted?
Trust me, you don’t need roads for cars, any wide trail suitable for walking or horse riding will do. And there are more trails like that in the world than all the paved roads and railroads combined.
![[meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars?](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/11c37658-7c32-4cc2-b12c-6ced348bd09d.png){kind=link}
That’s because your country has a shitty rail network.
Before there were roads everywhere the car were not as practical.

A car doesn’t need a road that’s the thing.

That’s exactly what is is. Dirt road. Look it up.
Is it debris free? No. Is it compacted? No. It’s not even flat.
What is this statement? Do you really think this? Here’s a trail I was walking on recently, please show me a car that could handle this.
That’s not a trail, innit?
???
oh, let’s just go drive across grass. Those traffic lights? Don’t need 'em.
Yeah, and it’s GREAT!
