How about Uber Feet, where you pay to walk somewhere?

Yeah, my nearest grocery store is a 1h15m walk or an 8 minute drive.

They invented FSD in the sixties and it makes a handy little loop through downtown Detroit.

And now we're inventing the shittiest "rail line" between Ann Arbor and Detroit on 94. All the hassle and expense of rail travel, with none of the efficiency!

Never heard of Hyperloop eh?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

They'll market it as moving at light speed too.

****heads.
