Reply to comment by Lawjarp2 in Driverless cars and electric cars being displayed as the pinnacle of future transportation engineering is just… wrong. Car-based infrastructure is inefficient, bad for the environment and we already have better technologies in other fields that could help more. An in depth analysis by mocha_sweetheart

  1. Fine. How about walkable cities? Besides, you’re stuck in traffic with others in this situation anyway.
  2. We are part of the environment that we are killing which we rely on.

Walkable cities are fine, preferable even.

As long as one understands that environment is kept safe for ourselves to have better lives and not for some puritanical purpose of saving it, it's fine and again preferable.

Genuine question, what exactly do you think makes humans better and more deserving than the environment around them? I genuinely want to see the kind of reasoning as to why someone would think like this.

Edit: surprised I’m being downvoted for asking this.

Do you think termites ask this question of themselves when they munch on your house?

There is no such thing as "deserving" in nature.
