EVs are heavier, put more wear on the roads (for the same class of vehicle) and more microplastics into the environment from the tires. They don’t fix noise pollution, road safety or congestion.
We need better public transit, not robotaxis.
Fuck good, let’s have perfect.
They may not fix noise pollution, but they seem to reduce it. At least at urban speeds where I can be near them when they’re driving, them sure seem to be significantly quieter than gas cars.
Wait, why are EV tires more polluting than gasoline tires?
Because the car is heavier overall, which means they put more wear on the tires per mile driven.
On one hand, good. Great!
On the other hand, I live in the United States of Trumpistan. So many nincompoops here would be happy to drive a smoke-belching pickup truck to their office job while China speeds away from us with all their fancy book-learnin’ technology.
I thought you were going to say they would be happy to drive their smoke belching pickup trucks off a cliff and became briefly enthusiastic about the idea.
