[00:36:01] <exec> 08└─Self driving vehicles with really low driver per unit weight of freight. Hmm.. aha! Trains? :P Self driving trucks on public roads is rolling accident waiting to crush some ordinary people.

[00:36:02] <exec> 08└─If trains were a good alternative for long-haul trucking, we'd long since have traded trucks for trains. And I'd far rather have a robot driving trucks than an human.

[00:36:04] <exec> 08└─Trains should be a more economical alternative than trucks for long haul. The problem is that trucks have offloaded their costs onto other motorists and governments. The vast majority of road damage is caused by heavy vehicles, yet they pay a minute percentage of road maintenance and repair costs.

[00:36:06] <exec> 08└─> If trains were a good alternative for long-haul trucking, we'd long since have traded trucks for trains. That's argument for rationalizing any and every non-action. It presumes that there aren't external factors and it assumes that technology doesn't change.
