    It will never replace cars for people with disabilities.

    Every single person who argues this in this thread doesn’t have a disability and is ignorant towards the challenges they face.

    Had a family member who was disabled for 40 years.

      Disabilities come in many shapes. For certain disabilities, sure a train/public transit might be inferior to cars.

      However I’d say for a majority of cases, public transit is much more hospitable to disabled folks. Many disabilities make driving either impossible, massively impractical, or outright dangerous.

        This post is about autonomous vehicles, which will render this concern obsolete.

        For many disabilities it’s useless due to the fact you still need to get to it to use it.

        Driving being useless is exactly the point.
