You get that billions of people already live without a car. Millions in the USA alone.

Or, you know. Catch the bus. Or the tram, or the train, or the ferry. Or walk. Or run. Or ride. Or get on a scooter. Of roller blade. Or use a skateboard.

40,000 people are killed every single year in the USA due to cars. Over 2 million are injured or disabled. And that is direct deaths, not including deaths from pollution.

That is the tip of the iceberg for problems with cars.

And yet, you can't see why cars are a problem? I don't believe you.

Millions are killed by medical mistakes. Does that mean we should do away with doctors?

You can’t count the negative and ignore all the positives.

We don't have a effective alternative to doctors. We do for cars, at least in dense urban settings.

We invest pretty heavily in reducing medical mistakes. Why shouldn't we try to do the same with cars?

So you will consume less to? Another bonus.

Sure, if you compare 1 to 1. But you have 100s to 1 on any street. A 100 cars are lot more noisy and polluting than one bus.

And we recover all that wasted space on roads to build parks and a lot more housing.

it would be a very slow re allocation

And, they are often the worst drivers in any city.

That's really false. They are professional drivers, it's much safer to bike around them as opposed to regular people who don't understand how NYC streets work.

Density of cars, not necessarily density of people.

I don't understand why people update straight away. Leave it a few weeks/months. Especially as a developer.

Early adopters are the reason bugs are reported :)

iOS13 comes with a load of security fixes and new features - people are encouraged to update ASAP.

iOS13 comes with a load of breaking changes in iCloud. iOS12 devices and macOS apps (e.g. reminders) no longer sync with iPhones until you upgrade.

And drivers kill a lot more people than protestors.
