I'm actually getting rid of my car in the next couple of months because they are becoming more and more difficult to justify keeping.
I'd love to follow you, but I've got habits. And we live where there's free parking and good public transport, so I can have it for transient uses. Also mine is old enough that it is a stupid car, no 3G modem or telematics.
But, in general, the notion that people should get into such contraptions and transport themselves autonomously without every effort made to keep them in check (much like the railways did realise they had to do 150+ years ago) is insane and should be abolished.
Sadly enough, there are several countries that have taken up the concept as some kind of national pastime that is holy and must not be questioned, so probably won't happen.
I much rather have someone else transport me. Gives room for thought, reflection, and work. As I went to work once a week during the recent medical unpleasantness I spent a mind-numbing 2h each day holding a fucking steering wheel. Complete waste of time. But, it was done so that those who lack my choice could have more room in public transport.
Tomorrow evening, I'm off to Copenhagen on the night train. Going to present on a conference, and will, of course, show pretty pictures of and from TE. I hope I'll enjoy the trip; I usually do. Given that I travel for work, I'm entitled to single occupancy sleeper, which gives things like in-shite loo and shower, and my choice of breakfast at a hotel at the arrival station. Contrasted to getting up at 0400 and stumbling out to a taxi, only to be humiliated at the airport by cops for hire, and then getting stuffed in an aluminium tube for 40 minutes, trains are
civilised.
