The taxi comment was funny to me, because here in Germany our taxis are all very clean and well kept and usually also moderately expensive cars like Mercedes.

Hmmm, for something that took so long to make, with such a visibly huge production value, I think the point is rather weak.

The video spends a lot of time on “but AVs cause accidents too”, without ever opening a single page of statistics, just some horrible articles for shock value. Those few examples are then followed by “drivers kill 40k a year”, which gives me entirely the wrong impression.

Then it veers off into plausible-sounding, but ultimate unsupported wild speculation, with only a single example about a town going carcentric getting ruined (I’d love a case study on that, it seemed far more interesting than most of the video).

For a channel that’s normally very good about showing examples and supporting data i can’t help but notice the stark contrast in this video. And that’s not a good look, especially since the case could be made without proclaiming cybernet to be the end of walking.
