It's annoying that for the past 20 years, cars have gotten bigger and meaner looking, while the roads haven't really changed much (at best, deteriorated)

Need an unbundling cycle where cars get smaller, cuter, and more humane

OK so I’ve actually looked into this a couple times because I was curious can you build a one seater car that is smaller and works sort of like a Waymo or cruise -  is autonomous and can move in the city

One of the difficulties with this is that in building a chassis for a car it cost about the same for a one seater as it is for a four seater so the consequence of this is that you naturally optimize for carrying more people and so you’re gonna end up with bigger cars 

that being said it doesn’t really go into the theme of trucks and SUVs becoming bigger but I think that’s a separate story

Also autonomous cars increasingly becoming a hot space difficult to get into because there’s a leg up for a lot of these folks. 

But yeah fascinating nonetheless I don’t think cars are gonna be unbundled anytime soon though but I do think autonomous cars will unlock a new kind of necessary car but maybe more like a moving place, a moving part of the city and I think that will be interesting and I think we’re just in chapter 1 in that idea

I think thinking of them as cars are gonna be the wrong idea
