Google's Self-Driving Vehicles Have Completed 300,000 Miles of Testing: Are Autonomous Cars the Next Big Thing?

Its not the car that is fossil free that will solve the problem even if that problem is solved, its the amount of vehicles on the road is the problem.
How many of you out there HAVE to travel to work, there are a people who have to go to work every day, some of us can work at home a few days of the week i can do work at home for the business without going in to work.
Just saying it might help.
Public transport around here is a laugh,its expensive because no one hardy ever uses it so the company that runs it charges a lot so then its self perpetuating.
The three of us were going for a few drink in the local town, i said that i would catch the bus.Three changes and £7.50 and i would have been in the bus for 1hour 30 minutes to travel 12 miles, i told the woman it would be quicker and cheaper if i cycled,fair play she agreed with me that it was shambolic.
There has to be more incentives for people to use public transport, i would use it if it was viable to use it,out in Hanover they park outside the city in this massive car park and they jump on the tram which stops at various points on the way in,back in 1994 it was 4 DM which was around a £1 and the car park was about £1.50 all day and they ran every 20 minutes and to the center of Hanover was 7/8 miles so park and ride for £2.50 all day.
And people used it because it was viable.
They would never do that around here, they would make the car park expensive and the mode of transport expensive and then no one would use it, and they all would be scratching their head it the town hall and all in union would say "why dont they use the park and ride it worked in Germany and a load of other places"
