    EVs are heavier, put more wear on the roads (for the same class of vehicle) and more microplastics into the environment from the tires. They don’t fix noise pollution, road safety or congestion.

    We need better public transit, not robotaxis.

      They may not fix noise pollution, but they seem to reduce it. At least at urban speeds where I can be near them when they’re driving, them sure seem to be significantly quieter than gas cars.
