I think the point is it's green washing. True sustainability is public transit, or biking or walking. This is just a line item got a company to blast as sustainability in marketing. This will let Waymo absorb some money from green washing slush funds.


> True sustainability is public transit, or biking or walking.

Surely it's whatever is most sustainable, which Waymo (or equivalent) very well could be.


What? How could it possibly be more sustainable, the self driving parts are more energy hungry than a normal ebike.


But the energy can be renewable, so it isn't a problem.


It's better than the status quo, your standard for Scotsmen notwithstanding.

Free your mind. Cost per passenger mile is atrocious for most US transit systems. All that cost equals carbon: concrete, steel, fuel, salaries, etc.
