> But we know how that goes and nobody actually will care about the scooter enough to return or take care of it.
Looking at countries like the Netherlands this is not true. Train stations have rentable bikes which are always available in sufficient quantities.
> So what do we do? Uber-Tesla-Subway pods. I call it by phone, it shows up to my house, either transfers me or lets me dock with the subway and then brings me the last mile just to leave me there for the next thing it has to do.
Individual 'pods' will just never be a sufficiently scalable & ecologically friendly solution for any real city. There's just no way that having several hundred kilos of metal & plastic per individual, along with the space requirements (esp for safety) works.
On the other hand, autonomous & shared 'cars' could replace individual vehicles for hauling / transporting as peak usage would be much lower than for transit.
if I recall correctly, the fine scales up as time goes on up some (2?) percentage of company revenue. Like most people I would be happier seeing them get a several billion dollar fine right off the bat but so long as it eventually becomes unbearable that's good enough for me.
This is an interesting idea but is there any description of the soundness of this approach? Any functionality capable of subsuming not just inductive types but higher-inductive types is going to be very subtle. I looked around on the repository but I can't find any formal description of the language or type theory, which is worrying for a proof tool.
