    ban manual cars

    increasing noise and particulate pollution

    Are they building non-“manual” cars that are noisy and polluting? I’ve never seen the term “manual car” yet, but I’m assuming it means a non-self-driving car, which already includes many electric options.

    I haven’t driven a car in about 2 years, now, and I’ve tried to keep up with the news of self-driving developments (and snake oil), but I still think we’ll still see self-driving cars long before we see the ability to remove cars from the equation completely.

    Kumbaya.

      They mean not automatic. A car that you need to work the gears. A normal car in most places.
