В мире абсурдного

Сообщает слэшдот: известный французский производитель троллейбусов Navya объявил о строительстве в штате Мичиган завода по производству троллейбусов, управляемых роботами. Предполагается, что троллейбусы будут развивать скорость 12 миль в час.

Подождите, рано смеётесь, это ещё не всё.

Камент: Why build the trolleys in Michigan? You realize this sort of thing just empowers Trump? Gives him ammunition? After Michigan's disgraceful performance in the election, you'd think responsible interntional countries would locate a new plant anywhere BUT Michigan.

In 2010, the average vehicle speed in Manhattan was 9.35 MPH. In 2014, it dropped to 8.51 MPH. (See the city's data below.) The MTA, which has GPS data from its buses, is reporting a 5 percent decline in rush hour bus speeds.


12 mph is plenty :)

If a vehicle capable of driving 40 MPH can actually drive with 8.51 MPH average, I can only imagine how slow will be the average if top speed is 12 MPH.

12 MPH *at average* is plenty.
12 MPH cap is very slow.
