Kathleen Pham+FollowWhy I’m skipping car ownership in the Bay AreaChatGPT’s Study Mode just saved me from buying a car I didn’t really want. After months of feeling pressured—especially with my partner moving away and taking our shared car—I turned to AI for help. Instead of a simple yes or no, Study Mode hit me with questions I hadn’t even considered: Do I actually enjoy driving? How much do I really spend on Ubers and deliveries? Turns out, the yearly cost of owning a car here would double what I pay for convenience now. Plus, I realized I love my downtown lifestyle and don’t miss the stress of parking or traffic. Anyone else debating car-free living? #Tech #BayAreaLife #CarFree00Share
Joe Gallagher+FollowWould You Ditch Your Car for a Robot Ride?Tried living car-free with just Uber, buses, and my bike—lasted less than 6 months. The awkward small talk and waiting around killed me. But now Uber’s rolling out shared, self-driving rides (starting in LA with a VW ID.Buzz!) and cheaper route-based options in big cities. No more chit-chat, possibly half the price of UberX, and you just chill in the back. Is the future of commuting finally here, or are we just in a tech honeymoon phase? #AutonomousVehicles #Uber #CarFree #TechTrends #FutureOfTransport #Transportation00Share
