I'd day the future of locomotion is to connect the bikes together with rigid links and put them in line. But there is still the problem of potholes. But that can be avoided by replacing roads which have to be redone every year by something like tracks, then you don't even have to worry about direction and self-driving becomes easy.
Sounds familiar to you ?
I even would that there is personal convenience to personal vehicles. And nothing wrong with personal convenience but it's also true that some modern conveniences have a rather high cost in terms of negative externalities that I doubt we can afford any longer on this planet (yes I am looking at you, cars) while others not as much.
I am not saying that from a moral standpoint, I really like personal convenience but I don't like it so much when other people lives are made miserable to support for my personal convenience. And I'd like to think that solutions that work for the collective can be optimized to be made more convenient for everyone.
