      Transportation does. But that includes planes, trains, and boats, not just cars.

      Not defending AI here, the last thing we need is another unchecked, massive, resource hog.

      I’ve seen the argument that AI will reduce travel demand. But I’ve also seen AI guys lobby aggressively to end Work From Home.
