    Yeah, smart stuff is only worth buying if you know what you’re doing. I wouldn’t bother with it otherwise.

    I don’t like at all the direction we’re taking with cars, they’re getting too invasive. They’re also extremely inefficient compared to a proper public transport infrastructure

      Agree with cars becoming more invasive, but disagree that they are less efficient. The only places where public transport shines is in cities. Outside of cities, it is very difficult to make public transport efficient enough to make it worthwhile. I live in The Netherlands, which is the size of a post stamp, and even here, when you don’t live in the city your commute is 3 to 4 times longer by public transport than a car.
