gollark: Most trips are *not* that long, and I figure for long ones, if there was more automation and efficiency in the process, you could rent a longer-range car temporarily (in some hypothetical world where this is a common thing).
gollark: Well, then you can use... a non-electric car, for now.
gollark: It's not like you need most cars to be able to satisfy every eventuality.
gollark: As I sort of said, I think having a personal car around all the time which is designed for really long trips and incurs a lot of expense that way is kind of wasteful.
gollark: It could be done partly manually for now anyway.
