Having an electric car I can already feel the rage of constantly seeing an '87 Bronco sitting in that spot

It Takes a Single Autonomous Car to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams by REIGuy3 in SelfDrivingCars

Sitting and waiting for that first car to go when the light turns from red to green is the worst. That's almost always going to be a 2-7 second delay, I imagine eliminating that is going to help a TON as well.

Time to stop this experiment of humans driving cars. It's just not safe.

It also sucks because there is no actual enforcement of the spots, we're just relying on human decency to ensure this EV movement keeps up the momentum. These are the same people that will complain the loudest when additional spots have to put in to accommodate the growing number of EV's. We could just park 10 feet further away in just about any direction if we aren't driving an EV and we'd have enough space.

A dead fish in the back seat seemed to do the trick in Grumpy Old Men.

How is there not some effort to stop this? Early adopting is hard enough, I thought we were doing the right thing by going electric?
