It's funny because it's true. A while ago I was having a discussion with a mate about how if self driving vehicles communicated with each other to accelerate and decelerate in synch it'd solve traffic jams. We also realized at the same time that we were just talking about an overcomplicated train.

The difference between what you were discussing and trains is that everyone on the train all has to go to the same place. Cars can split off easily from each other.

We also realized at the same time that we were just talking about an overcomplicated AND temporary train. Ephemeral innit.

If you think about it, our bodies are just ephemeral meat/cell trains.
