The hilarious part about this is that even a sci-fi scenario can’t even imagine walkable or transit-oriented city development. I guess even in the automated robot future we’re still using cars for some reason.

You’d think that our robot AI overlords would calculate how wasteful personal vehicle infrastructure is and how un-optimized they are for human health and well-being, lowering the efficiency of the enslaved populace, and make corrections.
