One of the big objections to the plan to put tolls on I-205 to fund expansion is the increase of rat running, which is already a problem for several cities adjacent to the proposed toll area. The streets people are cutting through to avoid traffic now are already insufficient to the task.

Apologies for getting off-topic but: what gets me about the Segway is that a lot of what Dean Kaman and his boosters envisioned has come true, at least in terms of the availability of small personal transportation. It’s just that the secret ingredient wasn’t the Segway, it was smartphone apps, cheap batteries, and the “abuse the legal interstices” model of startup disruption. Unfortunately this last one also means that urban planners end up aggressively hostile to building systems of support around scooter sharing, and not without good reason.
(EDIT of EDIT: Thanks to @FGD135 for moving this to a better spot!)

Maybe. But sandwiches were delivered before doorD. You had to call and the restaurant handled the delivery.

And it might be more efficient than the customer going out to pick up food themselves, since the delivery driver routes from pick up to customer to next pick up directly rather than out and back.

There’s always a relevant XKCD. Sometimes it just turns up a little late.
