We used to drive bicycles when we were children. Then we started driving cars. Bicycles have two wheels, cars have four. Eight wheels seems to be the logical next step, why don’t we drive eight-wheel vehicles?
See here’s where this analogy is perfect. Sometimes a bicycle is the best solution, just like how sometimes a microcontroller is the best solution. You use the tool you need for the job, and American product design is creating way too many “smart” products just like how American town planning demands too many cars. Bring back the microcontroller! Bring back the bike!

I mean we do right?
Trains are typically 2 x 4 bogies.
But then high speed rail have fewer wheels due to friction.
Funny how we are moving back to bicycles, as cars aren’t scalable solution.
Bus is, though
More wheels!
But we aren’t really.
We should be.
They serve different purposes, what’s wrong with having both bikes and cars? People live outside of cities too, you know
Some of us drive 18-wheeled vehicles.
Some of us drive 48-wheeled vehicles.
Lobbying by the auto corporations obviously. More wheels is more better
