yes, but we don't lack broadband. Even my ADSL2 which is slow isn't a huge issue for, I would estimate, 99% of the population. "ADSL2" does not really define anything at all. It could be giving you speeds slower than dialup, it could be giving you speeds of 1mbit/sec which is absolutely h...

It almost happened again on the St Clair development with the opposition to the land swap deal almost creating a similar situation (how is this going by the way?) and I fear the same may happen to West Lakes with Westfield removing free all-day parking to bus patrons and significant down-grading of...

I particularly like CGP Grey's explanation of what driverless cars will mean to us(in this lifetime): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU Also the driverless bus opens all kinds of options for an on demand bus system like Uber. You could car pool with 12 other people with a system that autom...

We should stop polluting this thread with offtopic conversation; sorry I am mostly to blame for that!

Driverless car thread:

bearing in mind with driverless vehicles, the amount of individual vehicles on the road will INCREASE, as people opt for these rather than mass transit. I don't follow that argument at all. Are you saying people only catch the train/bus/tram currently because they don't like driving? It has nothing...

I would say the requirement for freeways will increase with time not decrease, as stop start journeys on main roads controlled by traffic lights do not tie in well with high efficiency driverless vehicles concept. Intersections should prove no issue at all. The cars will fly through them bumper to ...

In the time period you would think Adelaide will require all these freeways, eg in decades to come; driverless vehicles will be the norm.

In time the self driving cars have huge potential for efficiency on the roads that humans can not manage.

I'd say the next chunk to be upgraded along South Road will be Tonsley Boulevard to Emerson crossing (or perhaps even as far as the Gallipoli underpass), my understanding is this section will be raised motorway (at-least until Emerson) and the current Emerson overpass will be taken down and rebuilt...

Alright...so from Torrens Road, travelling either East towards the City or West towards the beach, how do we get onto the motorway? There doesn't seem to be any access... If you are on Torrens Road heading east or west, you could use the surface South Road. It has 2 lanes heading north/south so you...

It seems as though this will be an unincorporated, stand-alone building, rather than one that attaches to the centre proper, meaning that in order to enter Aldi, you need to walk outside. I've never been a massive fan of this style. I wondered if they were going to take out one of the specialty sto...

I dont get why people care. There is a big cool tree in Victoria Square every year. Rundle Mall has a few lights and a small tree. I would prefer the money spent on permanent fixtures that can be enjoyed year round, rather than burning absurd amounts of money on something less and less people even c...

Plus a bonus shot from the rear phrasing.jpg Oh wow that was not intended! Have you been on any of those rear tracks before? You get that strong vibe you shouldn't be there and some authority will soon come and yell at you. But you can take some real nice shots from back there then swiftly exit, le...

How about a few floors lower?
