We only really see the stress in the system when there is a high profile failure point but a well-designed justice system is as much (if not more) about rehabilitation as incarceration - and the process failures here are mostly invisible

This letter to The Economist makes a decent point. The case for robo taxis probably feels overwhelming in a country where the urban design means you're utterly screwed without a car.
