McKinsey said cities could adapt to the declining demand for office space by “taking a hybrid approach themselves,” developing multi-use office and retail space and constructing buildings that can be easily adapted to serve different purposes.

Given that the star trek teleporter most likely atomizes and simply copies the individual. Id have to agree with the auto manufacturers on that.
I don’t think that is settled science amongst the fanbase.
It may not be “settled science” in the series’ canon but it’s the only logical conclusion one can come to when applied to the real world. That’s how all our current information transfer works. It’s dissected and a copy is sent bit by bit.
The argument against it is that if you believe in philosophical materialism, and the transporter reconstructs the person exactly as they are on the other end, then they are exactly the same person as before. They may be “dead” in the medical sense in between, but people do get resuscitated from being technically dead, and we don’t consider them to be separate people afterwords. Without invoking some kind of soul that’s separate from the body, it’s difficult to argue that they are anything but the same person.
A fantasy hypothetical that teleportation was a thing, and you already side with the car manufacturers because of the hypothetical bads of teleportation.
Play with the original hypothetical my dude :)
If they hadn’t specified it as being Star trek I wouldnt have had a problem. 40k teleportation may send you through literal hell but it doesnt kill the original. And stargates are basically wormholes.
You are using various sci-fi universe laws as justification for your opinions of the idea being stupid?
You won’t imagine something because of 40k teleportation, a fiction. A fiction preventing from imagining a fiction?
