As AVs deploy and circle for passengers (or for their owners avoiding paying for parking), we will see traffic jams with empty cars regularly. We won't need a blackout.

KC, how the heck did we allow a hotel this close to the streetcar to have no ground floor presence other than parking and a tiny door to the elevator used to access the 2nd floor lobby? Let's hope our standards have elevated.

Missouri pedestrian fatalities have risen 22% this year. Does the state need a new strategy?
So far this year, 128 pedestrians have been killed in Missouri — a troubling increase over the same period in 2024, which was already the deadliest on record.

A man with a mobility aid is forced to step aside because there is not room for him because the robot will not make room for a person (esp. those with a mobility aid who need addditional room)

L.A. redesigned a road to slow traffic. People fought to reverse the safety improvements and won. Then one of the advocates hit and killed a woman walking her dog (the dog died too).
This should be a lawsuit. The city is liable along with the driver.

America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

Really shouldn't be surprised anymore, but still cringe at every account profile that's wall-to-wall progressive causes, but think it's ok for other people to die just to preserve a few parking spots or drive as fast as they want.
