AI cannot reason its way out of new situations that programmers didn’t anticipate. Compare that to a squirrel, which can figure a way to get into any bird feeder in existence.
Yes, I’m saying a squirrel is smarter than a #Waymo robotaxi.

#Atlanta voted in 2022 to put $750 million towards safer streets (sidewalks, #bike lanes, etc). Unfortunately, “…less than 20% of the money has been spent on projects.”
So, what happened to the remaining $600 million? Who has it and what are they doing with it?

Once the Trump regime ends, it is vital that those who opposed it don’t suddenly exhibit weakness and talk of “moving on.”

These “legacy” projects must be washed away.

Motorist selfishness & cowardly politicians defeated #VisionZero. The lesson is that advocates must organize, refuse to compromise, & intimidate just like opponents have do.
It’s also good to shame opponents for putting convenience ahead of #publicsafety.

Avoid #Tesla:
“All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.”

#Waymo, unsafe at any speed:

Right wingers & reactionaries lost when Brooklyn’s Court Street gained a bike lane.

It’s now safer, quieter, easier to cross the street, bikes and cars aren’t intermixed, and car traffic doesn’t speed only to halt at reds.
