Cities are trying to reduce their dependency on vehicles driven by humans (or robots) @josephpolitano.bsky.social
The safest streets for vulnerable road users are streets that prioritize the safety of people over the convenience of motor vehicles.
The data 100 times over tells us that truth.

There's plenty of data that waymo is safer than average US drivers
But even ignoring that, just think—waymo does 500k trips/week now, if they had were even close to the crash rate of normal drivers they'd be killing a pedestrian like every other week

Parenting is hard when racists are given megaphones and are then amplified by followers that excuse the racism as part of the ‘package’ of getting lower taxes or some bullshit. And I say that with a 17 & 14 y/o. I can’t fully explain the chill when they ask, “will it be worse when we get older?” 🤯💔😞
Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist
