Featuring an avowed reactionary like Curtis Yarvin at a symposium billed as a gathering of “distinguished political thinkers” – alongside Quinn Slobodian and Lea Ypi – risks laundering openly anti-democratic views as just another contribution to respectable debate. Can’t see the case for this.

It's perfectly fine for AV co's to use teleoperators -- they need human backstops if their tech gets confused.
But Waymo et al. have said little about them. That erodes trust.
For instance:
🔹 How many is "enough" to handle emergencies?
🔹 What if one shows up drunk?
🔹 What's the latency rate?

🔹 Hailed rides are a luxury service, and users won't tolerate ick/annoyance
🔹 Transit is much cheaper and sometimes *better* than shared car trips b/c routes are fixed

Lower the posted limit. Deploy traffic cameras. Insert speed humps. Install road diets.
They all work – and most residents support them.But implementation often feels like pulling teeth.
