This car was going 100 mph. That shouldn't be possible on a (sub)urban street. Every other commonly used consumer product has basic safeguards: you can't accidentally set your toaster to 2,000°F. Speed limiters in all cars now!
@nextdoorsv.bsky.social crazy accident in Los Gatos. But I’m thankful this Thanksgiving for my car and the ability to drive all over downtown Los Gatos. Look at all those beautiful parking spots!

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

Another casualty of Mayor Lurie’s last-minute micromanagement in adding a left turn phase to Valencia at 17th, 21st and 23rd: The signals have lost their leading pedestrian intervals, which protected bikes/peds by giving them 3-7sec to go before cars.

California can't afford to *not* build High Speed Rail. CA High Speed Rail will save the state $100 billion on airport and highway investments - not including the steep economic costs of air pollution and climate change. #FundHSR

I asked ChatGPT for you, it says:
1. Expand and Improve Public Transit
2. Invest in Affordable Housing Near Job Centers
3. Enhance Remote Work Infrastructure
4. Build Transportation Hubs and Multimodal Connections
5. Congestion Pricing and Road Use Reform
Damn, that’s pretty much what I thought.

California has more super commuters than any other state, with over 300,000 people spending at least 3 hours a day on the road.
By using GenAI to pinpoint the worst traffic bottlenecks, we hope to find real solutions and make these commutes faster and easier.

Apparently, one needs "GenAI" to learn about induced demand, taxes, tolls, public transportation, and building housing near where people actually work.
This is con artistry.
