Hard for me to see how AVs won’t lead to a much wider backlash. Pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers can communicate with human drivers but AVs can only report people for not giving them the right-of-way. Most people likely won’t unless forced to, so leads to surveillance state with every AV as a robo cop. 🤔

I would much rather bike next to an AV than a human driver. People from A16Z begging cities not to build public transit bc of AVs are doing themselves a disservice though. An AV is still a car, and cars take up way too much space in cities. Ideal city has 90% of trips on transit or bikes, AVs can take the rest.

@survey should we be moving cars out of cities?

this is also why “environmentalists” generally oppose nuclear if they were outcome-oriented rather than signaling-oriented they would be builders rather than activists

We didn't quite catch the name of the disease related to bicycle accidents - it will be very interesting to see what medication will be recommended for prevention of such...

i mean sure there are safety concerns from AV but there also are from human drivers - that are way worse (ex. drunk driving) that logic is pretty dumb to me imo

I‘m pretty sure the cyclists have a legit point here (as they always have in these cases) because one small error will cost them there life
