Autonomous vehicles will vastly reduce fear for cyclists, scooter riders, and pedestrians. Scooters can benefit from this technology, too, to keep pedestrians and scooter riders safer. Some cities are already gas scooter-mobile, like Taipei. This even though Taipei is very rainy part of the year. Every office has pegs to hang the wet ponchos of scooter riders. Electrifying scooters will markedly improve the air because gas scooters have no smog controls. Scooters are also right-sized for electrification. Small and light enough that they get decent range at under $2000. Some much cheaper. Scooters can also cover a range of sizes and capacities. But cars need to become safer to riders and pedestrians for widespread adoption.
