No dude, there would still be cars for these use cases, come on. All we need is some protected bike lanes, maybe like 10% of the space allocated to cars.

I'm in the US so as as others pointed out it might be more of an issue here (due to higher vehicles - SUVs/trucks - taking over). As a side note, the crazy lights are bad for pedestrians as well: they're so bright you sometim

Meanwhile traffic crashes and pedestrian deaths are up because people driving (even during the day) can't resist speeding and looking at their phones. Also meanwhile, cars are getting super bright headlights that actually make it harde

Taking a step back: here, incidentally, they were trying to basically facilitate driving, which is not really in the interest of society / life on the planet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe the vaccine is actually a bad idea? I don't think s

Look up scientism. The whole point is we need to accept that no single method will give us this kind of visibility and understanding, and given that fact we should be more careful about certain things, especially things we just seem to keep

Our whole understanding and approach with regards to risks from industrial chemicals is so completely off... We keep churning out new compounds (~2000 every year??!) or new use cases for existing ones at insane scale or speed because "

On a semi-related note... News helicopters: why? How are they justified at this point? It's crazy to me that we're flying entire people on fragile, noisy, polluting machines over dense urban areas so the 7 people still watching TV

Likewise. At massive scale, conserving water by adding more artificial/industrial runoff doesn't seem like a good approach, at all. This version of the world is behind us.

City streets aren't highways. The white/blue lights are harsh on eyes, make things look bleak, and are actually not better for visibility.

Very much agree. Would be great to let neighborhoods or cities experiment with alternative zoning and planning policies, but sadly it seems every place is following the same templates. Some random pointers for those interested: http:/
