Apparently “opportunity for continued improvement in these highly dynamic social interactions between man and machine” = #Waymo code for "Yep, AI can learn to break the law". Good luck, people wanting to cross the street. This also spikes the ableist "make eye contact" advice. wapo.st/3ZZDifm (gift link)

In Houston for AASHTO Safety Summit opening today.
From the head of TxDOT: Nov. 7, 2000, was the last day in Texas on which no one died in a crash on Texas roads. 80M VMT/year means their crash rates are 30% below average, which reminds me that rates aren't a great measure.

Speed limiters on vehicles could save thousands of lives every year. Would you accept one on your vehicle? I would.

I know how to have a good time on a rainy Sunday: Put on a warm robe, curl up by the fire, and edit an early draft of the state highway safety plan.
Wait, am I doing weekends wrong AGAIN?

Study by Justin Tyndall:
• Combine US pedestrian crash data with physical measurements of vehicle height.• The effect of front-end vehicle height on pedestrian death probability is estimated.
• A 10 cm increase in front-end height causes a 22% increase in pedestrian fatality risk.
• The survival probability of women, children, and seniors are more strongly affected.

So far this year, 23 days in, Michigan's infrastructure has killed 46 people; that's two (2) people every day.
This is a policy choice. #VisionZero #TowardZeroDeaths #Michigan -

Auto ads sell a mythical world of open roads and all the speed the vehicle can produce. But we don't allow cigarette ads any more because we know smoking causes cancer. We know speed causes death on impact. Is it (past) time to regulate auto ads?

Truck bloat and mega-vehicles are killing people:

Some of these refer to the NCAP update that already happened but it did NOT fix the problems with vehicle design regulation.
