  1. 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)

  6. Boost/discuss for people who think vehicle tech will take care of safety for them. Kea Wilson's takeaways:
    -Systems aren't trained to recognize people who use wheelchairs, other assistive devices, bikes, scooters or motorcycles
    -The deadline for compliance got bumped back from 3 to 5 years
    -They don't have to be able to stop for pedestrians above 45 mph

  7. "Vehicles with advanced driving assist systems that automatically steer, accelerate and brake are popular, but associated with increased driver distraction. This distraction coupled with unreliable autonomous system performance leads to vehicles that may be at higher risk for striking pedestrians."

  12. I read something recently that threw in a concern about battery fires from e-foot scooters citing one article. Then I read this today about 1.84 million vehicles being recalled due to risk of battery fire wapo.st/3FIHQxe (gift link to WaPo article). Not to diminish any fire, but maybe this suggests instituting a sense of proportion around modes and fires.

  13. @yunchtime "if split-second of distraction for human operators isn't bad enough, what about the programmed assumptions of an unfeeling machine at high speeds?" <- Brilliant. #DriverNotCar #CarCulture #driving #AV #TranspoTech #technology #auto

  14. This very long piece by Joe Lindsey on the false promises of "self-driving" (they're not!) cars is so good. bicycling.com/culture/a4211100

    “Every day we think autonomous cars will yield a future of safe car dependency, we divert essential attention and resources from the things that can actually help right now.” -Peter Norton, author of Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving.
