All trucks should be self-driving. I’m OK with that, as long as they don’t become robot assassins and there are other jobs for the truckers. The Smokey & the Bandit remake will be soooo lame though. Then again, it couldn’t be worse than S& TB III.

After spending way too much time reading her and her fellow travelers articles I am convinced that if they are successful in taking automobiles (or control there of) away from ordinary people they’ll go after bicycles. It’s just the undercurrent in their articles and how they only support bicycling so long as it makes…

Yes, “you people.” As in, “you people who enjoy mocking Alissa Walker’s opinion that cars should be automated at every opportunity.”

I like how you people are acting like it’s the cyclist’s fault and not the truck driver’s.

There were recent studies trying to find even one fatality on a bikeshare, because statistically there should have been more, if you compare to average bikes and miles traveled. So the question became: what are they doing right, that could be emulated with other bike riders to make bike riding safer overall? (though…

The perfect riposte to Alissa’s “this is proof all cars should be self-driving” faulty logic post about the Tesla crash. This of course means all bike shares or maybe all bikes should be banned. And books on tape, as to the Tesla crash, obviously.

Can someone explain how it is significant that she was on a bike-share bike vs her own bike?

In Australia, I occasionally rode 30km (20miles) each way to work.

This is why we need fully automated bikes. There are too many injuries and deaths due to people who are in control of bicycles. It’s dangerous to them and dangerous to others. No more humans in control of bikes.

We should go back to Model T’s. I think all that was bad was getting hit by that manual hand crank arm thing to start the motor if you weren’t careful.

Popping in and out of intersections from a sidewalk is arguably a riskier way to ride.

I know, right; this incident “proves” that we must fully automate bicycles. Now!

I love riding my electric bike, but I stay as far away from the street as I can for the same reason I gave up riding my motorcycle. Too friggin many people can’t keep their attention on driving.

Megatron is the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

Got his next project right here.

I think Nintendo might take a marketing note there, single shot palm titles, old school, new tech? I’d buy one.

I’m sick of food writers telling us lay people to do the palm test to guage the stage of cooking in meat. If you’re a trained chef or a line cook who grills steaks all day for a living that’s fine. But there’s nothing worse than ruining your friends $30 ribeye because you wanted to impress them with a cool trick you…
