Because it sounds very much as if she gutter passed the truck or pulled along side it in the gutter. Sadly Illinois made that legal last year so it is no longer a violation. It’s still retains all the danger it always had however.

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…

Either back off from what you wrote or stand by it. Don’t go about blathering insulting language in my direction to cover your missteps. The simple fact is that you quite clearly expressed an opinion of preferring being managed over being free because of the costs of freedom.

So you choose to remain ignorant. That’s your choice.

If they used miles traveled they used the wrong measure. It’s hours of exposure that is more relevant and bicycling is very safe by that measure. Even for Divvy riders who usually don’t know what the hell they’re doing. It does not surprise me in the least that this first fatality.

It does not surprise me you cannot understand analogy. You want to be safe and managed. Many of us do not consider a small increase in physical safety worth being managed.

How do you plan on stopping me from driving my cars if you don’t get government involved?

Your ignorance doesn’t make me a member of the “tinfoil hat brigade”. If you wish to ignore that people are using the political process to end driving by regular people that is your choice. If you think everything political has to be a plank of a major party that is your incorrect perception. If you think the…

You were quite clearly making an objection to freedom based on that cost. The ending comment about guns makes it very clear.

You seem to think a zoo will be a fine place to live. I do not. I don’t like zookeepers. If you think the government granted you anti-lock brakes and the rest you are also very mistaken.

My…

No, you were not discussing TM engineers. You were discussing ending human driving to save 30,000 lives a year. This requires political action and force of government to achieve.

This is what I replied to: SEN-1138

You can trust your political leaders. They have your best interests at heart and will not abuse the power that automated systems will give them.

When someone uses the political process to foist their idea of utopia on to everyone else it is political. How is there going to be a “ban” on humans driving without political action to bring it about? The public way will have to be denied to anyone who drives their own vehicle. That will over turn thousands of years…

“beat” how?
The AI will follow a strict protocol that will mimic the utterings of people like Ralph Nader, Joan Claybrook, and their successors. Easy to out perform on a performance basis, but agonizing to actually stay with in the AI restrictions. Think of the cars in “demolition man”, perhaps even worse.

A zoo is very safe place for animals but no matter how nice, large, or open it is, it’s still a zoo. It’s still a place where one’s life is overseen, managed, and controlled. What is automated (to a certain extent) will ultimately be controlled by someone not you. Not only because it has to be (at minimum by those…

There are many more like her and they not only write but are politically active. Unlike their echo-chamber like websites where strong and knowledgeable commenters get banned I prefer she get to stay here and demonstrate the anti-driving agenda. Her articles here are usually tempered to avoid awakening the rubes but…

“No, the thing I want to ban remains the same: Humans driving.”

Conspiracy? Did I mention one? Nope. Not that stops you. The simple fact is that political and legal consequences are selective and Musk isn’t going to be selected.

I agree with the points made, but there won’t be legislation because of TM’s failings. TM is a darling. TM won’t suffer any consequences because of it’s marketing mismatches. That’s what I am discussing, the fact that TM won’t likely suffer the media’s and government’s wrath. I agree with the assessment of their…

You put forth the argument that since it is illegal and punishable reporting it and having the person punished is legitimate. That’s not the reason you reported him (because that covers a vast amount of behaviors as I illustrated in response) and neither is the what if’s about how many more he may have had prior. If I…

Lot’s of things are technically illegal and punishable. The only thing keeping anyone out of jail or prison is nobody willing and able to put them there. The bicyclist I encountered this morning made at least three four violations that could get him killed. If I follow your rule I should have gone the block out of my…

That explains a lot then. He’s hiring people who don’t have the experience and they are learning as they go along. That quote has it all make sense.

On the other hand it’s not like these things aren’t done in many other industries. So maybe he’s not even hiring people with an interest in automobiles. A car guy from…
