The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? (www.fastcompany.com)

Just to be clear, I do think the obvious solution to terrible things like this is vastly expanded public transit so that people don't have to rely on cars to get everywhere, not overhyped technology and driving aids that are still only marginally better than a human driver. I just thought the article was interesting.

Educate yourself. You don’t have to be angry about it. And yes, all major cities had railroad and public transportation hubs before cars took over.

Sure they did, buddy. "Educate yourself" they say just like all those antivaxxers and COVID deniers do when they speak their nonsense. "All cities had public transportation" before automobiles existed.

Hilarious

You’re seriously attempting to argue with me about whether or not transportation existed before cars?
