Better road design and just having fewer cars would do a lot more than sensors.

mondoman712,

People would find some way to complain no matter what cars were chosen for the comparison, but the fact is cars have been getting bigger on average.

mondoman712,

👍 Well done. But we were talking about the cars in the picture.

mondoman712,

👏 Good job. Can you tell me what else is in the picture?

mondoman712,

In the US, but worldwide car companies push consumers towards larger vehicles because they are more profitable.

As a brit I don’t see this being enforced in the UK. The gov would be too scared that trump or an ally would come to power and we can’t risk effecting the special welationship 👉👈

The video app, owned by a Chinese company, said it would let federal officials pick its U.S. operation’s board of directors, would give the government veto power over each new hire and would pay an American company that contracts with the Defense Department to monitor its source code, according to a copy of the company’s proposal. It even offered to give federal officials a kill switch that would shut the app down in the United States if they felt it remained a threat.

mondoman712,

Car companies want you to buy these larger, more profitable cars. They advertise them much more heavily and push you away from anything smaller.

mondoman712,

IIRC they changed the way they calculate the scores a few years ago, which generally increased the numbers you saw.

mondoman712,

Yeah way before. I had a bit of a look through some announcements and couldn’t find it so I can’t say exactly when.

mondoman712,

Government owned infrastructure is common outside North America.

Autonomous trains work in sealed environments (e.g. a metro tunnel) and make sense when you’re running trains every few minutes or less (e.g. a metro system). For freight the ideas are thrown around to scare workers into agreeing to worse terms under the threat of losing their jobs to automation.

You linked to my post which is just a cross post from this community?

mondoman712,

I’m sorry about your friend but ebikes are so much safer than cars.

mondoman712,

Because I guess pedaling is too hard for people that live in one of the flattest cities in the world.

Some people, yeah. They might have a longer distance to ride, they might have disability, or just not be that fit. There’s no problem with that.

mondoman712,

New York’s public transport is heavily focused on getting people in and out of Manhattan. If you’re going between the other boroughs it can be very lacking. A bike can save you a lot of time in certain cases.

If you’re not fit, an ebike is a great way to get started because it allows you to start cycling for your commute before you’re at the fitness level needed.

mondoman712,

You could just delete your comment when you realise it isn’t actually relevant, instead of just throwing the edit on at the end.

mondoman712,

God forbid people want to make their city better.

mondoman712,

Momentum is the biggest factor in the severity of the crash, and an ebike is never going to have as much momentum as a car. Severe incidents can happen with bikes and they should be sensibly regulated, but it is far less common than crashes involving cars.

mondoman712,

The term ebike generally refers to a bike with pedal assist, not an electric motorcycle. Pedal assist means you are still exercising and you can set the level of assist you want.

mondoman712,

Again, you’re talking about something different. I’m talking about electric pedal assist bicycles (often called an ebike), not electric mopeds.

mondoman712,

IMO if you’re riding a bike, even if it has pedal assist, you’re not lazy.

But even if that is the case, what’s wrong with that? Is it not better to have these “lazy” people on ebikes than in cars?
