The safety promise of robotaxis is that they will replace private cars
The problem is if you replace a vehicle carrying an average of 1.2 people with one carrying an average of 0.55 people then you need to more than double your road capacity
A robotaxi future is a future without walkable cities

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Talking about perfect timing: Aventon launched an e-bike trade-in program last Friday. They are offering riders a $200 bonus when trading-in an e-bike, *including Rad Power Bikes*, toward a new Aventon. It appears that the trade-in credit might be able to be stacked with Black Friday deals as well

Elon is a bullshit artist but some people are letting negative polarization rewrite their brain to become against objectively good things that he has unfortunately branded himself as being associated with. Actually working self driving cars are obviously good and will likely save many lives.

A big hangup with AV companies in general is that we have existing technologies that are dramatically safer, better for the environment, and move more people at lower price points. It's frustrating to see investment in AVs at the expense of these, as that helps lock in car-centric infrastructure

Anyone can reverse an overdose, and we should all know how. Naloxone is a social intervention; while our public health systems are woefully inadequate, and the war on drugs continues unchecked, we can empower ourselves and one another to step up.

For example, ICE protests being held at BART stations or the bus boycotts.

This is a crisis throughout the East Bay - a woman was killed in a hit-and-run while crossing an Antioch street yesterday.
We need to rapidly transform our streets to slow cars and protect people.
