One thing I don’t see too many folks talk about is that if it’s cheaper to have your self driving car circle the block than it is to park, then you might as well let your car keep driving while you’re at dinner or a show, or maybe even for a whole day at work!

"[Rivian CEO] Scaringe said he was 'very bullish' on his cars being self-driving in the next couple of years, such that 'you can own a car, but it can drop you at the airport, it can pick your kids up from school, it can go get things from the store for you.'"

Rivian's CEO said self-driving cars shouldn't just be able to drive, but also run errands for you like a secretary
CEO RJ Scaringe said he wants his AI-powered cars to be able to coordinate their own servicing, so their owners don't have to.

DDOT continues to publish before/after analyses of safety projects. The numbers for the 9th street NW bike lanes suggest that we should be doing these projects everywhere we can. Crashes plummeted, pedestrian and bike traffic skyrocketed, and vehicle travel times dropped.

Thanksgiving Miracle! Anyone but McDuffie.
Quite the pre-Thanksgiving news: Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term in office. That's a huge opening a mayoral race that still doesn't have any major candidates in it, but with possible entries from Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George and At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.

I've learned that cats really don't give AF about other cats because after our fire, our neighborhood cat that used to stay with us came right back inside after 1.5 years and left her new cat friend outside, since they are too scared to follow her in. Kinda funny to observe.

It's great that we're decking over this open car pit in Dupont, but the fact it costs $40 Million for this is such a scam. This US is set up so that even the most basic public goods are so inexplicably expensive that we hardly ever get any. Scam.

To give you a sense of the opportunity cost, $40 million would probably enough to convert most of the District’s 74 miles of painted bike lanes to protected lanes.
