re: #158 Anymouse 🌹

Wired has taken this topic on again given the release of a recent big study about soaring pedestrian fatalities. SUV’s are more likely to kill. 40 mph vs 30 mph is 5.5 times more likely to kill a pedestrian when struck. Crosswalks are too far apart on large boulevards, thus encouraging jaywalking. All of those things can be fixed for a lot less than automating the cars.

Those things don’t decouple the driver from situational awareness like automation does. Which gets to my objection.
