Hard to say what is scarier, this kinda shit or maybe having to park 1/2 a block further from your house than you want to.

This Tesla is stuck because it goes forward when set to reverse, and there’s no more space for it to go forward. Seems like a software bug. How are these cars allowed on the road? How are they allowed to “self drive”?

Tired of being yelled at by drivers for existing on the roadway. It’s been a while, but have had two incidents in the last week. One nice thing protected bike lanes so is that they provide car-free space so you can exist with less harassment

Lots of members of the community were at Strawberry Creek Park in Berkeley yesterday. Bike parking was over capacity, so we, like many others, parked on the grass. If the city builds more more bike lanes nearby, the Hidden Cafe is going to need to expand.

One of these vehicles carried a compound miter saw and seven 2x4's to the workplace after the school drop-off. The others are toys that rarely haul, tow or go off-road. #CargoBikes

Quick changes can quickly be made to deal with trucks already in the streets. Then longer-term solutions can be implemented to make our streets safer.

Notice how he doesn't even mention parking, despite the containers being located along the curb. Other mayors would talk about the tradeoffs and say, "Look, we know New Yorkers like their parking." Not Mamdani. He keeps the focus where it belongs: on cleaner streets.

On my ride home, I stopped at an intersection, and waited for a car to cross. I heard a weird noise, turned around, and smiled when I realized it was a barking dog in a car. The driver flipped me off when I looked again! I wasn’t even in the way!

FSD conditions drivers to accelerate when they approach a stop sign!?

electrek
According to the complaint, the car drove itself through the neighborhood under FSD until Butler pressed the accelerator approaching a stop sign, overriding the system's speed and carrying it through the intersection. This is not unusuals for people familiar with FSD. NHTSA has forced Tesla to make FSD do full stops. For people used to a 'California stop', this is a bit slow and many FSD users will press the accelerator to have the vehicle move forward quicker at a stop.

No one has ever died because they did not have a curbside parking spot. But countless people on bicycles have been killed because we value parking more than a protected bike lane.

The modern world in America is built for the “convenience” of motor vehicles. But the truth that people don’t want to hear is this: Cars ruin cities. Riley is dead, because drivers have the world catered to their every need while pedestrians, bikers, and public transit riders get the crumbs.
