Sorry to get on the same soapbox again, but this guy sued the city in addition to the driver because the city can pay out the big bucks and the driver can't, and the reason the driver can't is that US insurance minima are too low.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

One of the biggest tells of how blatantly screwed up medicine's mishandling of chronic illnesses is comes from physicians who end up suffering from them pretty much all saying that it's nothing like what they were taught it's like and no one else in the profession is bothered by that.

That’s basically every ‘no’ vote on City of Yes, plus the votes got by nixing the specific eastern Queens R varieties from the ADU requirements … plus Manhattan. I’d suggest this has the makings of a very anti-building/pro-neighborhood-character Council. (Charter revisions look set to be a *bfd*)
