When you connect a Waymo ride with a bus route, Waymo will pay your bus fare. Which is useful for two reasons: it helps them curry favor with city governments that might otherwise be wary of self-driving rideshares, and it gives them data about where to provide more cars to replace buses later.

Bicycles brought unprecedented freedom to many women, creating a change in restrictive clothing, independence of movement and were an iconic symbol of early feminism. #WomensArt

This portrayal of cyclists as some kind of woke menace to the common sense motorist will result in someone getting killed because a driver doesn't see why they should show even the minimum of consideration. The situation is bad enough as it is. I'm not even a cyclist and I can see that.
