emerald @f12.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Driverless cars might make sense to me in a world where public transit was abundant & good, cyclists & pedestrians had ample safe space on streets, police weren’t closely colluding with tech companies, and former drivers were well supported in other jobs. Unfortunately, we don’t live in that world. 040

And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun. 168187504707
