Great line from current read "Inclusive Transportation" by Veronica O. Davis:

"if autonomous and electric vehicles do as they predict, all we will achieve is moving congestion more efficiently, with cleaner air."

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is seeking reelection but a story about him pointing a gun at a pregnant lady over a parking spot back in the 90s seems to be dogging him this year. Let's hope this finally dooms his political career 🙏🏿

www.kuow.org · Woman says she was 8 months pregnant when Seattle Mayor Harrell pulled gun on her, leading to his 1996 arrestRose Sanchez may not remember every detail of the encounter between her family and Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell from that late night in 1996. But there are details she told KUOW she’ll never forget, like when Harrell drove slowly past the group and pointed his silver pistol at them.

"I’m suddenly reminded that, for a while, I asked people, if they were playing Russian roulette with a gun with a billion barrels (or some huge number, so in other words, some low probability that they would actually be killed), how much would they have to be paid to play one round? A lot of people were almost offended by the question and they’d say, “I wouldn’t do it at any price.” But, of course, we do that every day. They drive to work in cars to earn money and they are taking risks all the time, but they don’t like to acknowledge that they are taking risks. They want to pretend that everything is risk-free."

Paul Bucheit, in "Founders at work" by Jessica Livingstone.

“If road deaths were a virus, we’d call it a pandemic. Safer transport helps us all – and we need it urgently”

“road crashes still claim more than two lives every minute – killing nearly 1.2 million people every year.”

And that number doesn’t include deaths from respiratory diseases and more caused by car pollution.
