Much like Tesla’s half-baked and severely misrepresented self-driving technologies, it seems pretty clear we’re going to let the corpses pile up first, then maybe figure out policy solutions down the road a decade after the fact. Surely that will work out great for everybody involved. Especially cyclists and pedestrians already traversing overtly hostile transit design on the daily.
Garbage article. Completely manufactured conclusions on the article’s author not even supported by they “supporting” links. I read 3 of the “supporting” are articles and one is straight up an opinion piece, and the other supposed sources contradict the techdirt article suggesting EVs are getting singled out. Its the opposite, heavy vehicles in general, and EVs are actually getting a pass in some cases. In one case the author claims EVs are getting extra scrutiny and the very next line shows that its nothing specifically about EVs, but all heavy vehicles regardless of how they’re powered.
Don’t waste your time on this one.
