it's absolutely incumbent on a cyclist riding through a shared space with pedestrians to yield to them and generally try to give as much space and move as slowly as is needed to ensure the safety and comfort of all involved but if a cyclist hits a goon who then comes to the anti-car thread to whine about it, this is completely and totally fine. retroactively justified. not a problem at all, and honestly mostly a good thing

The fact that detroit, one of the most car-brained cities in the US outside of LA is turning some of their ruins into parking garages isn't really remarkable. Plus while Detroit has some period buildings, if you care about that architecture just check out Chicago for many better examples most that are still used for their original purpose, and also somewhat less sprawling somehow.

A "city driving mode" with speed gov and automatic braking and all that would be neat if it came with a big rear end tax rebate, but cold dead hands and all that on basic rear end analog driving out here in the empty spaces that are most of the USA.

look a fat goon waddling down the sidewalk and getting hit by a bicycle is pretty much the same thing as a car driving half the speed limit! prove me wrong.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Techno-fetish Lib poo poo. Just ban cars from all incorporated cities of size >10000 Banning cars is the best idea. I like the idea of introducing permeable Barrie's onto city streets. So the street becomes a cult de sac to block cars, but you can walk and bike through the barrier no problem. How cheap is it to slap down some bollards and planters in the middle of the street? Didn't some American city already do this?

Honestly, I don't think I would have an issue with "glorified golf carts" be the standard transportation for people in local areas and cars only reserved for longer-distance trips (not to mention everything else). There are plenty of solutions out there, it is just the US will always be there to stop them.

Talking to a guy about this newly built neighborhood and he complained about the inadequate parking. His truck is too big for his garage, so he tried parking on the street in front of his house. His home is on a 3 way intersection, so he receives parking tickets and moans that he has to park his truck down the street. Just loving lol. He has a 2 car garage in a 400k home, but refuses to downsize his truck.

The idea of speed governors is about as old as cars themselves. People were advocating for that technology around the time of massive social/political change like prohibition and women's suffrage. If they couldn't do it then, I doubt we have much hope of it now.

lobster shirt posted:he has a two car garage, can he not just park in his driveway? Nope. Houses there don't have a driveway. Garage ends directly into an alley. I don't know about cars with speed governors, but there are plenty of cars in the US with remote shut offs. Auto lenders add them to cars.

is there any difference between normal gas, premium gas, and either of these across gas stations or is it just lifestyle marketing?

I don't know if there's an established standard for what octane is required for each, but if your car needs higher-octane gas, it does make a difference. Using higher-octane gas if your car doesn't need it is just more expensive and dumb.

thanks for the explanation. am I right to assume my housemates Corolla doesn’t need premium? I think that’s what they’re using. unfortunately (thankfully?) it got totaled 2 weeks ago so its kind of moot at this point.

But it is extremely car-brained to think one's basic rear end car deserves a treat like premium gas or something, and it's not uncommon

I’m glad I was right but disappointed at the waste of money, usually at chevron too which I gather is one of the more expensive places. I hate cars but there’s no way to bus to their job so a new car must be bought!!! drat

Good ep of the podcast tech won't save us on how tech won't save the transport industry. Nice little part on the push back cars got when they first encroached on the mixed use streets.
