actionjackson posted:I wish my city had the carsharing where you just park it anywhere, instead of only in fixed lots. we only have two companies here as well. there are three lots within about 1.5 miles, but they only have four cars total lol those used to exist and I loved them when I had to actually use a car but they all just evaporated over the pandemic.

the only solution to cars is to destroy them because roads and parking lots themselves are an environmental disaster hth

the funny part of EV and autonomous cars is that even if you make those two things work perfectly they're still a loving catastrophe for a bunch of other different reasons anyway.

my favorite intersections on bike are the ones with pressure plates that won't ever trigger if you're the only person there. they're perfect during off hours, you can either get off your bike and go hit the beg button on the sidewalk, run the red light, or sit there forever. anyway, the only mode of transportation that exists when designing traffic systems is cars.

Loucks posted:Yeah this is where a ton of anti bike bullshit comes from. Pedestrians are easily frightened because they have been conditioned to be scared of 2000 pound metal machines turning them into paste. I've had people get spooked just running by them because I'm quiet. Now I jingle my keys when I'm passing people like I'm a cat with a bell on my collar so the scared pedestrians know I'm coming.

Try living in a place with hills before you admonish ebikes. Take the batteries away and everyone is back in their car except for the people that cycle athletically.

Freeway driving is a high stakes fluid dynamics simulation and your goal is to not cause any turbulent flow.

Cugel the Clever posted:+1. Never got rear-ended or pulled over. Just set it and forget it (conditions allowing). The more people that take the approach, the more likely it'll be that others will follow suit. This is a great way to increase the risk to drivers far behind you by generating traffic waves. Not like you'll ever notice, though.

mawarannahr posted:every day it blows my mind that The crossover point for murdering instead of maiming pedestrians and cyclists is around 20mph. Which is why the universal speed limit for anything not on rails should be 20mph. Bicycles are allowed to go faster though, as a treat.

Cugel the Clever posted:If I'm maintaining a steady speed indefinitely, it's the other people who are causing the traffic waves If you - the particle - are moving at a lower velocity than the fluid - the traffic flow - you are generating a traffic wave. The fact that this is hard to grasp is why freeway driving is suicidal. You're also safer the less often there's someone in your blind spot or passing you in a different lane because you have another degree of freedom in the event that something unforeseen happens.

Cugel the Clever posted:Full enclosure, sound dampening, tinted windows, etc. all contribute to the driver's feeling of being alone, disconnected from the human beings around them to the extent that they're seen as obstacles to be overcome, at best, and deadly enemies, at worst. The amount of soundproofing in modern vehicles is loving wild. Truly an incredible feat of science.
