Nice little advert slide-in towards the end there
It’s so amazing that we don’t see more accidents, for many reasons. We need to engineer our way out of talking to each other to preserve safety though. And also why the hell are we giving just anyone a drivers license while we’re at it.
Communication is a fantastic way to encourage safety. Wut?
Because years ago, Henry Ford and the oil industry convinced Congress to make cars the method of travel across the US. VERY few places can be traveled without a car.
And it fucking sucks, Hell I've been fortunate enough to have a vehicle that doesn't break down of as of late. It's funny how different people will treat you, my 2 year old car was in the dealership while I spent a week walking around a distant city. Like no I really can choose to walk. I could rent a car, again I have a week off work, but simply walking down the street leads to potential harassment from police and civilians alike.
