Commuting from the suburbs to the city takes its toll. Let's build, sell, and drive narrow commuting vehicles to end traffic congestion.

Going as fast as a car with essentially no safety features is deeply, deeply stupid.

I get why people want to delete the IRS, but wouldn't it make much more sense to simply change their mandate? Make them focus on big fish only instead of nitpicking middle class tax returns. Force billionaires to pay their fair share.

That is bullshit. I worked for eleven years at the IRS. Now retired. The IRS investigates and disciplines its employees for tax infractions harsher than it does for the general public.

Because sidecars can't go through many bike infrastructures

One reason in the UK is A frame barriers, there a nightmare with just panniers let alone any other form of cycle

It is physical much more unstable, to wide for a lot of infrastructure, bike frames are not optimised for this, if you want a stable 3 wheeler, you need a low rider position for a low Center of gravity. This device even turn left while braking 😱

Does look awesome - adds width though. Wouldn't have got through the cycle path I took today

Follow any sort of transportation policy stuff and the algorithm will eventually drop this dude into your timeline…
Current car are very popular, but they cause massive congestion. The ratio of car width to available road width is the cause. Thin cars, lanes, and parking spaces will resolve congestion. #ThinMobility

I have a range extender on order to test. that brings range up to 470 in time people will realize how brilliant this architecture is. enabling vehicles to have extended capacity as needed rather than having the type of vehicle pre ordained from birth

The robotaxis will be a 2 seater for a number of important reasons: 1) Most importantly: it's cheaper to make and operate! 2) Vast majority of rides are with <= 2 people in the car. 3) Unlike with owned cars, a >2 people trip can easily be accomplised by booking >1 robotaxis. Overall, this is still much cheaper than the carrying cost (ownership) of a >2 people capacity car. Side note: Additionally, if parents can separate from their kids or each parent takes one kid into their robotaxi, this adds extra 'value' (peace) to parents. 4) 2 seaters are more space efficient on the road (less dead/unused volume) 5) Simpler design of 2 seater vs 4 seater accelerates time to market, reduces high volume capex need, accelerates ramp up. 6) The cheaper 2 seater unlocks greater availability at same investment amount (more 2 seaters can be made for the same cost than 4 seaters) and hence faster market penetration There is more but above covers the key points.

Amazon is a notorious efficiency machine. Profit is everything. So I wonder why they'd use gear like this. 🤔 xitter.cf/H_H_Gray/status/175233…

When I heard Greta Gerwig was directing, #Barbie became my most anticipated film of the year. Side-by-side comparison of the new Barbie trailer with 2001: A Space Odyssey. As Arthur C. Clarke didn't say: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Mattel.

I don’t use pot because my occupation requires drug testing. Glad for the pardons. I don’t have student debt but glad for the debt forgiveness. Too old to get pregnant but I’ll fight for a woman’s right to choose. Because it’s about the country. Not just me.
