A Trump presidency means the feds won't be restraining car bloat. This NHTSA proposal looks doomed. The path for reform now goes through states and cities, where officials can impose fees on the heaviest cars, outlaw truck lifts, and give smaller cars preferential parking.
Finally, the Biden administration is taking a stand against car bloat. @NHTSAgov has proposed banning SUV & pickup hood designs that are especially likely to cause head injuries. In @FastCompany, I explained why this could be a watershed moment. 🧵 fastcompany.com/91195993/car…

Heavy traffic was reported near Nallurahalli metro station yesterday evening, with most commuters using cars due to last week’s heavy rains. The majority of vehicles had only one occupant, adding to the congestion. Even @nitin_gadkari has acknowledged the challenge of resolving Bengaluru’s traffic issues. One possible solution is promoting compact EVs like @wings_ev #Robin, which offer rain and sun protection for daily city commutes. State governments should consider increasing subsidies for such vehicles to help reduce traffic and promote sustainable transportation. @PMOIndia @MORTHIndia @CMOMaharashtra @CMofKarnataka @mieknathshinde @Dev_Fadnavis @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @mkstalin @revanth_anumula @ncbn @PawanKalyan #nammaametro #Bengaluru #IT

In the 00's, a car company made this commercial that accidentally exposed how much space is wasted by car-centric road design. What’s crazy: The most unrealistic part of this video is how it shows *too many people* — because the average car on the road has just 1.5 people in it.

this might help explain the sole cause of exponential traffic congestion worldwide. 1970 - 200 million cars worldwide 1990 - 500 million cars worldwide 2023 - 1.47 billion cars worldwide Like night follows day someone will comment soon it's all because of cycle lanes

I believe this from @GovKathyHochul. Via informal survey at a local diner, I found all suburban Chicago customers preferred shared short narrow track vehicles with lane & parking space privileges over $2.3 billion suburban bus rapid transit. #ThinMobility #CongestionPricing
Replying to @ChristRobbins
Here's the full diner exchange at the end of the press conference, rush transcript from me

Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. This is very recent. It wasn’t magic. It just took a clear vision, and real leadership. Your city could choose leadership too. Great pic via @JBPssx

General Motors is reversing its decision to kill the Chevy Bolt, the company's smallest and most affordable EV. This is excellent news. ft.com/content/fd367bd6-a73a…

"SUVs are more popular than ever, but do drivers need all that extra space?" I bet I know the answer to this one cbc.ca/news/science/suv-surv…

For decades, US environmental groups have pushed to make cars less polluting, rather than reduce driving. At long last, that is starting to change. A 🧵 about my new story in @Slate slate.com/technology/2023/03…

"Why is it that the world is moving toward heavier cars at a time when it should be doing precisely the reverse? Probably the reasons are complex, but a big one is that carmakers like it this way." newyorker.com/news/daily-com…
