@riastradh *I* got it from below video (I forgot to note the timecode, but it's well worth a watch anyway)

Perhaps @notjustbikes can chime in on where they got the number from.

oh wow, that was a slighty depressing doom future lookout. I was not ready for that.
As they say: "history tends to repeat itself"

I also noticed that how the busy bike intersection in Utrecht works, looked quite similar to the autonomous car simulation from Texas.

interesting, depressing, but not sure I am convinced of the reasoning.

In this dystopian future you can go fast through cities… but why would you want to do that? You go to a city, its shops, its cafes.

So the AV needs to let its passengers out, needs to slow down and park, get to the other side of the fence… mixed traffic entails.

Once people step out of the AV they need to put on the tracker so AV’s can spot them, impacting both users and non-users?

I live in West LA and we have Waymo's here. I bike almost everywhere in West LA and so i regularly interact with them

Lets just get it out of the way, they are already like 100x better than human drivers. Even if we kept cars and cities the same and replaced cars with Waymos, cities would instantly get 5-10x better for cyclists and pedestrians. I have LITERALLY never had a bad interaction with a Waymo on my bike or walking, they see EVERYWHERE and always drive perfectly safely

I always look forward to your take on these topics, and I usually find myself nodding along with just about everything you say.

One thing I was curious about, though: I noticed Tesla didn’t come up, even though their approach to autonomous driving is pretty unique, and many would say they’re ahead in certain areas. With their recent announcements about the Robotaxi and plans to green up city spaces, it feels like they’re making some moves that could impact the industry...?

I hope that we can use some of the lessons from 80 years ago because we know the tactics and results will be similar to what happened before. The fact that many people are now pushing back against cars is helpful, as are all the jokes about "we have autonomous cars, they're called buses".

Not saying it'll be easy, but at least we have past experience to draw on this time

Also, for the time being, you might want to avoid travelling to SF, LA and Phoenix.

I don't think Waymo will be too happy about this one...

I really appreciate it this video. I can see why you lavished or why it took many months to complete.

I like particularly whore advanced program to thwart the takeover. Since I live at Ground Zero in SF, and figure out a way to just say oh well we don’t need parking anymore. Just get rid of tons of car centric shit.

You might want to know and maybe the great highway measure to turn it into a pedestrian bicycle promenade did pass.

I doubt you had time to squeeze in some other points, one thing struck me that is goes along with all the pollution and noise that produce, is the normal expense this all represents, Because it doesn’t end the maintenance cost for roads, and if the cars are expected to drive faster and be heavier, somebody’s going to have to pay for it.

I don’t understand how city could continue function if they are uninhabitable.

Bravo!! 😃 This was an almost movie length “Not Just Bikes” video, expanding on and connecting lots of your ideas from previous videos. It even has dystopian CGI action sequences!

There’s so much to think about in here about what we should want from our future cities, and how we need to protect our cities from lobbying by autonomous vehicle companies. I hope it’s widely watched.
