I'm so tired of how normalized it is for people to be terrible drivers.
It's gotta be in the single percent of drivers who do all of the following consistently:
No being on their phone, drive the speed limit, safe following distance, look both ways when turning for bikes and pedestrians?

The Metro E Line is shaping up to be the #1 transit route for cinephiles. You can go from The Main Cinema in Marcy-Holmes to the Lagoon in Uptown to the Mann Theatre at 50th & France to the AMC Southdale 16. That's pure magic right there.
The Twin Cities' newest bus rapid transit line launches this weekend, with the E Line running between Southdale Center in Edina and the University of Minnesota.
It's the third BRT line Metro Transit has launched this year.

The E Line will be the agency’s third such line to open this year.

Regardless of whether people are for or against AV's they aren't going away.
Once the safety of the technology is where it needs to be, and there's regulations that prevent speeding, I'll take an automated driver over a human driver everytime.

Transit planning often gets caught in the trap of how one line can maximize ridership instead of having a network approach.
Instead, we need to ask what kind of network would cause a 20-25% transit mode share across all trips in the urban core, and the first 3-4 ring suburbs

I've heard people talk about autonomous buses lately, but what about people who are disabled who use transit and aren't able to hook a wheelchair into the locks on their own.
They aren't going to be as smooth as a train.
Are they forced to use paratransit?

Whether it's an E-bike or not. I'd 100% prefer somebody driving this then a Truck, SUV or Car.

Everyone has a role, not everyone has to be in person at a raid
I'm steamed about it but, as circumspect as I can be, just going to say that parents should not be having conversations about the safest way to observe/protest ICE while your kids are present. You're asking for the safest way to stick a fork in an electrical outlet. Not possible! You can't do it!

An attempted abduction was stopped this morning by multiple people honking car horns, successfully warning the person and driving off the ICE agents.

This evening, a resident was kidnapped by agents with face coverings. They disguised themselves in masks and as Uber drivers. They even left kids abandoned inside a car in the freezing cold. 1/

Food delivery robots actively make sidewalks less accessible and are somehow allowed.
We should explore solutions like autonomous sidewalk plowing that increase accessibility!

Earlier today I referenced a document where the work was done in 2019. Someone at a workshop wanted autonomous sidewalk plows so pedestrians could have clear paths. It only sounds crazy bc we don’t value walking/rolling & the people who do it. The U has food delivery robots. Waymo is testing in Mpls
