Of Course You Can't Bike to Work - Lemmy.world

Another great piece from Jalopnik.

I’m about five mikes from my work with OK bike infrastructure to get there. My problem is every dickhead rolling coal on a lifted F350 seems to think I’m worth 500 points. Until they either protect the biking infrastructure or hit these people with massive vehicles some real pentalities for driving like idiots, I’ll have to keep using my car for safety.
i wonder if the self-driving cars will make bicycling safer or more dangerous? the recent shrug and pray approaches to the software aren’t reassuring enough
Given the fact they are still running over pedestrians, I wouldnt hold a lot of hope.

Physically separate bike paths (like not connected to roads. A.k.a multiuse paths) and bike first intersections are going to be the safest way forward.

Self-driving cars can be safer in some ways, but not always.

Self-Driving Cars Won’t Save Us Anytime Soon

Autonomous vehicles were supposed to make our streets less dangerous. That’s just not happening.
