Lyft's incoming CEO in new @AarianMarshall Wired piece: the idea is to take “people who get introduced to Lyft through a bike ride and figure out a way to get them over to our rideshare side” #shameless

"...the systems, designed as a way of managing a small fleet of cars that included safety drivers, are not suited to a large fleet where drivers have been removed. Further scaling with current platform will potentially compound existing issues"

SF "want(s) companies to incrementally increase driverless service and prove that their cars are capable of operating without incident during peak morning and afternoon commute hours, before allowing them to charge for rides in the city’s dense and congested northeast quadrant"

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

San Francisco officials documented at least 92 incidents where Waymo, Cruise and other self-driving vehicles created mayhem on city streets. https://t.co/3vZgYkcwaU

NEW: In a blunt letter to California regulators, San Francisco officials outlined many, many ways in which Cruise’s robotaxis are making a mess of city streets.

It’s pretty wild. 🧵 below

CARB approves the 2022 #ScopingPlan shifting California away from #fossilfuels & towards #renewableenergy. The final plan cuts #airpollution by 71%, reduces #GHGs 85% & reaches #carbonneutrality by 2045.

Lessons of San Francisco's story:

1⃣ Without careful oversight, robotaxis can degrade city life, rather than enhance it.

2⃣ California needs to revise its outdated and insufficient AV regulations.

3⃣ Other states should avoid making CA's mistakes.

@Penalosa_G I get the point you’re trying to make, but excluding cdmx from your largest cities in north america seems like unforced (and damaging) error

The man is CEO of a car maker and founded another company to build tunnels for cars. Maybe not very objective.

Elon Musk at the @FT conference just now: “I have to say the this this notion of induced demand is one of the single dumbest notions I've ever heard in my entire life."

An illuminating piece on the micromobility industry, & the roots of key challenges in urban mobility today. I take it as a call to action to develop new business models (and regulations) that truly align public good and profitability.

@sergemont La pregunta es quien compra esas proclamaciones? Me parece que localmente no conectan e internacionalmente ni se escuchan.
