It's been a while since I cried while writing a story, but this one got me. But I almost didn't write it at all, for a few reasons I'll unpack here. 🧵

@JenniferHomendy Just started using Handup ColdER weather gloves this year. They work for me at temps around freezing. I add glove liners when it’s colder than that. https://t.co/dA0Pp8rfOa
@Kenmcld There are a few current and upcoming NCHRP projects that explore that topic. Look for the word “infrastructure” on this page: https://t.co/kigi4RfX24
@DavidZipper The draft bill regulating PDDs in NC included a provision preventing municipalities from banning them, but it was removed in the final version. The draft CO bill had similar text.
@DavidZipper In many (most?) states with existing PDD laws, that would mean amending current law to take existing authority away from municipalities. Many of the existing laws include text allowing them to regulate or ban sidewalk robots. Summary in Table 1: https://t.co/HDMZ9K9FRS
@Tweetermeyer@DavidZipper The authors of the NMVCCS had a specific definition for “human error” but unfortunately many who cite the 94% create their own, often incorrect, definitions. Another example is alcohol. Definitely a huge problem, but also not directly included in the 94%.
@Tweetermeyer@DavidZipper This point highlights the brittleness of the 94% figure. Seatbelts are never going to be a “critical event” that leads to a crash, which is what was characterized in the NMVCCS. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but it’s not that HE is overemphasized, it’s oversimplified.
@PhilKoopman@DavidZipper @SethLaJ307 It’s not like this is a new concept either. As Haight illustrated in his Traffic Safety Fable in 1973, if we were to remove the railings from a bridge, the increased numbers of cars driving off that bridge would be blamed on “driver error”.
"Seeking to find a single cause for a crash is a fundamentally flawed approach to road safety, but it underpins much of American traffic enforcement and crash prevention," @DavidZipper writes with insights from @SethLaJ307 and @PhilKoopman
