"7 Driverless Vehicle Stocks That Could Set You Up for Life" reports @DanielMillerTMF writing for The Motley Fool: aol.com/articles/7-dri…. I'm no stock picker, but these recommendations look reasonable as investments for "the end of driving" that is a likely future scenario.

This point is covered in my forthcoming book The End of Driving, available worldwide via Amazon: amazon.com/End-Driving-Tr… Co-authored with @AndrewMillerYYZ and @BernGrush .

@humantransit @Uber But the fare for a private robotaxi ride in multi-passenger microtransit shuttle service could be kept low by government-set subsidy funding. @Waymo could accept govt funding to provide low cost public microtransit in defined circumstances. @Uber and @lyft have already done so.

Good news! "Waymo approved to start autonomous vehicle testing in New York City" techcrunch.com/2025/08/22/way… This @techcrunch headline substitutes a misleading, commonly used, strong word "autonomous" for "automated." The connotation of "autonomous" applied to machines creates fear.

Parents need to train their children to understand the nasty reality you describe, and to behave when crossing streets in a self-protective, highly aware stance. Same when walking in car parking lots. Oh, and walking on ped-bike paths shared with fast, quiet, electric bikes.
Peter Norton@PeterNorton12

A pedestrian may press the button to make the beacons flash, and cross within a well marked crosswalk in broad daylight, in a place where pedestrian traffic is high. And an aggressive motorist may run her down anyway.

📍 I'm in Detroit! What better way to explore the city than being chauffeured by @wayve_ai. We drove through Motor City around Detroit’s landmarks — of course including Lafayette Coney Island 🌭

If enough people in a country were to agree that reducing carbon emissions into the global air shed is critically important, would a sinking cap on emissions from motor vehicle fleets be reasonable public policy? Join the global discussion July 23: eventbrite.com/e/ri-conversat…
