i’m worried about the future of traffic calming devices if more cars are self-driving and just drive whatever speed limit the GIS database they happen to have says it can go. just because the city speed limit in seattle is 25 doesn’t mean you should go 25 down a tight residential street with barely one lane to move in.

i think we need to start pivoting cities toward traffic destruction devices

just tell GIS all roads are 2mph, every problem solved

traffic calming device: looney-tunes esque "tunnel painted into cliff" but it's a big cardboard sign screen printed with a generative adversarial network basilisk that makes autonomous vehicles crash into a concrete bollard

this makes me very curious how self-driving interacts with/misbehaves around traffic calming circles, particularly if changing direction of travel makes the sensors less able to see pedestrian traffic because I could imagine that's easily possible

iliana @iliana10/21/2022, 5:42 PM

human drivers can't seem to handle traffic calming circles and pedestrians at the same time so i don't have high hopes

cars should realy become part of the infrastructure... private ownership of cars was a good idea, but we should just pool them all and drive to and from work with whatever public car is currently available.

car theft? O_o what're they gonna do, go off-planet?

that's more fun than what they did round here for that which was speedbumps to the point of suspension-breaking to get rid of the late night zoomies

considering they're trying to push camera-only self-driving i wouldn't be surprised if you could do this
