Barriers to children's independent mobility, #Motonormativity, drivers who cannot avoid hitting kids with their cars. #SafeInfrastructure #SafeStreets4All #Places4People #Priority4LifeOverCars #AutomaticEmergencyBraking
Would #AutomaticEmergencyBraking have prevented the vehicle from hitting people after the driver lost consciousness? If so, the government and auto manufacturers are failing to protect Americans in the name of profit and power. 'There Are No Accidents'.
A person driving a #DangerousByDesign vehicle crashed into an restaurant full of people. Why are drivers going out of their way to crash into things? No agency assigned in headline by news agency. #AutomaticEmergencyBraking #SafeSystemsApproach #Bollards needed
Where are the crosswalks located? What is the speed limit on this road? What speed was the driver traveling? What is the condition of the vehicle's brakes? Have there been previous crashes in this location? Could #IntelligentSpeedAssist and #AutomaticEmergencyBraking have prevented the crash?
Preventive might work better than punitive, as the children might still be alive? #SafeSystemsApproach in overcoming #Motonormativity? The US and Canada should require vehicles be equipped with #AutomaticEmergencyBraking and #IntellligentSpeedAssist
More 'Kindermoord' in the USA today. We need change to happen at a faster pace. #AutomaticEmergencyBraking #IntelligentSpeedAssist #StopBuildingDangerousByDesignVehicles 'There Are No Accidents' @jessiesinger.bsky.social
Also, will this let lawmakers off the hook when it comes to requiring automakers to install #AutomaticEmergencyBraking and #IntelligentSpeedAssist in vehicles? Majority of drivers exceeding speed limit, not stopping at stop signs, and some running red lights, dangerous to people walking/biking.
To me it is all about where we emphasize priority, traffic enforcement, and education, are only a part of the solution. We need a #SafeSystemsApproach, prioritizing safe infrastructure design, #IntelligentSpeedAssist #AutomaticEmergencyBraking, safer vehicle design, and less VMT.
Yes, and why we need #IntelligentSpeedAssist #AutomaticEmergencyBraking on all new cars and trucks in North America. People driving in my suburban neighborhood just can't seem to drive at or under the 25 mph speed limit. My granddaughter points out the speeding drivers to me during our bike rides.
