Just to be clear, I do think the obvious solution to terrible things like this is vastly expanded public transit so that people don't have to rely on cars to get everywhere, not overhyped technology and driving aids that are still only marginally better than a human driver. I just thought the article was interesting.

And they missed some really low hanging, inexpensive solutions that would also work:

  • roundabouts
  • mass transit
  • physical barriers for bike lanes
  • zoning changes

Those are all old "technologies" that are proven to be effective and don't require giving car manufacturers an excuse to make cars even more expensive or retrofitting existing cars.
