I agree that we cant get rid of ground level motorized vehicles entirel, but a lot can be done to technology nowadays wise to make them pedestrian save.

Traffic lights save lives but i think our lack of vision and will to find a better alternative for having a house wide lethal zone between every row of houses is costing us our mental heath, safety and climate. Its not the lights perse that are a problem but our entire transportation philosophy thats a toxic mess.

In some places they create a geographic limitation to electronic steps so the speed limit is enforced within certain zones. Why they can do that for steps but not for cars beats me.

I dream of the day where i can just wak my child to school without endangerment (current the sidewalk, for the parts there is a sidewalk at all, is not big enough to fit a stroller or wheelchair.

It will take some tome still but i am hoping we can evolve to ai-air taxi will pick you up at a liften platform on the corner of the street and the idea that everyone needs to own their own vehicle and a space for it just dies like all the other non-sustainable habbits humanity has forged.
