@FatLegTed @DrCake When I went to driver’s ed, the instructors repeatedly reminded us that we had to be prepared to stop at any time because the driver in front of us could brake for a squirrel or encounter debris in the road or stop for any reason. Most drivers don’t seem to understand the basic physics that stopping distance increases with speed. A key feature of driver assistance systems should be speed-based tailgating prevention.
@jabathekek @Flax_vert “preserving acceptable facility operation” = continue killing & injuring the same number of people we currently are, or increasing it a bit since there will be more people driving on the expanded facility
