Ebikes are "becoming one of the biggest public safety challenges facing our community. Not because e-bikes are inherently dangerous. It’s because too many riders are treating them like toys instead of vehicles. Public safety officials are advising juvenile riders and their parents to get caught up on the rules of the road, and to follow them whether on two wheels or four…. We don’t need to become known as the community that wrote the toughest ordinances. We should become known as the communities that created the safest riders.” https://sanbenito.com/editorial-creating-a-culture-of-e-bike-safety/ #ebikes #eMotorcycles #TrafficSafety #SanBenitoCounty #Hollister #MontereyBayRegion

US Top News and Analysis | Waymo recalls 3,800 robotaxis after glitch allowed some vehicles to 'drive into standing water' AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Waymo announced a voluntary recall of roughly 3,800 of its U.S. robotaxis after software glitches were found that could cause the vehicles to drive onto flooded roadways, a problem captured on video in Austin, Texas, where the cars either entered standing water or stalled during heavy rain. The recall targets Waymo’s fifth‑ and sixth‑generation automated‑driving systems, and the company says it has already implemented fixes and is adding further software safeguards that will limit robotaxi operation in extreme weather and steer them away from areas prone to flash flooding. This issue adds to recent safety criticisms of the Alphabet‑owned unit, including failures to yield to school buses in Austin and gridlock caused by robotaxis stopping during a San Francisco power outage. Waymo emphasized that safety remains its top priority as it continues to expand its fleet and market presence.

I work on #behaviourchange in #transport, #trafficsafety, #energyuse and #wateruse. I work with #engineers and #architects to create a #lowcarbon #builtenvironment that works for people. In looking at these topics I use the #psychology of #habits and #socialnorms and look at the influence of the #builtenvironment and #culture on people's everyday #behaviour
