Only works without mcdrive unfortunately

Well if you have to walk from the parking lot to the beach you’ll burn calories.

Thought it would be interesting to compare with EU, they published an article in 2023 (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?oldid=630784) with the following data. This graph uses a number per 1 million inhabitants so divide by 10 to compare it.

Wrote this comment in another post with this graph. In the worst country in Europe the number might be 3 times lower than the worst state.

In the Netherlands there is also a class-action lawsuit coming up, guess there is roughly the same amount of android users here. Maybe a bit more. Will be interesting to see how much lower that amount will be.

As others said, you’ll get by with just speaking English - if you’re serious think of what would matter aside from language: a life in Italy will be very different than a life in German, not only the weather but also the work culture. Also think of which countries ‘match’ your education, being somewhere with loads of jobs in your expertise will make things a lot easier. I’d advise anyone able to move from US to Europe to take a leap of faith - if it doesn’t work out and the US has by then returned to normal you can just move back and if it doesn’t work out and america didn’t return to normal you’ll likely be happy at least you got out before it got real bad.

You don’t even need rings, Barcalona converted regular blocks into what they call superblocks. Imagine the lines of tic-tac-toe (the inside lines of a 3x3 table) being converted to wide footpaths and bike lanes basically creating miniature ‘autoluwe zones’. Not necessarily by prohibiting cars entirely but making the those streets impractical for through traffic.

As a dutchie i’d like to add that autoluwe zones (if done properly) are very much worth copying to other cities!

ChatGPTs interpretation of this communities worst nightmare.

One good thing about the adoption of electric vehicles isn’t going very fast is that air pollution remains a good argument for making cities less car-friendly :)

Imagine it had to actually stop there lol

Meanwhile in Europe where MOIA is working with VW on an autonomous mini-van taxi, they first make the product work before releasing it:

Since the beginning of the year, MOIA has been testing the ID. Buzz AD in winter conditions in Oslo, Norway. Along with tests in Austin, Texas, USA, Munich, and Hamburg, these efforts expand the operational capabilities of our autonomous technology to perform in extreme climates.

We can design things perfectly well when it suits us.

If you can do the taj mahal you can do an intersection

off the bus in the middle is everything.

That’s what some people refer to as a bus stop.

Penalties for dangerous behaviour shouldn’t be a flat fee but be relatively to ones wealth.

I heard about a plan for a law on having designated places for vehicles charging (since they’re much less likely to catch fire when they’re turned off), with things like not below ground where fire dept. can’t reach them, not near staircases, not close to electrical facilities etc. Seems like common sense, but until we have such regulations this will happen again.

The graphic shows one thing

Literally the first line of my comment is “it doesn’t say anything on how much more than $1,000 is spent”.

Getting mad that

Not sure where you got the impression i’m mad about anything but ok.

It doesn’t say anything on how much more than $1,000 is spent. If in state a 2 out of 10 people spend $1,001 a year and the other 9 out of then $999 while in state b 1 out of 10 spends $2,000 a month and the other 9 out of 10 spend $999 then the stats show the are twice as many expensive in state a while in reality the only expensive cars are in state b

Ikr, how about telling you how much they weigh in stones. Like which stone lady?

The city’s parliament is to vote on proposals to severely restrict traffic in an area roughly the size of Brighton and Hove.

Brits also love their metric units /s

Will the cost of insurance and tax not outweigh the cost of a (monthly) ticket? And (especially older) cars must pass EU controls regularly for them to be road legal.

I have no clue on prices of tickets, taxes or insurance in Denmark. My point mainly being less cars on the road is better for everyone.
