I am sorry about your grandmother. Agreed all around on self-driving cars. Ive sparred with so many urbanists recently who are vehemently against them. They often get really nasty in their derision too. Need these kind of personal narratives.

Great post. Saving grandmas (and grandpas) is huge with these self-driving cars—not just by avoiding older pedestrians being hit but also by getting older people who aren’t save drivers anymore out of cars without condemning them to be stuck at home in areas without good public transport.

I love Waymo—took three rides in a day a week ago while in SF. So much safer and more comfortable than a human-driven ride share!
