These folks are awesome, and they’re on Mastodon!
I read the article but I’m still not completely sure what the protestors’ objective is. They don’t like cameras and think cars are bad?
Sure you read the article? Maybe you disagree with their objections, but the article lays them out:
A video from the group that has gained almost 5 million views on Twitter points out that AVs block buses, emergency vehicles, and everyday traffic. It also claims that they’re partnering with police to record everyone all the time without anyone’s consent. And, most importantly, they require streets designed for cars, not people or transit.
You’re right, I had glossed over that part. The first point seems like an issue, the second and third just seem like normal life in the US. Most roads here are made for cars, and people should already expect that if you’re in public you can or will be recorded, as recording in public is a first amendment right, and everyone already has a camera in their pocket.
Skyrim moment, right there.
Aww, unicorn
