Cars have basically been killing children for 120 years and no one seems to care.https://t.co/vWzkssuUo7
More children die from cars than gun deaths AFAICT.https://t.co/if3KcMVXGAWe call them 'accidents'. But hey, at least we have /progress/.
"unintentional injuries" according to this study exploring death rates in 1999 data figures.https://t.co/YPrN75eokR https://t.co/h8pEHyRCe7
These figures are largely american. But it's a global problem that impacts less affluent countries at an even higher rate. There is a huge equality problem here that no one really bats an eye to because it is so normalized.https://t.co/SnzSCUGcxc
I can't drive. I'd rather ride my bike or walk. But even then I am troubled by how inaccessible our roadways are.https://t.co/s3pMDqawlJ
I'm just seeding this thread for when someone eventually hits a child while driving a Tesla and the news media spreads it to get views.https://t.co/CgxiApxfiB
I wonder how many child accidents associated with cars aren't actually collision deaths, but leaving them in hot cars?https://t.co/sHuEXcxYP8
We have child safety locks on our cars so the child doesn't jump out while we are moving. We also have child safety lockson our cars so the child can't get out while it's stopped.All the better to sacrifice them to the fires of hell inside of a metal solar powered furnace.
It took 257 days for the FCC to give approval to allow someone to build a "don't kill your child in the back seat of the car" device.https://t.co/FIoA4xiJjh https://t.co/8ZwKAbSduL
about 50 heat related deaths occurred in 2018-2019 according to https://t.co/gvGPEp3QZN23% of them are from children getting into a car while parked and getting stuck and incapacitated.
Please remember that cars share a lineage with deadly machines we built for murder. https://t.co/FK2CTCTr3G

More murder machines please. /s"I can tell you SpaceX is moving very, very rapidly in this area. I’m really excited about the team that’s working with SpaceX."https://t.co/AtS5czcUpGhttps://t.co/vBUBAGC8Bz
In America, most of our roadways were built to mobilize tanks. This is true of most larger nations.https://t.co/bOhJtIiKM7You can't even get accurate road maps in china because they try to keep that information locked down for national security reasons.
You think Flight Simulator is censoring their playing environment for no reason?https://t.co/V59Chi1Fvb
When this shit turns up, it isn't just some gamer nerd being a dickwad and crying muh-censorship. While im sure they exist, you must realize this is literally about a history of war and geopolitics.https://t.co/VI50ifHMAx
The neat thing about autonomous tanks is that you can make them smol bois.https://t.co/0XtYfrxCbc https://t.co/dyYs6V8hK0
Don't talk to me or my son ever again.https://t.co/I2EcZW9Tw8 https://t.co/wdIYcLCp0c
Thinking about building my own eye-tracking tools to help fix my ability to drive.Spoke with a leading firm making research devices. Realized they all cost Thousands of dollars.Took me a few moments to realize why.https://t.co/dUcsXLDRYA
I dream of learning to drive a helicopter in VR.https://t.co/FBruRjGWUuEverything I dream about is tainted by this unspoken taint.
Of course we don't care about these murder machines killing children. They're part of our national defense strategy.We collectively ignore the elephant in the brain and lie to ourselves. Of course this is why we don't give a fuck about sacrificing our children to Moloch.
But put the wool over your eyes and go back to sleep. There is no wolf hunting you in the night who preys on children. I am a boy who cried wolf.https://t.co/V0x7VvRLHc

Having a bunch of satellites in LEO to remote control a bunch of mass producible remote controlled armored trucks. What could go wrong.https://t.co/9blIEiq1fVhttps://t.co/3ElhUqtFcg
@leashless A similar paradigm as VR drone pilots - disconnecting the job from the operator. Similar system employed by McDonalds to create a remote drive-thru offering, but added complexity of needing reliable cellular networks. AI as lag compensation?https://t.co/2LBFinrqLA

My favorite Cowboy Bebop song is "tank!"https://t.co/teQxSc9qCEMakes me think of tanker ships & giant water tanks used for steam engines.I think the original tanks was an armored sea vessel with a huge gun. So afaict technically these are all wrong:https://t.co/wzDHAy6dc0

So... instead of making safer cars and trucks, the plan is to make it so you have to walk around with a Bluetooth beacon to make the car know about your presence. https://t.co/sqRy3ZAhar
Stop killing children.https://t.co/oa0ZEBV8hj
We should make a law that requires every citizen to wear an RFID beacon so that autonomous cars don't run you over.Maybe we can store credentials in it too. That way our bands of automated drones don't accidentally target them for destruction. https://t.co/pa4xzuJaI8

What's that, your car manufacturer is fighting the right to repair because it would be bad if someone has access to the encryption keys that let you remotely disable someone's breaks?https://t.co/9jBK9tUwCT
"Manufacturers equip the vast majority of cars produced today with an inbuilt GPS tracking system.This system is for finding and monitoring the direction and location of a vehicle." https://t.co/MnzZ4z0Wtu
Car manufacturers installed GPS devices that can be used to track you; enables redlining, and even risks someone being able to monitor you remotely and potentially rape you. And you can't get the schematics or security keys to turn this off. GET THE FACTShttps://t.co/RbRpNRelCx
Do you trust car manufacturers to have access to this tracking data and remote control capabilities? It seems that hackers are actively trying to get that data.This is data that shouldn't exist to begin with. https://t.co/gy0AO9jel7
Guys, I don't think this is really about the right to repair. With these specious arguments, it would seem to me they want the right to track & trace, and even control your movement. https://t.co/TT9UtkWKgh
I mean, not like we live in a world where governments have a track record of committing crimes against humanity or anything.What's that? Suddenly everyone of [insert nation of origin] is not allowed to travel. Better disable cars. For safety, I'm sure.https://t.co/zbTuxOLaXB
