[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scooters should be mandated to have collision avoidance/automatic braking. [/quote] Cars, too. In fact, let's start with cars. And speed governors, while we're at it.[/quote] Scooters are replaced every three months (they don’t last long), and a city can probably strong arm a scooter rental company but not car manufacturers. Different scope of problem. Also, a scooter stopping suddenly on sidewalk or bike lane not likely an issue; a car stopping suddenly on freeway would be disaster. So cars require more mature logic, which isn’t there yet. [/quote] Number of people in the US killed by cars: 40,000 per year. Number of people in the US killed by scooters: 0. If you're worried about safety, start by regulating cars. Also, speed governors for motor vehicles already exist. Why not require them? The EU does.[/quote]
