Yeah, don't know if the Ducey/autonomous vehicle example really supports the thesis of criticizing "transportation" decisions motivated by FOMO. I think Ducey laying out the red carpet for autonomous vehicles had exactly nothing to do with transportation, and everything to do with Ducey seeing himself as an economic development governor creating a pro-business atmosphere and trying to attract high-profile companies to locate and operate here.
While not diminishing the tragedy for the people directly involved, it's also strange to me that the
one death caused by autonomous vehicles is used as an indictment of the technology. I don't think we're going to see CityLab railing against cycling because of the
two pedestrians killed in collisions with cyclists in 2015 in the UK.
EDIT: yeah, what
