Humans should not be forced off pavements by delivery robots, but that's exactly what's happening. The people who pay the price are those with the least room to give it up.

Lionel Reid, 19, ploughed his BMW into a cyclist while under the influence of alcohol and then left the scene. Cannabis was also found in his system. The 50-year-old cyclist sustained serious head injuries. I am sure we all feel reassured that Reid’s punishment is an 18-week suspended sentence.

At some point a room full of people agreed there was no space on this carriageway for a cycle lane so they settled on this instead.

York Street car park in Manchester should be a public garden.

It is wild to think that most cities used to have extensive electric tram systems, capable of efficiently transporting people and producing zero emissions at street level. And they were persuaded it was a good idea to rip them out. Now cities are spending billions putting them back in.

(Important to say that many feel the area should be fully pedestrianised, which it probably should be. But this was quick, and a start.) BuT wHeRe WiLl I pArK? There are around ten car parks within a few hundred metres. Not to mention the Metro station…

Lisbon has finally decided to reallocate road space to favour pedestrians on the famous Rua Garrett. It’s much better. All it takes is a bit of paint and some bollards to start to get the life back into a street again.

This is obviously just a bit of engineering fun for a viral video, but can you believe there is someone who genuinely believes low occupancy vehicles in tunnels can “solve traffic”? His name is Elon Musk.

The American mind cannot comprehend a McDonald’s Drive Thru that explicitly welcomes bicycles and e-scooters. Meanwhile, in Spain: 🍔🚲🛴

If you think this is good for city transport, please watch this animated gif for seven minutes, 52 seconds. That is 179 cars at 2.64 seconds each, 473 seconds in total. You’ll have plenty of time to think about why the traffic has gotten so bad in your city.

If the ~100 people in the Uber x Wayve launch photo wanted to take a robotaxi, based on average occupancy, there would be 179 vehicles. At their usual braking distance at 20mph, the line would be around 4.2km long. Cities are about to get more congested for the benefit of tech companies.

Cars are, regrettably, the enemy of efficient public transport.

I really don’t understand why the Government is so eager to let private companies bring these to UK pavements.

Day 1 and already blocking bike lanes.
