Though it'll cost to create those lanes, it'll make the roads safer, many people with autonomous vehicles do not pay much attention while the car is self driving, which is where most self driving crashes happen

 @B8ZZ2MQ from Pennsylvania  agreed…6mos6MO

Establishing special lanes for autonomous vehicles can increase more focus and support for these vehicles. Some statistics from the University of Michigan states that Teslas have driven 3B mi in Autopilot since 2014, reporting 85% less accidents than the U.S. human driver average, with eco-driving, intersection connectivity, and faster highways, energy use and GHG emissions can reduce by 9%, 94% of crashes are due to human error. AVs have the potential to eliminate human error and decrease deaths, compared to the average human driver, Waymo had 88% fewer serious injury crashes and 93% fewer involving pedestrians. AVs crash reduction potential could save $190B/yr.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
