AV’s with enough sensing are generally quite good at stopping quickly. It is usually the behavior prior to the critical encounter that has room for improvement.
The question will be whether 17 mph was a reasonably cautious speed for this specific scenario. Many school zones have 15 mph limits and when there are kids about people may go even slower. At the same time, the general rule in CA for school zone is 25 mph. Clearly the car had some level of caution which is good.

Working on curated YouTube for kids. Trying to make a place where my kids can watch the good stuff without getting sucked into all the mindless junk.
Also it’s been a fun excuse to try out Cursor and other AI tools I don’t normally use in my day job.
So, you need to have a youtube subscription to watch through selectube? As a parent, can't I just set more than 1 category and whitelist what goes through?
Yep. Not great data science, although the conclusion is likely true-ish.
Also I suspect big urban vs suburban vs rural differences in current EV buyers given range and charging factors. That happens to also mostly correlate to politics.
Many times, the best solutions are very simple. These often seem obvious in hindsight, but were at the time either non-obvious or dismissed prematurely.
>reducing friction helps drive more legitimate business.
A very real example in retail. I can minimize the possibility that I'll be hit with fraudulent returns. Require a receipt, short window, store credit only, must be in like new condition with all packaging, etc. (Or just sell everything on an all sales are final basis.) Different stores do many of these things to a greater or lesser degree on at least some merchandise. But you'd probably better be offering really good prices if you do.
> I guess this can all fit within a “marginal cost” explanation though.
Yes, but it undermines the first point, a bit. There's costs-- direct and social costs-- to making transactions hard; so perhaps optimal for a society is still not 0.
Also, there's nothing to say that the amount of fraud is stable and that we can't find a world where we have better mechanisms to reduce it for the same cost. (Improved technology, legal structures, norms, etc).
Oh, and I’d recommend chilling your reds in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes before drinking. I often find true room-temperature reds to be on the warm side. I had a particularly bad experience with a “room-temperature” wine at a restaurant in Turin that had been sitting in the 35C heat…
Wow, so many replies that boil down to “because typing is better, you should just type”.
This is fairly insulting as RSI’s are very much a real thing.
Does this community also think that wheelchair ramps should never be invested in because stairs are clearly superior?
I’d rather see the brain power in this community focused on solutions. Keyboard + mouse have lasted so long because they work surprisingly well, but I hope there is a day that we dream up something better that does not require slowly giving ourselves carpel tunnel.
+1 anecdotally I think it is often a combination of factors. And once you start looking/ exploring and realize you can get a comp adjustment, then that becomes an easily quantified motivator to pull the trigger.
