How Autonomous Shuttles Impact People of All Abilities
Upon slight further consideration, RantWoman cannot resist commenting on the vehicle pictured.
--RantWoman loves a vehicle that looks like it could easily accommodate a wheelchair or stroller, but RantWoman would love to know more about internal configuration and options for tying down a mobility device or shopping cart.
--RantWoman loves the idea of a vehicle with lots of window space. RantWoman is not sure how much she would love the reality while traveling around Seattle during a rainstorm.
--The no front hood and no rear trunk is slick and elegant. RantWoman oddly would feel more secure in the event of a collision if there were spaces front and back to store luggage, shopping bags, large musical instruments, sports equipment and all the other things people carry around in their cars.
--RantWoman only occasionally rides around in regular cars as opposed to occasional rides in friends' SUV's or the bus, vehicles with legroom.
RantWoman admits to feeling a little spoiled: RantWoman is well aware of reasons not to prefer SUV's including vehicle size and hazard to pedestrians in the event of a collision.
More of the time RantWoman rides around on buses, also known as the largest passenger vehicles on the road, with the windows well above the level of all the dizzying car traffic. RantWoman has enough vision to find the flow of cars at eye level just unnerving in heavy traffic.
In any case, RantWoman owes the world a "We've come a long way baby" post about a recent event atthe Taskar Center. Stay tuned.
