Give the inventor of modern digital lootboxes and the "license don't own" paradigm the opportunity to put a chip in my brain? Pass

Here's a link directly to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frGoalySCns

Now here's a fun experiment: start from the beginning, and pause as soon as you think the car is about to do something dangerous. That's your correction time - I was probably front wheels off the road before I paused.

Except for "visitors to the zone", they literally only measured the things that could be positive. There was no world where congestion pricing was going to increase number of cars. Actually yellow taxis are up, which they portrayed as "green" but I think most people would argue is actually "red" - i.e. we want to lower the number of taxis (and rideshare).

The controversial questions: restaurants/businesses, effect on low-income commuters, are all in the "Too soon to say" category. They're not even measuring the all-encompassing commute-time question which is "average commute time for all commuters", not "average commute time for X category". It's entirely possible that commute times for both cars and transit could go down while the commute time for an average person goes up because more people are being pushed to longer-time commutes.

Also no control group to determine whether this was due to bike lanes like the post title claims

Keep seeing this picture but no control group. Give me the same data for a French city other than Paris to understand whether this is about local policy change or about emissions standards and the move to electric cars.

Because they don't pay any of their actual workforce: the game devs they steal 30% from for every game sold.
