Not to say that they’re somehow clean, more so that the energy demand is insane enough to warrant considerations like this

I don’t have a source for numbers, but I’ve read a handful headlines about tech companies building nuclear reactors for their datacenters.

One of my most radical opinions is that all cars should be blackboxed and outfitted with sensors for said blackbox. If the car honks or brakes too sharply, the sensor data is recorded a time prior to and after the event, and a police report is filed. If you want to un-file the police report, or report it as some sort of triviality, this should be done on the website of the traffic police, and is not guaranteed. This way, insignificant events have an out, and repeat “trivial” offenders can be statistically correlated and be fined or have their license revoked.

Whether your insurance company should know these stats… IDK. I know this entire idea is very surveillance-state, which I don’t like. But I am really thoroughly bothered by how expensive, dangerous, and otherwise harmful motorism is to all of us.
