I hear they are a solution to the problem of increasing mileage/efficiency. I am no fan of Tesla, but we have to admit, there is some merit to that argument, however debatable the efficiency benefits are.
That's not to say safety isn't a serious issue. The biggest problem is the reliance on electronics. Now if someone can reinvent the design with a highly reliable mechanical system, with multiple redundancy.
Define "never". Never in as in never in the history of 21st century America? Pretty tame assertion. Never in the anthropological sense? That would be completely farcical.
Looks like she is standing in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_des_Arts. So that is likely some kind of street art.

Such nihilism.

Here's the thing. Y'all sitting around waiting for the institutions to do their job. Y'all waiting for the institutions to do the right thing. But y'all institutions have been corrupted, so they ain't gonna do anything. It's up to you, the people to clean up house now, by sending a strong message. And it doesn't take that much to take action. There is incredible power in the people and in collective action. But for now it is locked away in tepid comfort. That comfort won't last though. It never does under tyranny.
