It’s Electric! has been in heavy discussions lately about Personal Electric Transportation and the policies that govern them. In this week’s episode, Afeez is joined by Terenig Topjian to talk about how the laws being considered makes sense, how they don’t, and how they could be improved upon. He also stresses the importance of basing policy on actually data, and why using existing bike laws as a precedent may not be such a bad idea.
“Are we applying car logic to this problem?”
“When you pass a law, it’s usually because there is a problem and you want to address it”
“Why are we comparing these things to cars? We should be comparing them to bicycles”
“Speed is what dictates safety and danger”
“Mobility should be a human right”
