    A driver murdered him, not a sentient SUV.

      Then a murderous entitled driver in an SUV crushed him.

      Was the title edited? Cuz it clearly says ‘driver in an SUV’.

        Yes: I had to edit the title to add the driver part, because the deliberately minimizing and car-supremacist loaded language in the original title mentioned only the SUV and not the driver at all.

        But, point taken that I should’ve edited it even more.

      Probably not far from the latter and regardless, the widespread presence of these vehicles in cities makes everyone less safe no matter the intentions of the drivers.

    This was 100% murder how do you accidentally: drive in the bike lane over a curb, run over his foot, back up, then run over the rest of him, and drive away before police arrive. I hope they throw the book at the driver.

    For Americans, this is an example of a problem with 2nd amendment law. More and more people are choosing cars as their weapon, but US law has not caught up. We need to treat cars with the same respect as guns. Cars should not need registration, licensing, or insurance. Cars are armaments not transportation.
