But Tesla and Google are the earliest innovators, taking very different approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CEO Elon Musk's approach with Tesla is to roll out Autopilot (a sort of highly advanced cruise control) and other autonomous features like self-parking with software updates over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the company \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">underscored\u003c/a> this week in response to the deadly crash, Tesla drivers are required to explicitly acknowledge \"that the system is new technology and still in a public beta phase.\" In other words, Tesla's drivers are the beta testers of self-driving technology and assume the risk associated with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is from \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">Tesla's blog\u003c/a> in response to the fatal crash:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Autopilot is getting better all the time, but it is not perfect and still requires the driver to remain alert. Nonetheless, when used in conjunction with driver oversight, the data is unequivocal that Autopilot reduces driver workload and results in a statistically significant improvement in safety when compared to purely manual driving.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Google instead is focusing on creating a fully autonomous car, all at once, and isn't selling any of them. That means it's lagging behind Tesla on driven miles, but they don't involve regular drivers. (Tesla \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">says\u003c/a> Autopilot has been activated for more than 130 million miles, while Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/where/\" target=\"_blank\">website says\u003c/a> its self-driving cars have driven 1.5 million miles.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technologically, the approaches differ, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google relies on a highly expensive complex remote-sensing system called Lidar, which \u003ca href=\"http://9to5google.com/2015/10/16/elon-musk-says-that-the-lidar-google-uses-in-its-self-driving-car-doesnt-make-sense-in-a-car-context/\" target=\"_blank\">the website 9to5google.com explains\u003c/a> as an \"array on top of the vehicle, which — in simple terms — measures distance by pointing lasers at targets surrounding the car and analyzing the light that's reflected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk late last year suggested \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/73_Qjez1MbI?t=35m32s\" target=\"_blank\">in a press conference\u003c/a> that Lidar was a bit excessive for an automobile:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For full autonomy you'd obviously need 360-degree cameras, you'd need probably redundant forward cameras, you'd need redundant computing hardware, and then redundant motors and a steering rack. ... That said, I don't think you need Lidar. I think you can do this all with passive optical and then with maybe one forward radar.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tesla's Autopilot relies on a combination of \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/presskit/autopilot\" target=\"_blank\">cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors\u003c/a> and data automatically steer down the highway, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic,\" and uses auto braking technology by Israeli company Mobileye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/01/mobileye-tesla/\" target=\"_blank\">posted by TechCrunch\u003c/a>, a Mobileye executive said the emergency auto braking was \"designed specifically\" for rear-end collision avoidance, and not a lateral collision like the fatal case revealed this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla drivers, including the man killed in the deadly crash, have posted scores of videos of near-collisions involving Autopilot use.

Nonetheless, when used in conjunction with driver oversight, the data is unequivocal that Autopilot reduces driver workload and results in a statistically significant improvement in safety when compared to purely manual driving.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Google instead is focusing on creating a fully autonomous car, all at once, and isn't selling any of them. That means it's lagging behind Tesla on driven miles, but they don't involve regular drivers. (Tesla \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">says\u003c/a> Autopilot has been activated for more than 130 million miles, while Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/where/\" target=\"_blank\">website says\u003c/a> its self-driving cars have driven 1.5 million miles.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technologically, the approaches differ, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google relies on a highly expensive complex remote-sensing system called Lidar, which \u003ca href=\"http://9to5google.com/2015/10/16/elon-musk-says-that-the-lidar-google-uses-in-its-self-driving-car-doesnt-make-sense-in-a-car-context/\" target=\"_blank\">the website 9to5google.com explains\u003c/a> as an \"array on top of the vehicle, which — in simple terms — measures distance by pointing lasers at targets surrounding the car and analyzing the light that's reflected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk late last year suggested \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/73_Qjez1MbI?t=35m32s\" target=\"_blank\">in a press conference\u003c/a> that Lidar was a bit excessive for an automobile:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For full autonomy you'd obviously need 360-degree cameras, you'd need probably redundant forward cameras, you'd need redundant computing hardware, and then redundant motors and a steering rack. ... That said, I don't think you need Lidar. I think you can do this all with passive optical and then with maybe one forward radar.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tesla's Autopilot relies on a combination of \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/presskit/autopilot\" target=\"_blank\">cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors\u003c/a> and data automatically steer down the highway, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic,\" and uses auto braking technology by Israeli company Mobileye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/01/mobileye-tesla/\" target=\"_blank\">posted by TechCrunch\u003c/a>, a Mobileye executive said the emergency auto braking was \"designed specifically\" for rear-end collision avoidance, and not a lateral collision like the fatal case revealed this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla drivers, including the man killed in the deadly crash, have posted scores of videos of near-collisions involving Autopilot use. Several \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/05/26/tesla-autopilot-crash/\" target=\"_blank\">have blamed\u003c/a> the company for accidents that did occur, including 1) \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/model-s-on-autopilot-crashes-into-other-car-proving-yet-again-tesla-owners-arent-paying-close-enough/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Europe\u003c/a>, 2) \u003ca href=\"http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/05/another-driver-says-teslas-autopilot-failed-to-brake-tesla-says-otherwise/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in California\u003c/a> and 3) \u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/11/11658226/tesla-model-s-summon-autopilot-crash-letter\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Utah\u003c/a> — in which the Tesla crashed without the driver inside while the car was self-parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla, after reviewing vehicle logs, has attributed those accidents to human error, saying the drivers 1) were inattentive, 2) disabled the automation and 3) misused the Summon feature and didn't heed the vehicle's warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's fully self-driving cars, which mostly ride in city environments as opposed to highways, have so far caused one crash.

Muni says the new system will be more convenient for the tens of thousands of passengers who still pay cash to ride the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the future bus drivers will no longer rip transfers from packets and riders wouldn't need to guess precisely when they expire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This new receipt, which is provided to a customer in real time, shows exactly how much time they have and will help resolve any confusion that exists today,\" Muni spokesman Paul Rose said Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Municipal Transportation Agency's Board of Directors voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/agendaitems/2016/6-28-16%20Item%2011%20Contract%20-%20fareboxes.pdf\">five-year contract\u003c/a> with Illinois-based SPX Genfare for the fareboxes and their installation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni's current fareboxes were installed a quarter of a century ago. Although the fareboxes were refurbished in 2008, Muni officials say the devices are nearing the end of their useful lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes will not affect the growing number of Muni riders who use Clipper cards. Around 45 percent of the agency's passengers use the card that most other local transit systems take, Rose said. But between 12 percent and 14 percent of Muni riders still pay with cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rider advocates say the system needs to move faster toward a digital fare system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In other cities around the world, those transit systems were able to transition riders off of cash,\" said Mark Ballew, a board member of transit advocacy group \u003ca href=\"http://www.rescuemuni.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Rescue Muni\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year the agency launched a service that allows passengers to buy and use tickets using their smartphones. Ballew said Clipper and the new service, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/transit/munimobile\" target=\"_blank\">MuniMobile\u003c/a>, are the kinds of programs that decrease boarding times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With digital payment systems ... riders can pay and board on both doors, increasing Muni's ability to deliver service,\" Ballew said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new fareboxes will mean the paper packets that operators use to hand out 90-minute transfers would disappear. Union officials who represent Muni operators have complained in the past that the packets place drivers in danger, Rose said.

Although the fareboxes were refurbished in 2008, Muni officials say the devices are nearing the end of their useful lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes will not affect the growing number of Muni riders who use Clipper cards. Around 45 percent of the agency's passengers use the card that most other local transit systems take, Rose said. But between 12 percent and 14 percent of Muni riders still pay with cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rider advocates say the system needs to move faster toward a digital fare system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In other cities around the world, those transit systems were able to transition riders off of cash,\" said Mark Ballew, a board member of transit advocacy group \u003ca href=\"http://www.rescuemuni.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Rescue Muni\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year the agency launched a service that allows passengers to buy and use tickets using their smartphones. Ballew said Clipper and the new service, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/transit/munimobile\" target=\"_blank\">MuniMobile\u003c/a>, are the kinds of programs that decrease boarding times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With digital payment systems ... riders can pay and board on both doors, increasing Muni's ability to deliver service,\" Ballew said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new fareboxes will mean the paper packets that operators use to hand out 90-minute transfers would disappear. Union officials who represent Muni operators have complained in the past that the packets place drivers in danger, Rose said. In some cases people have stolen the books \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Enjoy-em-while-you-can-Muni-getting-rid-of-6462937.php\">when drivers aren't looking\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The machines will also help transit planners learn more about the demographics of some of their passengers.

Totally avoidable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Cassidy, the communications director for the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, called the Wednesday night fatalities \"an unprecedented night of tragedy for people biking in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that Lee's remarks fail to address the ongoing death toll, which \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov.org/scorecards/traffic-fatalities\" target=\"_blank\">according to city statistics\u003c/a> includes 110 pedestrians killed in traffic collisions since July 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think what we heard this morning from city leaders was hollow words without any detail,\" Cassidy said. \"The people of San Francisco deserve safer streets. That's the end of the discussion. They deserved them yesterday, and they deserve urgent steps and specific plans today by city leaders to deliver safer streets as soon as humanly possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bike coalition noted that the sites of Wednesday fatalities, on John F. Kennedy Drive in Golden Gate Park and at Seventh and Howard streets South of Market, are located in high-injury corridors identified by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. The coalition and other street safety advocates have called for the creation of more protected bike lanes -- lanes that are physically separated from motorized traffic -- to help prevent collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to see protected bike lanes across San Francisco,\" Cassidy said. \"We need to see them on JFK Drive, where they could have prevented the fatality that occurred yesterday. We need to see them in SoMa, which is a neighborhood crisscrossed by high-injury corridors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition released a list of more than 60 streets identified as high-injury corridors that the city has no immediate plans to make safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA chief Ed Reiskin appeared at Lee's press conference and agreed that the city's most dangerous locations and the causes of most accidents are well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know why they're happening, we know where they're happening, and we know what things we can do to make them least likely to happen,\" Reiskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that change is coming to the most hazardous locales -- including Seventh and Howard, where one of Thursday's victims was killed by a driver who reportedly ran a red light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiskin said that crosswalks were recently upgraded to make pedestrians more visible to drivers and that traffic signals have been mounted on long arms across the intersection where motorists can see them more easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Last night's episode showed design alone isn't sufficient if somebody is speeding through the streets and disobeying the laws,\" Reiskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"hitrundeaths\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nOriginal post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco police are investigating two hit-and-run collisions on Wednesday evening in which motorists struck and killed cyclists, then fled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Bay Area reports details of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Female-Cyclist-Killed-in-Hit-and-Run-in-Golden-Gate-Park-384063951.html\" target=\"_blank\">the first incident\u003c/a>, which took place about 6 p.m. on John F. Kennedy Drive near 30th Avenue. A woman riding her bike there was struck by a white Honda Fit:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Witnesses said the vehicle was traveling about 50-60 mph when it crossed over into oncoming traffic to pass another vehicle and hit the bicycle head-on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I heard an impact, and I look and see the woman who had just passed us fly up, and I saw the bike fly the other direction,\" said Timmory Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses said the driver slowed momentarily after the impact then took off in a hurry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman, in her 20s, was not responsive at the scene, despite the efforts of emergency crews to revive her. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vehicle, which had paper dealership plates, was found a few blocks away with a shattered windshield. Police said at least two people were in the vehicle, and they are searching for a second vehicle that may lead them to the person or persons responsible.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The second fatal collision occurred about 8:30 p.m. at Seventh and Howard streets in the SoMa neighborhood. In that incident, witnesses said, a driver ran a red light, struck a female cyclist, and drove on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say they were able to locate and arrest the driver, apparently after other cyclists spotted the male driver just blocks west of the collision scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/4pfjey/i_caught_a_driver_fleeing_a_hit_and_run_on_howard/\" target=\"_blank\">a post\u003c/a> on Reddit's San Francisco subreddit, the driver was seen trying to walk away from his vehicle after a second collision, this time with another vehicle:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I saw a man flee a car with airbags opened and signs of a fresh accident, as the car hit into another car. Called 911 and tried to get the attention of other driving passerbys that paused but kept going. As the guy tried to blend in with others on the street, I chased him down with another pedestrian and demanded he sit and wait for the police, he obliged. Definitely not sober. F'ing guy killed someone due to his recklessness. Witnesses said he blew through a red light when he struck the girl. His car told the same story.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Neither the woman killed in Golden Gate Park nor the one killed South of Market had been identified as of early Thursday.

We cannot have that in our city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city's \u003ca href=\"http://visionzerosf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Vision Zero\u003c/a> program to eliminate traffic deaths is showing progress and vowed to work along with groups representing pedestrians, cyclists and seniors to get the city to \"come together even stronger to reinforce the standards of using our streets appropriately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee returned repeatedly to the suggestion that individuals driving on city streets are not behaving responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As much as we are doing to educate the public, whether it's through signage, through education, we have to also do a level of enforcement to hold these individuals accountable and make sure that they are using our streets safely,\" Lee said. \"These are totally avoidable tragedies. Totally avoidable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Cassidy, the communications director for the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, called the Wednesday night fatalities \"an unprecedented night of tragedy for people biking in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that Lee's remarks fail to address the ongoing death toll, which \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov.org/scorecards/traffic-fatalities\" target=\"_blank\">according to city statistics\u003c/a> includes 110 pedestrians killed in traffic collisions since July 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think what we heard this morning from city leaders was hollow words without any detail,\" Cassidy said. \"The people of San Francisco deserve safer streets. That's the end of the discussion. They deserved them yesterday, and they deserve urgent steps and specific plans today by city leaders to deliver safer streets as soon as humanly possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bike coalition noted that the sites of Wednesday fatalities, on John F. Kennedy Drive in Golden Gate Park and at Seventh and Howard streets South of Market, are located in high-injury corridors identified by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. The coalition and other street safety advocates have called for the creation of more protected bike lanes -- lanes that are physically separated from motorized traffic -- to help prevent collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to see protected bike lanes across San Francisco,\" Cassidy said. \"We need to see them on JFK Drive, where they could have prevented the fatality that occurred yesterday. We need to see them in SoMa, which is a neighborhood crisscrossed by high-injury corridors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition released a list of more than 60 streets identified as high-injury corridors that the city has no immediate plans to make safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA chief Ed Reiskin appeared at Lee's press conference and agreed that the city's most dangerous locations and the causes of most accidents are well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know why they're happening, we know where they're happening, and we know what things we can do to make them least likely to happen,\" Reiskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that change is coming to the most hazardous locales -- including Seventh and Howard, where one of Thursday's victims was killed by a driver who reportedly ran a red light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiskin said that crosswalks were recently upgraded to make pedestrians more visible to drivers and that traffic signals have been mounted on long arms across the intersection where motorists can see them more easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Last night's episode showed design alone isn't sufficient if somebody is speeding through the streets and disobeying the laws,\" Reiskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"hitrundeaths\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nOriginal post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco police are investigating two hit-and-run collisions on Wednesday evening in which motorists struck and killed cyclists, then fled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Bay Area reports details of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Female-Cyclist-Killed-in-Hit-and-Run-in-Golden-Gate-Park-384063951.html\" target=\"_blank\">the first incident\u003c/a>, which took place about 6 p.m. on John F. Kennedy Drive near 30th Avenue. A woman riding her bike there was struck by a white Honda Fit:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Witnesses said the vehicle was traveling about 50-60 mph when it crossed over into oncoming traffic to pass another vehicle and hit the bicycle head-on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I heard an impact, and I look and see the woman who had just passed us fly up, and I saw the bike fly the other direction,\" said Timmory Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses said the driver slowed momentarily after the impact then took off in a hurry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman, in her 20s, was not responsive at the scene, despite the efforts of emergency crews to revive her.

As the guy tried to blend in with others on the street, I chased him down with another pedestrian and demanded he sit and wait for the police, he obliged. Definitely not sober. F'ing guy killed someone due to his recklessness. Witnesses said he blew through a red light when he struck the girl. His car told the same story.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Neither the woman killed in Golden Gate Park nor the one killed South of Market had been identified as of early Thursday.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco supervisors have passed legislation that will require about 80 percent of the city's vehicle fleet to carry black boxes to record data that it's hoped will make city workers more accountable for their driving behavior. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance by Supervisor Norman Yee, passed unanimously Tuesday, comes in the wake of some high-profile fatal collisions involving city vehicles or vehicles that are contracted with the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They include \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/signage-coming-to-site-where-pedestrian-was-fatally-struck/\" target=\"_blank\">the recent death\u003c/a> of 38-year-old Thu Phan, who was killed trying to cross Market Street in her wheelchair. Just last week, 86-year-old Lurilla Harris was \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/86-year-old-woman-IDd-as-person-killed-by-SF-8001024.php?cmpid=twitter-tablet\" target=\"_blank\">killed by a paratransit driver\u003c/a> in a city-contracted vehicle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a City Hall press conference on Tuesday, Yee explained his passion for the issue comes from his own traumatic experience of being hit by a driver while walking. He fought back tears as he recalled the day after Christmas in 2006 when he was critically injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not only did they think I would not live, but they thought I would never walk again,\" said Yee, who recovered but still occasionally deals with pain and cramps. \"It didn't just impact me, but it impacted my family, my friends and everybody around me.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telematics technology, according to Yee and safe-streets advocates, has been helpful in dramatically reducing collisions in cities such as London and New York, by changing driver behavior. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency installed similar technology in its buses in 2010, resulting in a 50 percent reduction in collisions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Crashes are not accidents. They are predictable and preventable, and we know that we have the tools in the toolbox to prevent these crashes from happening in the first place. This is one such tool,\" said Nicole Ferrara, the executive director of Walk San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee pointed to a city legislative analyst report that found San Francisco paid out nearly $77 million in city vehicle-related legal claims over a five-year period ending last year. The telemetics system, which will cost the city $1.3 million to install and $1.8 million to maintain annually, will help to save lives and money, Yee and safe-streets advocates said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Administrator Noami Kelly said the data will help city officials improve driver training, identify neighborhoods where the most collisions are happening, and whether a street needs to be redesigned or whether there's a pattern with the design of a vehicle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a privilege to drive a city vehicle, and if you have that privilege you need to drive it safely, and so it's a reminder that we need to be responsible with our fleet,\" Kelly said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Yee and Kelly, who is overseeing the program, would like to expand the technology to use sensors and other tools that could help vehicles detect pedestrians, in blind spots, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 30 percent of the city's 8,000-vehicle fleet currently has the tracking technology. The legislation, however, does not cover law enforcement vehicles, but Yee and Kelly say they are in discussions with law enforcement officials and their unions to address concerns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation also does not cover vehicles contracted with the city, but Yee is currently working to address that with future legislation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Kelly said she plans to roll out a new online driver training program for city workers later this year. City workers can face a range of disciplinary action for driving dangerously, Kelly said, from a letter of reprimand to being fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee said his legislation will mean that when it comes to city workers \"we will know what you're doing, will know where you're going, and we will know how fast you're going.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation is part of the city's Vision Zero efforts to achieve zero traffic deaths by 2024. \u003c/p>\n\n",

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency installed similar technology in its buses in 2010, resulting in a 50 percent reduction in collisions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Crashes are not accidents. They are predictable and preventable, and we know that we have the tools in the toolbox to prevent these crashes from happening in the first place. This is one such tool,\" said Nicole Ferrara, the executive director of Walk San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee pointed to a city legislative analyst report that found San Francisco paid out nearly $77 million in city vehicle-related legal claims over a five-year period ending last year. The telemetics system, which will cost the city $1.3 million to install and $1.8 million to maintain annually, will help to save lives and money, Yee and safe-streets advocates said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Administrator Noami Kelly said the data will help city officials improve driver training, identify neighborhoods where the most collisions are happening, and whether a street needs to be redesigned or whether there's a pattern with the design of a vehicle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a privilege to drive a city vehicle, and if you have that privilege you need to drive it safely, and so it's a reminder that we need to be responsible with our fleet,\" Kelly said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Yee and Kelly, who is overseeing the program, would like to expand the technology to use sensors and other tools that could help vehicles detect pedestrians, in blind spots, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 30 percent of the city's 8,000-vehicle fleet currently has the tracking technology. The legislation, however, does not cover law enforcement vehicles, but Yee and Kelly say they are in discussions with law enforcement officials and their unions to address concerns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation also does not cover vehicles contracted with the city, but Yee is currently working to address that with future legislation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Kelly said she plans to roll out a new online driver training program for city workers later this year. City workers can face a range of disciplinary action for driving dangerously, Kelly said, from a letter of reprimand to being fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee said his legislation will mean that when it comes to city workers \"we will know what you're doing, will know where you're going, and we will know how fast you're going.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation is part of the city's Vision Zero efforts to achieve zero traffic deaths by 2024. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
