Most people are used to dealing with consumer-grade machines. Industrial-grade machines are far more reliable. Nothing's perfect. Overall risk of people being harmed by quality, well-tested, automated enforcement is far less than no enforcement. The Grappler was invented by a roofer, not a cop:

Agreed. Billionaire sports team owners and multimillionaire players can pay for their own stadiums. They can also pay 100% of the cost of small shuttle buses with heavy security to transport combative drunk fans home from stadiums instead of expecting taxpayers to fix potholes caused by huge buses.
Some billionaires finance things that benefit all. Other billionaires sell addictive junk food, lethal monster trucks, oil tinged with blood & addictive SSRIs. Would you make short trips in a heated or air conditioned mobility scooter on a protected cycling network? More practical than transit.

Speed cameras save lives by getting reckless drivers off the road. Data centers save lives too by reducing the need to drive. By ordering groceries to be delivered instead of driving to pick them up, for example. Especially for elderly drivers. Or tired drivers of any age. Also telemedicine & AI.
This weatherproof heated mobility scooter could be the ultimate e-assist cycle for cold weather if they made it a little longer and added pedals. It's only 76cm wide (30") - narrower than many cargo trikes and child trailers.
Trains don't provide 24/7 door-to-door service. And they don't provide social distancing from contagious airborne diseases. Microcars (including weatherproof mobility scooters) are for low-speed door-to-door short trips or trips to intercity bus or train stations. Similar to bikes but weatherproof.
The world has evolved while public transport is stuck in the 1950s. Public transport would be OK for more people if it included autonomous taxis & shuttle buses of various sizes - including autonomous weatherproof single-seat taxis for people on prescription meds that impair driving judgement.
Many voters are tone deaf to whining from violent criminals who believe their privacy rights are more important than public safety. Reckless drivers are violent criminals.
The best traffic control systems use data centers to co-ordinate traffic lights, with fallback to simple local timer mode when communication links fail. Better yet when retractable bollards, etc. are automatically deployed to stop road racers, red-light runners, and other reckless drivers.

Over the past four years, the Ukrainian people have fought heroically to defend their home against Russia’s unprovoked invasion. Now, Trump is letting Putin rake in billions of dollars to fuel his war of conquest. Here’s how:
Russia's Ilsky oil refinery in Krasnodar is on fire after a drone strike - one of the largest private refineries in southern Russia. OSINT footage shows heavy smoke. Governor unconfirmed. The facility directly supplies Russian frontline forces.
