For those interested, there's a Malcolm Gladwell podcast episode about this very phenomenon. Spoiler, humans have historically pressed the wrong pedal, crashed, and then blamed the auto. Science done afterwards seems to always point to human error. This story will only make the rounds through because it's not a Toyota Corolla.

As a former FF, I can confirm, it's always way lower than citizens think. Deserves more conversation, I believe.

Google+ user? What a strange label which has nothing to do with the story. "Facebook user..." "Samsung phone user..."

Re: Android Wear is Worthless for Travelers

Well, I've had completely the opposite experience. I travel a lot for work (50-75%) of my time.

I can't imagine leaving the house without my Moto 360.

Apparently you've not downloaded it. Hardly the same app.

MHSzymczyk,

I don't use taxis because is most cases, it's not a positive experience. Whereas, with over 200 rides with Uber, I have mostly very positive experiences. Has nothing to do with cost.

You think that storing everything you want to keep on an SD on your card is secure?

You don't know me nor where I've lived. But you assume your experience isn't anecdotal and perhaps even a universal truth?

You're very confused.

So, what's wrong with both? Block is for serious stuff and mute is for muting. Seems like it isn't too hard.

Wow, what a hype article. Do you realize how many car fires there are, every year? 416 a day. This is absurd that one electric car catches fire, and it makes FC.

Re: The Best Towns in Oklahoma for Young Families

Sid Burgess — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 15:44:41 -0000

Hate to be "that guy" but the article is misleading. The methodology is incredibly suburban. So you're going to get suburban results. Which is of course to say, the title is misleading. If you factor other amenities/benefits/options, you'll get different results. How about walkabilty, proximity to local foods, great restaurants, parks, transit, bike/trail system, and lots of family activities.

None of these cities save maybe Edmond offer the diversity of options that we as a family are looking for. To be frank, not even close. As a family with 3 kids we are looking for a place with good mass transit so everyone can get where they need to go without having to own a fleet of cars. We are looking for lots of great destinations like parks, museums, and civic space so our kids can grow up experiencing those things. A range of academic opportunities like career schools, private schools, tutors, and colleges ensure that our kids will grow up with plenty of learning opportunities all around them.

I appreciate what the article is trying to do but it does get a little old hearing about how places so far removed from a quality of life that so many are looking for is somehow competitive. There are a lot of young families living downtown around us here in Downtown OKC. And they keep moving in.

I'd suggest maybe a follow-up article where you offered people up more options and amenities to sort by so they can make a more balanced decision. In the meantime, the article should be corrected to read, "The Five Best Town for the Young Suburban Family".
