"The crash is strikingly similar to the one in Burlingame last summer, where a 19-year-old motorist killed 4-year-old Ayden Fang and sent a 6-year-old girl standing beside him on the sidewalk outside a downtown restaurant to Stanford Hospital. Like the Burlingame crash, the Westwood incident was preceded by the driver, this one a senior, colliding with a cyclist. The Westwood vehicle then then plowed into a supermarket storefront, killing three shoppers and sending four to the hospital."
"I commend the Mountain View police for turning off their Flock cameras. I hope the city decides to keep them off. The constitutional rights of law-abiding residents are paramount. Maybe the AI-enabled cameras do help solve some crimes, but at what cost? If my car is stolen, I'd rather get a new car than risk my neighbors being disappeared by the Trump administration's ICE thugs."
A 92-year-old driver in Westwood collided with a bicyclist and then plowed into a supermarket storefront, killing three shoppers and injuring multiple people. A similar Burlingame crash involved a 19-year-old motorist who killed a 4-year-old and injured another child after hitting a sidewalk. Both incidents began with collisions with cyclists and were characterized by authorities as accidents despite apparent preventability. Mountain View police disconnected Flock automatic license-plate readers amid concerns about constitutional rights, AI-enabled surveillance, and potential misuse by immigration authorities. Some voices favor reinstating a substantial estate tax on inheritances above $100 million instead of a wealth tax.
