Los Angeles paid $400M+ in 4 years to people hurt/killed on the streets. LA spends more money paying off people injured or killed by its street designs than it spends making streets safer.

Good info, but why is this a video instead of an article?

The car dealers lobby group is a huge part of this. Note, I said car dealers, not car manufacturers.

They pay off the politicians and the politicians use the people’s money for these lawsuits. They are the reason why public transportation is horrendous in LA. The people suffer twice.

They were also the ones trying to stop Tesla from selling directly from the Tesla website for obvious reasons.
