@@kelpermoon23 the concept where the people in a town is strictly limited to small strips of pavements for their movement is a new phenomenon brought about by the want for speed for automobiles. If you look at early films of everyday life, you see that horses arrive at predictable speed and everybody just go about their business, letting horses by as it is practical. Further, you've probably heard of the red flag laws, where somebody had to walk 60 yards (UK) or one eight of a mile (US) ahead of the vehicle, warning others of the approaching vehicle and signaling if the vehicle needed to stop. To solve this inconvenience, all the road infrastructure we know today was invented to try to let drivers get about as fast and convenient as they could and to have right of way. 'Jay' was a term to mean unfamiliar or green, slandering pedestrians who would not know their place. On Wikipedia, under 'jaywalking', we can read: 'Automobile interests in the US took up the cause of labeling and scorning jaywalkers in the 1910s and early 1920s.[6][7] In 1912, for instance, Popular Mechanics magazine reported that the term was current in Kansas City: "The city pedestrian who cares not for traffic regulations at street corners, but strays all over the street, crossing in the middle of the block, or attempting to save time by choosing a diagonal route across a street intersection instead of adhering to the regular crossing, is designatated as a "jay walker," in Kansas City."[8]'. The same article recommends two readings about the subject, one from the BBC, one from Vox. I've read neither but they seem promising.

Inventor probably sued by homeowners picking up the morning paper off their lawns by drivers who couldn't drive back then either.

Except for the lever, I think this wasn’t so bad of an idea. I can imagine why they got rid of it, but why didn’t they develop it further? Maybe they could take a different shape for more safety and make the system automatically activate it when it detects a person and collision can’t be evaded. I believe that we would have the technology today to make this safer, even at high speeds. Then maybe we could kinda evade the dilemma with autonomic driving in the future (You’ve probably heard this before, but I mean the one when the AI detects that a crash can’t be evaded and for example either an old or a young person would have to die). Or maybe they will implement something like that in their designs? We don’t know it yet. Let’s see what the future has to offer
