Looking at the data, this kind of safety and order issue always accompanies the adoption phase of electric mobility. Looking at numbers rather than sentiment, it's more rational to identify hazard spots proactively than to respond after accidents happen. Oregon's initiative makes sense as this kind of preventive approach. I believe adoption of technology requires a supporting social framework.

I'd think driving-manner education is more fundamentally effective long-term than reporting.

The US has a reputation for a lot of traffic trouble involving e-scooters and bikes, so it sounds like a situation that needs addressing.

I'm curious about the actual mechanism for reporting—an app, a hotline, something like that.

A reporting system might just end up encouraging a snitch culture without actually solving the root problem.

Since the goal is identifying problem spots, it feels more like data collection for infrastructure improvement than singling out individuals.

The idea of identifying problem spots before someone gets hurt is a preventive approach worth crediting.

This also seems like evidence that regulations haven't caught up to how fast electric mobility has exploded.
