Thursday – The city of Santa Monica asked Damien to do an interview in advance of its new AI program to enforce bike lane laws. Since the city doesn’t post on TikTok or YouTube Shorts, they kindly allowed us to use the video on our channels.

Our Streetsblog California editor recorded a video about his bike rides in the City of Santa Monica in advance of the launch of their AI Bike lane enforcement program. Since the city isn’t on TikTok, they are letting us share it here. #santamonica #bicycling #ai #haydenai
