Overall, both model and human increase attention to things and decrease attention to stuff compared to baseline pixel-count-based probability. When human fixation to individual labels disagrees with this average pattern, model attention also tends to mimic the human. 10/15

The US has the highest rate of pedestrian and cyclist fatalities—by far—among wealthy nations despite having far lower rates of walk/bike. The difference is almost entirely because of mandated auto dependence, road design and failure to regulate dangerous automobiles and drivers.

❗Bicyclist fatalities peak in the month of August, with more than 930 people killed on U.S. roadways from 2013-2022.❗ Drivers 🚗 — remember to share the road and give bicyclists enough space. 🚴 Tips to keep yourself and others safe here: NHTSA.gov/BicycleSafety
The image features a sunny road with a designated bike lane on the right, marked by a bike lane symbol and the number "60" painted on the asphalt. Palm trees line the road. An overhead road sign shows a bicycle symbol and text "BIKE LANE." Bold text overlay at the center reads, "AUGUST is the deadliest month for bicyclists." The focus on road safety for bicyclists during August is emphasized.
