The transportation status quo is not only unsafe, it is inaccessible. Over 41 million Americans with disabilities deserve better transportation options. I’m excited to introduce the @Cruise WAV, the world's first self-driving, wheelchair accessible vehicle. (1/5)

FPF’s @lesmith on @CBSThisMorning: “In a world where 94% of car crashes are caused by human error, the case is so much stronger for opting in and sharing data with your car. The truth is that yes, your car will be learning more about you, but what it learns may save your life.” – at Washington, DC
AHEAD on @CBSThisMorning: @KrisVanCleave shows us how new cars know more about you than you think and where the information may end up
