The solution to her problem included a trip to Jo - Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, a salvaged motor from some broken lab equipment,
an old bicycle wheel and a lot of brainstorming.
The Volvo was in self - driving mode with a human backup driver at the
wheel when it hit 49 - year -
old Elaine Herzberg as she was walking a
bicycle outside the lines of a crosswalk, police said.
And through the concrete madness of honking horns and beep - beep - beeps, the shuttlecock, the raggedy dog, the yellow - scarved soldiers in green, the docking ships of night and the smog of modernity; silently cruised the noble
old cyclo drivers in shorts and rag shirts, bobbing on forever over their chariots — these three -
wheeled rickshaws with a large passenger seat at the front, like a
bicycle attached to a wheelchair — visions of serenity and melancholy calm.
