    I guess you can say that but you can also make the argument that he was only traveling in the dark, in a rush because he was being invited over by this not pretending to be a real person. Elderly person yearning for companionship may get over excited at an opportunity like this.

      I’m going to hazard a guess that this was more because US infrastructure is unsafe for people with mobility issues. Because pedestrians are second-class citizens compared to motorists.

      People should be safe walking around where they live. If they aren’t, something is wrong. And that something is not the desire to walk places, even if it was caused by a weird scambot.
