That's considered NORMAL? Seriously?
Insanity. You can't expect drivers to reboot their c
Thee EU Parliament has agreed to ban private ICEVs from 2035. That's the
reason that most European automakers have done serious work on EVs in recent
years.
But it's up to the EU nations to implement the ban, and one of them won't
play ball.
A year ago, it looked like everything was falling in

Sometimes the code doesn't explain why there's certain rules that appear

It's curious. Tesla has won previous cases by convincing juries that they'd
provided enough disclaimers. They almost took this one to trial too, but

Is there something in this case about the cars that they didn't want made

A possibly interesting bit of EV trivia:
The "modern" robotaxi archetype is arguably the Johnny-cab from the 1990
film Total Recall.

Reuters is reporting that Tesla has suspended or cancelled its program to
produce a low-cost EV, in favor of developing "robotaxis" instead.
Elon Musk posted on twitter that "Reuters is lying (again)," but didn't
provide any specifics.
Reuters cited 3 anonymous sources inside Tesla.

I don't know that you could quantify that, but here are some data that might
be worth looking at.

The good news: in 2024 Q1, Tesla regained the #1 world EV sales spot from
Chinese automaker BYD. BYD's world sales were down 43% from 2023 Q4, though
they were still up over 13% from 2023 Q1.

worse than expected decline
