This is near 100% confirmation that Tesla won't get a permit to roll out FSD Supervised in Europe.
My hunch is that the Regulator needs Tesla's FSD data, which Tesla has refused to submit even to regulators in California since 2014.
I wonder what Tesla has to hide?

I thought this was fairly well established, but: here's another new study showing that wind and solar complement each other and make for a more stable grid when combined.

While Pauline Hanson does obnoxious stunts, the Coalition is about to dredge up a migration 'policy' that will dog-whistle up the same racist undercurrents.
And rather than naming it for the socially divisive sludge it is, most mainstream media will pretend it's one 'side' of a 'debate'. #auspol

Pauline Hanson thinks she speaks for the mainstream but her stunt shows she is a bit player with bad instincts
While banning the burqa might play with the Sky After Dark audience, it is miles from a broad concern among punters
Nearly 30 years after she first entered politics with a firebrand maiden speech about Asian immigration, Pauline Hanson remains a committed fringe dweller, with narrow political interests and bad instincts.
Suspended from the Senate on Tuesday, her decision to don a burqa in the chamber a day earlier badly disrupted proceedings and drew near universal condemnation. It is only the fifth time since 1901 that a seven-day suspension has been put in place, and the first time since 1979. Continue reading...

Paying Nauru billions to break international law for us
Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret.
It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.

Extract from Jack Toohey’s book on how we have got it all wrong with real estate financialisation rather than productivity and research.
“Aust finds itself in a paradox. Passive property ownership appears more financially rewarding than productive work…distorted reward system”.
