It's interesting that breaking laws so long as you're in a car is acceptable. Everyone who ever got a speeding ticket says, "but I was just 10km/hr over the limit!" Imagine getting arrested for shoplifting and arguing that you *only* stole 10% of the products in your basket.

Exactly. An electric motor is much simpler than a combustion engine, so these vehicles should really be cheaper than traditional cars. But auto manufacturers feel the need to load them up with "high tech" nonsense so they can command a premium price.

It's a shame I have to hold my cellphone under a waterfall to use it. There's just no way to store hydroelectric power! 🤷

Indeed. "Elbows up" has quickly become "elbows on the ground as we grovel before our orange master". It's embarrassing.

There's plenty of research showing the direct correlation between vehicle speeds and the probability of pedestrian death (example: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31176144/). But god forbid drivers need to add 60 seconds to their commutes.

The results of the meta-analysis support setting speed limits of 30-40 km/h for high pedestrian active areas. These speed limits are commonly used by best practice countries that have the lowest road ...
