Tesla's self-driving is pretty shite but they seem to have a particular problem with railway crossings, as also pointed out in the article. Of all of the obstacles for the self-driving system to fail to detect, the several thousand tons of moving steel is probably one of the worst outcomes.
To secure "relief" ie: To return to the previous trade agreement that Trump himself signed off on.
To desire nothing but a return what-once-was is incredibly shortsighted. This isn't about getting relief from tariffs is that those tariffs should never have happened in the first place. The US violated our trade agreement and, to this day, still changes its mind on what it wants almost daily. They have also made continuous threats towards our sovereignty with threats of invasion and war as well as flagrant disrespect towards our elected leader(s) and citizens.
The Canada-US relationship is over. It's done. Trying to make more deals with them is a foolish waste of time at best and a threat to our national security at worst.
We love being able to get around without the risk of being murdered or permanently disfigured by people driving cars. We will intentionally go out of our way to ride on protected routes even if it means extending our travel times.
Drivers disagree. They demand that we ride in traffic where we will slow them down, make them angry, and make them want to murder us.
Yup. If you've ever lived in or near a tourist destination then you can probably understand why these people are upset.
People are getting ousted from their homes (usually gradually but sometimes abruptly too) in favour of people that don't even live there. It may be as small as a tourist trap displacing a local neighbourhood or as big as short-term rentals and a tourism economy pushing out the lower classes in an entire city.
When you're new to driving and not totally comfortable with it yet - most of your brainpower will be focused on controlling and handling the vehicle and taking your attention away from that to check signage is terrifying.
This goes away with practice and experience. Eventually controlling the car will become muscle memory and you can devote your brainpower to broader observation of your surroundings and signage. Start with calm back roads, quiet residential streets, and gentle intersections. Preferably an area with a mix of things like stop signs, uncontrolled intersections, hill stops, school/play zones, crosswalks, and so on.
It can be kinda fun too as you can explore neighbourhoods you've never been to before.
Firstly: Designing an appealing sports/luxury car is expensive and many companies hire skilled professionals from known design firms to help accomplish this. The design often comes first and much of the car is constructed to fit the aesthetic and theme. Cheaper vehicles are more utilitarian with a more "that'll do" attitude instead of being designed with artistic intention.
Secondly: Almost ever car maker has their own luxury brand or subsidiary. Selling cheap luxury/sports cars would undermine their own brand's prestige and market segregation. There is a reason why dedicated luxury brands will not make budget-friendly vehicles unless legally forced to.
LGR is a classic. He's a great, honest guy and runs a good channel with good content. Financed by views and memberships/Patrons; I don't think he does any sponsorship deals at all.
He's an old-school kind of Youtuber that sticks to what he does and doesn't overreach or grow too fast like so many channels do.
I live in a tiny space and don't have the space to work on my bike myself other than very minor things. I take it to my local bike ship every year or two for a once-over of the brakes, tires, drivetrain, shifting, etc.
Basic preventative maintenance I do here at home. I cleaned the drivetrain and waxed my chain just the other day.
Carney is effectively a moderate conservative, which is what a lot of Canadians have wanted for a long time. I've said it for years - the first party to field a moderate conservative that isn't a total lunatic will sweep elections.
And I hope the fact that it was the LPC to do so rips the CPC to pieces. I'd love to see that party split again. Their stubborn backing of a mini-Trump cost them one of the most historical election leads in Canadian history.
Luring people into doubting elections and democratic processes is a staple practice of fascist politics.
It's a win/win move for them. It casts doubt on democratic institutions and processes which weakens them and it, if successful, also may gain them a couple seats.
The public needs to start pushing back against behaviour like this. This was not even a super close election; there are very clear seat count differences between the incumbent and opposition parties.
Looking forward to the headlines: "Tesla Robotaxi passengers need medical attention after Robotaxi hits speed bump at 70mph"
