500m is bigger than you think. Also fines escalate.

Which is much cheaper than this car. Prices for small cars must go down(and big car prices going way up seems fine, TBf)

I don’t live in car land. Hence I don’t commute or shop groceries via car. Charging seems a hassle for typical trips, but I am not an experienced driver. I want mini cars to be cheaper, not go farther, so using one is more sensible.

I struggle to believe that. Packing more batteries does not mean size has to increase by a lot. the biggest part of car volume is air anyway.

17k for not even 200km range sucks. EVs must get cheaper.

Edit: This does not mean that the car sucks. It means that profits must fall. Can’t have china have a 9k for 350km car. We must be better and cheaper! Also battery costs are plummeting.

“Critical Thinker” Yikes. Somehow the right made that a forbidden word in my mind because they hide behind that as an excuse for asking terrible questions etc.

Anyway. Allegedly the statistics are rather mediocre for self driving cars. But sadly I haven’t seen a good statistic about that, either. The issue here is that automatable tasks are lower risk driving situations so having a good statistic is near impossible. E.g. miles driven are heavily skewed when you are only used on highways as a driver. There are no simple numbers that will tell you anything of worth.

That being said the title should be about the mistake that happened without fundamental statements (i.e. self driving is bad because motorcyclists die).
