  • Come on guys it is old technology, it will be soon the case in EU :

    From july 2024 all new cars will have an intelligent GPS which prevents driver that the speed limit is exceeded (the gas pedal will be stronger). of course you can disable it, but you have to do it every time you start.

    Can't wait to see drivers panic because they can't speed up in 30km/h areas (like around schools)

    Edit for clarity: can't, not can. please respect people's lives in sensible areas (cities), be conscious that you can easily kill someone with your 1,5T armour. And speed up as much as you want on empty highways if you enjoy it

  • I saw a pedestrian get bumped by a city car on a crossing yesterday, she rolled on the hood and had a leg injury.

    With a higher hood, like a SUV, she would probably have been thrown onto the ground and hit her head...

  • so now in top of entertainement systems on videos, soundsystems, drivers will be distracted with bot conversations. Awesome.

    thanks vw that is very useful... How to pay attention to the road, and others road users already fragile (pedestrians, cyclists, motocylists) on a 1,5T rolling living-room-sofa ?

    A car is already too much considered as personnal property and "vital space", yeah it is a good idea to give drivers more of this "personnal bubble" feeling. /s if it was not explicit enough

  • Maybe you are lucky with your car, and know how to maintain yourself. We spent already 3000$ on repairs on our 2010 car and we have it for only 5 years. And there is more to be done (dampers, belts, corrosion on exhaust...). Even with knowledge and equipment (which I do not have) engines are complicated to maintain, at least here in europe with our anti pollution regulations, older motors are more robust but are now banned from cities. EV is a good solution for city/suburbs people with small range needs as less maintainance is needed. Better solution is bike and trains...

  • “There is a joke here that all poor people are driving electric cars, and all the rich people are driving petrol cars,” says Malakhovsky. “Tesla is a common-people, popular car because it’s very cheap in maintenance.”

    yeah, only a joke unfortunately, later on the article they give the exemple of a guy who spent 24k$ for a totaled Y + 25k$ for repairs + 4k$ for batttery change... because the guy was tired of paying 400$/month for gaz, now he is paying 10-100$ for charging. This is even more expensive than a new one

  • So you are afraid of cars so you take your own car... I fully understand that but it is all the problem.

    We have to constantly remind drivers that road are for everyone, and not only to go full speed.

    Here they painted bikes on roads and put speed limit at 30kmh so it is better, drivers seems more conscious, but we still see too much distracted people that don't realize they can easily kill someone just by not looking constantly at the road.

  • Kuzminov and his family are currently safe in Ukraine. The pilot was rewarded with $500,000 for defecting with his helicopter after the Ukrainian government last year implemented a program that incentivizes Russian military members to defect with their equipment in exchange for hefty monetary rewards.

    Nice mean to get cheap equipment
