David, Do you have numbers for deaths in the USA during the same period due to cars without the "autodrive" feature driving into the backs of others whilst under human driver control? Only a comparison of the numbers would allow meaningful conclusions to be drawn. I am not a proponent of self driving cars, but use of the "autodrive" feature as an adaptive cruise control would surely be of huge benefit to the safety of road users?

I was talking to him re the large energy producers must be concerned with all this push for renewable energy. He stated, not at all, they see this whole renewable energy thing as a huge opportunity. As he said- we make or have everything that is used in making renewable energy- copper, nickel, aluminium etc, its a whole new industrial revolution which needs feeding !!! |

Yep, driven a couple of those lowdown container tanks, loaded up with liquid sugar & without baffles so they kicked me in the back all the way up the M1 to DIRFT.

Of course, none of the disinformation regarding EV's could possibly have been seeded by the giant oil companies and their subsidiaries. Never known for being crooks or underhand in anyway
Instead of propagating the myths why not talk to those that actually own an EV. Most that I know are more than happy with their choice. I'm pretty sure these same conversations took place when the infernal combustion engine came along and all the Horse and Cart industry were running scared

The truth is councillors, with few exceptions, are just not qualified to be overseeing huge sums of public money .......and there we have it. The End. |
