OMG say Euro car makers!!

Who exports MORE automobiles than the USA and Japan COMBINED? Yes, China and BYD is leading the way.

BYD Denz Z9GT = "technical tour de force". Check out these specs:

- 5 minute charge time!
- tri-motor setup that produces 1,140hp
- 0-62mph in just 2.7 seconds
- top speed of 167mph
- rear-wheel independent steering = crab walk

Blackstone Laboratories takes on #LLMs and their use to review motor oil analysis. Basically, #ai just seems to make stuff up. LLMs rely upon publicly available information and don’t have context that is crucial in making recommendations to individuals for their engines.

Tidbit here about EVs in this LA times article:

"...California’s EV adoption keeps climbing, with nearly 1 in 6 new cars fully electric, robust used sales and hundreds of millions in state incentives replacing lost federal rebates...."

(California) "now has more public chargers than gas pumps"

C'est vrai que l' #immatriculation des #automobiles a réglé sans exception aucune toutes les #infractions sur nos routes.

Et elles ne provoquent plus aucun #mort chaque année en 🇫🇷 et ne sont pas facteur de danger à chaque #intersection.

Vous voulez #sécuriser #rues et intersections ?

Vous voulez moins de #victimes de la #route dans nos hôpitaux ?

Vous voulez des #économies au budget de l'État (#hôpital, usure des routes, plus de construction de nouvelles #autoroutes) ?

Vous voulez mieux utiliser nos ressources telles que les gardiens de la paix ?

Supprimez les automobiles !

Les résultats seront bien plus spectaculaires qu'en immatriculant les #vélos.

#RobertDowneyJr. weaves introspection and environmentalism into a show about #cars
While “#DowneysDreamCars” is very much a show for #gearheads, it isn't restricted to that audience. Downey experiments with genre in a kind of #ecofriendly “#PimpMyRide” that is also part memoir and a documentary about the latest advancements in clean technology.
