The bus is a much better travel option anyway. Trying to make travel plans with SNCF is a nightmare with their constant strikes.

Austria. In Vienna, for example, 44% of the rental stock is public housing.

In California, drivers are only required to have $15,000 liability insurance.

The US has a similar system. It is not officially written into law, but any halfway decent tax accountant knows the loopholes.

They should update their home page. It still shows offices in Russia, with a footnote saying "suspended".

Looks like their research groups are in Russia. Not sure how that's going to work going forward.

ACC is their collision avoidance system, which isn't part of the EU mandate.

"ISA [Intelligent Speed Assist] systems do not automatically apply the brakes, but simply limit engine power preventing the vehicle from accelerating past the current speed limit unless overridden."

See https://etsc.eu/intelligent-speed-assistance-isa/ for list of vehicles.

Many expect the EU to eventually remove override capabilities as the systems become more widespread.

Europe is now mandating intelligent speed limiters, so I don't know what you are getting on about.

Not really:

Congress already has the option of overriding/veto any EPA adopted regulation. It has never used that power to remove regulation of CO2. This is not a win for democracy -- quite the opposite.

He did $10 million in sales, but has to pay only $2 million in fines. This is not even a slap-on-the-wrist.

Cheated on an ethics exam.

North America offers many off-road touring opportunities. For example, the Great Divide route runs 2,100 miles from Canada to New Mexico, running almost entirely over unpaved roads. And New York has the 350-mile Erie canal trail.

You would think if anyone understood the problem of eWaste it would be Sen Laird. From his Bio:

"Laird served as a member of the State Integrated Waste Management Board from 2008 to 2009 and taught state environmental policy at University of California Santa Cruz."

They are claiming 90% risk reduction based on a laboratory model. That model obviously does not track with reality (show me any country where bike helmets reduced death/injury by that amount). If a model does not correlate with the real world, then it is by definition...junk.

This is junk science. The authors simply did the ANSI drop-test in a lab test. In the real-world, 99% of bike crashes with death/severe injury are the result of car-crashes -- which the ANSI drop-test does not model correctly at all.

LOL...they are not supposed to break like that.

Belarus.

The main benefit of trams is that multiple cars can be coupled together.

There is a weight sensor built into the front passenger seat.

The real crime is that "safety" regulators still require a child be kept in the back seat. It is an outdated regulation that makes no sense, unless your car is more than 10 years old.

SOMA would have developed regardless, and it is nonsense to suggest tech companies want to locate near baseball stadiums.

Older cars do have firmware, which may require updates.

Is that a serious question? World War 2 for starters...

Russia has always in been conflict with Western powers, and has been invaded on several occasions.

Road safety measures would benefit all road users, not just cyclists. Around 40,000 Americans are killed each year on the roads, and 1% of the population are injured seriously enough to require medical attention. Those are scary large numbers, and the fact that the country has gotten accustomed to this is really unbelievable.

In theory, single payer should offer more choices. With private insurance, you are stuck with certain doctors and hospitals, and can only change plans at years-end.

Left leaning politicians also send their kids to private schools which did not shut down.
