Cycled to Tottenham Hale today to catch train to work. All 3 routes given on maps were outside LTNS. Unless i wanted to increase distance traveled and add time to my traveling time LTN have no benefit. Looking into roads inside I could see no active travel and cars being washed …. Lots of 4x4s and CRVs by the way…. So as a cyclist I now cycled in increased congestion, danger in a hostile environment while seeing buses move at a snail’s pace. The lies of how wonderful it is are just gaslighting. We see serious incidents almost on a daily basis. While when roadworks, or a incident occurs we see a complete road network breakdown. Children, families and all living outside LTNs HAVE been truly sacrificed by middle class self gainers who believe harming children just like mine for their own benefit is deemed fair play. LTN advocates who live within LTNs post crap of how wonderful but never the about the harm pushed upon outsiders. Funny that …. Here is more footage from outside LTN a couple of days ago.

Aston Martin DBS 770 number 17 of 300. Aston Martin V12 Vantage number 59 of 333. Me and my brother are tearing through Romania in two collector edition cars. 6-hour drive, two days in a row. Smoking the finest cigars. Racing over potholes, bumping the wheels, chipping the paint. TEARING THROUGH the mountains, driving the cars how they were meant to be driven. There is a difference between owning an Aston Martin and BEING an Aston Martin man. Every other one of these cars is sitting in a garage somewhere in the world, owned by men who just want to have them. Me and my brother are the only ones EXPERIENCING THEM. Driving them how they were meant to be driven, using them how the engineers envisioned them to be used. Pushing the cars to their absolute limits in the mountain roads, Bugs smashing onto the windscreens and kicking pebbles up in the wake. This is more than just about the cars, It's about LIFE. What's the point of the money and the power when you're too afraid to use it? The point of being rich is to NOT CARE about money. What's the point of buying a car you're scared to drive? What's the point of earning money you're afraid to spend? FREEDOM is the goal. Money and power are FREEING. But most men make it their prison. The watches, the houses, the cars, I don't buy them to hopefully sell them later. I buy them to EXPERIENCE them. You only get one shot in this life, don't be afraid to use it.

Eventually, every car will have better internet than your house used to. Starlink is the only realistic way to give billions of cars the huge amount of bandwidth they’ll actually need. Not just for music and maps. Autonomous cars will be constantly moving AI data, downloading updates and staying connected wherever the road takes them. Starlink itself is heading toward 100,000+ satellites, direct-to-cell and future versions with up to 50x today’s throughput. Losing signal on a road trip could become very old-school.

NEW: Two toddlers in their diapers walk away fine after being thrown from a Jeep that had flipped on a Texas highway. "The kids stood alone, a good sign. Just scrapped up," the man who originally shared the post on FB said. "Deputies responded to a major crash on the main lanes of the East Freeway at Freeport. A two-car crash where one of the cars flipped over several times causing ejection," said Ed Gonzalez on X. "The car was occupied by one adult and two children. They are being transported to a hospital. No reported injuries to the occupants in the other car." The incident reportedly happened on the Interstate 10 East Freeway in Freeport, Texas.

People who say “don’t honk much” are completely wrong. I took my car out and, by chance, the horn wasn’t working. I couldn’t drive for more than an hour. Bikes and e-rickshaws assumed I was just cruising, so they saw no reason to give way. It felt like cars were about to crash into me. I don’t usually honk much, but this experience was a nightmare. Try driving in India for just one hour without a horn and then tell me your review. The truth is, we Indians simply can’t survive on the roads without honking that’s the reality!

🚨 JUST IN: In a massive FAFO moment, President Trump is SLAPPING 25% tariffs on the European Union's cars and trucks after they failed to abide by the trade deal Trump is going HARDBALL on the EU! "It is fully understood and agreed that, if they produce Cars and Trucks in U.S.A. Plants, there will be NO TARIFF. Many Automobile and Truck Plants are currently under construction, with over 100 Billion Dollars being invested, A RECORD in the History of Car and Truck Manufacturing." "These Plants, staffed with American Workers, will be opening soon — There has never been anything like what is happening in America today! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Look at how American children live! I filmed this on my way home from New York City after attending the World Falun Dafa Day parade a few days ago. I happened to get stuck behind a school bus, which kept stopping and delayed me quite a bit — but it also gave me a chance to closely observe the happy lives of these children. As you can see, the school bus drops each child off right at their home. Sometimes two houses are only five or ten meters apart, yet the bus still stops separately for each family. It doesn’t try to save time by dropping the children somewhere in between and making them walk home on their own. Around the 10-second mark in the video, you can see a small child get off the bus and cross the street to go home. That’s why in the United States, whenever a school bus stops, not only must all the cars behind it stop, but even the cars coming from the opposite direction must stop as well — all to ensure children can cross the road safely. I filmed both of these clips from inside my car. I was quite amazed that day, but I hadn’t had time to share them until now. Today I finally wanted to show everyone. This is what a society built for people looks like! And compare American children's lives with those of Chinese children! A follower of my Chinese language account 曾錚 says that a lot of Chinese middle and high-school students are just like prisoners, and their parents are only allowed to visit them at school once a month!

Had a few questions about Turn 12 in 2026, and to illustrate it further here is a video of Rosberg’s 2014 pole through the same corner. We see a very similar trait in the W05 through Turn 12, where Rosberg stops accelerating (briefly) and starts to clip at 251kph towards the apex whilst on full throttle. Mind you, this is in Q3, peak track conditions, no fuel in the car and maximum deployment. What we see from Antonelli is a slightly more extreme version of this - clipping at 241kph. It also must be said, Antonelli’s lap was during testing, not full qualifying mode, 40 degree track temperature and a bit of fuel in the car. Come Q3, the 2026 car will exhibit very similar traits to the 14-16 cars and as the engines get more developed over time, it will be a non-issue. Not to mention, the 2026 cars have slightly more downforce than the 14-16 cars and are faster on the straights. So they are still net improvement in my opinion. To bring up Allison’s point once more - the experienced drivers such as Alonso, Hamilton and Verstappen have had their muscle memory of the old era of cars completely wiped out. They do not remember that this was perfectly normal pre-2017. Alonso complaining that he can no longer take Turn 12 at 280kph is extremely baffling - as this has never been the norm.

In India, we show maximum EGO on our roads! Cars were already crossing a narrow bridge when a Santro driver came from the opposite side. Instead of backing up, he decided to stand his ground and waited for over an hour. Even an Army convoy had to eventually move back just to satisfy his ego! It was a matter of a few seconds and a little compromise, but one person’s ego ended up harassing and blocking so many people for more than an hour. But why? Is proving your ego on the road really worth wasting everyone’s time?

Are you safer with LIDAR, or are you safer with vision? This is a false dichotomy. The more pertinent question today is "do you have something, or do you have nothing?" As you can see from the clips below, vision based systems avoid countless potential collisions every day. The difference between a crash and no crash isn't what sensor suite you chose — it's whether you have any AI on your car at all. Even if we concede that LIDAR may help prevent some additional crashes, we are really debating whether it is 1% of crashes or 0.00001% of crashes. Not all crashes are super complex and require lasers to detect. Most are simple, routine, and can easily be prevented by today's vision based AI. In fact, evidence is mounting that computer vision based systems can actually outperform more traditional approaches to self-driving. Why? Because the low cost of cameras enables you to create a much larger, more varied, and more diverse dataset. If you want to have expensive custom cars that's fine, but you're going to get fewer vehicles for the same budget. Seeing what's in front of you now is actually less important than predicting what's going to happen next — and the large scale datasets used to train pure vision systems are the best for predicting what's next. Counter-intuitively, the simpler and lower cost sensor actually has properties that make it better suited for training advanced AI. Computer vision based self-driving is often framed by LIDAR proponents as "cheaping out" on the sensor suite to save money. But it's not about being cheap, it's about bringing the technology to everyone. 1.2 million people die on the road every year around the world. That's around 39 million people who've died on the roads around the world since I was born — equivalent to a city the size of Tokyo or New Delhi getting wiped off the map. The status quo is simply unacceptable, and something has to be done to fix it as soon as possible. Of the 1.2 million people that will die on the roads this year, about 40,000 will be Americans. That's about 3%. So if we moved entirely to self-driving cars in America and brought crashes down to 0, 97% of the world's crash fatalities would still be taking place as usual. Deploying a $200,000+ retrofitted self-driving car may work in a few American cities, but it is not going to make sense in most places around the world where fares are much cheaper. Most often, the choice is not between LIDAR and vision. It's between vision or nothing. The best system is the system that's there running on my car when I need it to save my life. To say that all self-driving cars must have LIDAR is to sentence most of the world to death. We can't write off computer vision if we want to make a serious dent in this problem. It's going to be a key piece of the solution. Let LIDAR based players build the best self-driving car they can, and let vision based players do the same. We need to be trying everything

Sir, you can't park there.... 👀 "According to Sgt. Greg Moffitt with Sandy PD an adult man had purchased a car from Tim Dahle Mazda in Sandy Monday morning. But after finding some mechanical issues he was trying to return it. Sgt. Moffitt also said the dealership had sold the vehicle “as is” and refused to take the car back. The man then said if they wouldn’t give him his money back then he was going to drive through the front door. So, a little after 4pm the male did exactly that. No one was reported as injured and the damage to the building didn’t threaten the structure. The man was arrested and booked for Felony Criminal Mischief and Reckless Endangerment." -KSL News #utah #CityLife #Sandy #car #cars #dealership #warranty #mazda

NEW: High school anti-ICE protester runs in front of a moving car that was flying a Trump flag, gets knocked to the ground. The incident happened at Fremont High School in Nebraska. The student's mother is fuming at school officials for failing to prevent the protest, arguing that children are too young to make informed decisions. "First of all, I don’t feel she’s informed enough to have made a decision like the one that she made by doing a protest," the mother said. "I don’t feel that any of the young people that were involved know enough about what’s going on to do or set up a protest because I feel they don’t know what they’re protesting." The female student is recovering with bumps and bruises. Don't run in front of moving cars, kids.

Just finished a one-week trip to China. I've now "survived" all the major (~20) L2 self-driving and robotaxi vehicles in both the US and China. Some thoughts & observations: ▶️L2 self-driving I tested major brands like $Huawei, $Li, $NIO, $Xpeng, and $Xiaomi. Overall, they exceeded my expectations. The rides were not overly cautious and handled complex situations (yes, road conditions in China are very challenging!) quite well. Nothing compares to $Tsla's approach. I see imitation learning/end-to-end as the only effective approach for self-driving. While Chinese peers perform well on main roads, they struggle on frontage roads due to reliance on high-precision maps and rule-based methods (e.g. cars stopped in the middle of the road where there was no clear white lining). Chinese EVs' self-driving capabilities are far ahead of those from US and EU brands. I doubt any Chinese players can profit from L2 self-driving, not because it’s not useful, but because it’s hard to differentiate, and price wars dominate the market in China. Chinese consumers and regulators seem much more receptive to self-driving. Even with a 5/10 self-driving capability, cars are practically *hands-free(!)* Insurance-wise, for L3+ cars, OEMs bear responsibility for incidents, so OEMs avoid labeling cars as L3+. ▶️Robotaxi I tested major brands like $Didi, and $Bidu. I'd rate equal to $Waymo, and it's ahead of other peers. However, the same issue applies here: user experience is nearly perfect (in Yizhuang, Beijing), but expansion is the real question. Chinese robotaxi companies are very sophisticated. While the rest of the world focuses on technology, Chinese peers treat it as a product, considering unit economics, operations, mass production, etc. Interestingly, most companies expressed a preference NOT to operate fleets themselves. They aim to be asset-light and let fleet managers handle operations. Policy Support: China has a very clear approval process, driven by data (autonomous driving distance, fully driverless distance, intervention rate, passenger ratings, etc.). ▶️Chinese EVs In major cities like Beijing or Shanghai, EV adoption (green license plates vs. gas cars with blue license plates) seems to be 40%+. If 40% of cars on the road are EVs, then EV penetration (defined as the % of new car sales) must already be over 50%. In shopping malls, the ground floor is filled with EV showrooms—easily 10+ brands, many of which are unfamiliar Chinese brands. It appears almost too easy to make an electric car, which is a stark contrast to the US. $Xiaomi, for example, can achieve a 10% gross profit margin in its first year of operation, compared to $RIVN's -45%. Additionally, $Xiaomi cars are priced at 30% of $RIVN's price. It's fascinating to see how China transitioned from "couldn't make their own gas cars at all (only JVs)" to "dominating EVs globally." The government deserves credit for setting the direction and executing effectively. China now controls the entire supply chain, with $CATL holding 40% of the global market share. 🔹How did it happen? The success of the industry Incentives were set just right: the government provided incentives early on to make EVs and gas cars have comparable MSRPs, allowing consumers to choose based on functionality. This approach differs from how the IRA offers incentives... Perfectly competitive market: $TSLA was brought in, and competition was welcomed, unlike the US, which has a 100% import tax on Chinese EVs. Strategic regulations: License plate restrictions were used effectively; for example, taxis and minivans are required to be EVs. 🔹The challenges Despite the success, the industry faces challenges with low-margin companies and struggling stocks.

Just finished a one-week trip to China. I've now "survived" all the major (~20) L2 self-driving and robotaxi vehicles in both the US and China. Some thoughts & observations: ▶️L2 self-driving I tested major brands like $Huawei, $Li, $NIO, $Xpeng, and $Xiaomi. Overall, they exceeded my expectations. The rides were not overly cautious and handled complex situations (yes, road conditions in China are very challenging!) quite well. Nothing compares to $Tsla's approach. I see imitation learning/end-to-end as the only effective approach for self-driving. While Chinese peers perform well on main roads, they struggle on frontage roads due to reliance on high-precision maps and rule-based methods (e.g. cars stopped in the middle of the road where there was no clear white lining). Chinese EVs' self-driving capabilities are far ahead of those from US and EU brands. I doubt any Chinese players can profit from L2 self-driving, not because it’s not useful, but because it’s hard to differentiate, and price wars dominate the market in China. Chinese consumers and regulators seem much more receptive to self-driving. Even with a 5/10 self-driving capability, cars are practically *hands-free(!)* Insurance-wise, for L3+ cars, OEMs bear responsibility for incidents, so OEMs avoid labeling cars as L3+. ▶️Robotaxi I tested major brands like $Didi, and $Bidu. I'd rate equal to $Waymo, and it's ahead of other peers. However, the same issue applies here: user experience is nearly perfect (in Yizhuang, Beijing), but expansion is the real question. Chinese robotaxi companies are very sophisticated. While the rest of the world focuses on technology, Chinese peers treat it as a product, considering unit economics, operations, mass production, etc. Interestingly, most companies expressed a preference NOT to operate fleets themselves. They aim to be asset-light and let fleet managers handle operations. Policy Support: China has a very clear approval process, driven by data (autonomous driving distance, fully driverless distance, intervention rate, passenger ratings, etc.). ▶️Chinese EVs In major cities like Beijing or Shanghai, EV adoption (green license plates vs. gas cars with blue license plates) seems to be 40%+. If 40% of cars on the road are EVs, then EV penetration (defined as the % of new car sales) must already be over 50%. In shopping malls, the ground floor is filled with EV showrooms—easily 10+ brands, many of which are unfamiliar Chinese brands. It appears almost too easy to make an electric car, which is a stark contrast to the US. $Xiaomi, for example, can achieve a 10% gross profit margin in its first year of operation, compared to $RIVN's -45%. Additionally, $Xiaomi cars are priced at 30% of $RIVN's price. It's fascinating to see how China transitioned from "couldn't make their own gas cars at all (only JVs)" to "dominating EVs globally." The government deserves credit for setting the direction and executing effectively. China now controls the entire supply chain, with $CATL holding 40% of the global market share. 🔹How did it happen? The success of the industry Incentives were set just right: the government provided incentives early on to make EVs and gas cars have comparable MSRPs, allowing consumers to choose based on functionality. This approach differs from how the IRA offers incentives... Perfectly competitive market: $TSLA was brought in, and competition was welcomed, unlike the US, which has a 100% import tax on Chinese EVs. Strategic regulations: License plate restrictions were used effectively; for example, taxis and minivans are required to be EVs. 🔹The challenges Despite the success, the industry faces challenges with low-margin companies and struggling stocks. The intense competition shows no sign of ending. Well-funded global OEMs and Chinese state-owned car companies continue to subsidize, leading to new EV brands emerging annually. The natural tendency in China is to race to the bottom. I think this ties back to China's history as the "world’s factory," where manufacturers price products at "cost plus" versus the US and developing countries, which price based on "affordability/value creation." 🔹The wow EV feature >Software features that surprised me the most: - Everything in the car can be voice-controlled.

Here is the guy and the two ladies stopping traffic in the middle of the street. You can hear him yelling at the person in the white SUV. You can see the border patrol agents parked across the street in front of the place where they were going to arrest the criminal illegal alien and coming out of their cars. You can then see the two women go right towards the agent who was by his car and stand in front of him obstructing an active operation. It can't be seen in this video but we know from other videos that the guy went across the street to the area where the agents were. The two women and the guy all inserted themselves in an active operation. This is dangerous for officers and for the public. These officers have only a few minutes to get in there, execute the warrant, arrest the illegal alien (who may be armed since he is a criminal) and pull him out into their car. These people are going after these officers with loud whistles, blocking traffic, confronting them. The people out there applauding this behavior, saying that it is citizens' right to do that, or instigating it are putting civilians in danger.

A new EV in the offing SERES 3 is going to be launched (locally assembled) soon in Pakistan. The expected launching price is PKR 9 million. I was given the opportunity to test drive the car. Here is my take: Like any other EV it is a more economical, soundless, and environmentally friendly car with a thrill of enjoying instant torque – I did 0 to 100 in 9 seconds (video attached). According to the manufacturers – in ideal conditions – the range is 400 km in full charge (battery capacity is 50 kwh). My experience is doing approx. 300 Km in Lahore traffic. Assuming electricity cost of Rs60/Kwh, the cost/Km is Rs9 which is 1/3rd of Sportage (the car I drive). Additionally, there is no engine maintenance cost, which makes it more economical (calculation comparison with Sportage FWD is attached). EV is the best driving option to improve the environment in your city – especially in smoggy Lahore. The biggest issue people have with EV is range anxiety – We as a family used this car for our daily errands and school runs and there was no stress for two days if we drove 80–100Km a day. The second biggest issue is that of charging. We charged this at home during the night -started charging after 11 PM (to avoid peak hour) and by 6 AM in the morning, the car is fully charged (from 30% to 100%) – hence, within city, there is no need to find a charging station. I may not prefer it on the long route – though technically it can run easily from Lahore to Bhera and within 30-40 mins charging there, the car would cruise to Islamabad. It’s a Chinese car, and I don’t like ICE Chinese cars; but in case of EV, it is a doable option. Chinese auto players are better in EV technology than Japanese and others. SERES has a very good road grip, very decent interior, and a good family car. My driver wants me to replace the one he usually drives with this one because of the cost saved in petrol. My gas guzzler-loving friends also approve of this eco-friendlier model. It’s going to be a new and exciting addition to the locally assembled cars. Good luck to Regal Motors.

🇺🇸 This is the Tesla Model Y in full self-driving mode on the roads of Austin. But the interesting part isn't the car; it's what FSD could eventually do to our concept of distance. Imagine living 200 miles from your office and barely caring about the commute because the car handles most of the driving. Imagine being able to cross states overnight while you relax, work, or eventually sleep, turning journeys that once required flights, hotels, and careful planning into something approaching a very long elevator ride. For more than a century, cars gave us freedom of movement. Autonomy could give us freedom from the driving itself. Writers: Mhedi, Ian
