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.

This Jain mandir has created huge trouble on the one-way road, all the cars are coming from the wrong side, and there is no traffic management. The Mumbai traffic police are also of no help my car was stuck for like 20 minutes in this rain just to move ahead. BEST Bus was behind me luckily I somehow squeezed inside and may be must be little 12” gap maximum to move ahead and in front of me there were almost 3-4 cars back to back coming from the wrong side. This is unacceptable If you have a festival hire a valet company! Every year it’s the same! I dunno what the Mumbai traffic police are doing? Mumbai Traffic Police plz look into this and talk to them! The 2nd video is just after clearing a bit! After confronting the driver he said, " Sorry, madam” But still kept moving ahead. Ward RC BMC

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.

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.

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

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?

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%.

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.

🚨 France put two FSD cars on its own roads after talking with Elon • Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot: months of technical work with Tesla, then a constructive exchange with Elon • Two FSD-equipped cars now running French roads so Paris can check the data itself • Tests due mid to late September. An EU technical vote can land as early as October 6 • Netherlands opened first. Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania already followed • Tesla logged 100 million km of FSD Supervised in those five countries. Collision rate there is about 4.1x lower than manual Teslas July’s line from Paris was that the safety trade-off was not good enough. September’s line is road testing. That is a real shift. Europe does not need another demo video. It needs a large country to sit in the car and then vote. France just started that process. The software has been driving European roads for months. Most of the map is still waiting for a yes.
