1/2 Glasgow Council thinks it's good because it will close a limited number of city centre roads for 6 hours, whilst simultaneously allowing #Ford Motors to cover itself in a cloud of #greenwash
#Ford in order not to accidentally store images of passerby taken by vehicles decided the best way around it is to recognize their faces and store them with a unique ID unified among all vehicles which may have recorded the same person, is such way that if that person asks they'll be able to remove all images from their database.

Every EV maker looked at the oh-so-sweet margins Tesla had, and all of them then decided to not only create "premium" EVs. but also price them with Tesla-like margins.
They forgot a simple thing: most people don't buy luxury cars.
They purchase vehicles that fit their wallets.
Now, the entire EV field is having a reset.
Worse even, offshore manufacturers with their lower production costs are at the door.
It was only May 23 that this deal was announced and less than a year later ford users have access to teslas supercharger network
