“Juanita Vidal, 71, was crossing Eldert Street near Knickerbocker Avenue with her 44-year-old daughter at around 5 p.m. Thursday when she was fatally struck by 2024 Mazda CX5 speeding away from police, officials said.”
Did you know that in 1884 that the first production-standard electric car capable of being reproduced and sold to the public was unveiled? Did you know that in the early 1900s 1/3 of all vehicles on the road were electric? They started to quickly disappear around 1920 with the introduction of petrol and Henry Ford.
Ferdinand Porsche produced an electric vehicle called 'P' in 1898.
We have a car lease expiring soon, and I'd REALLY like to replace it with a hybrid. It's a Nissan Rogue, and we need something about that size/configuration.
I resent needing to own a car; Canada is far too car-centric.
Toyota, Kia, Honda all have decent hybrid
Toyota, Kia, Honda don't have any stock, and the wait times are 5-12 months
Seems like there's a missed opportunity here for someone making hybrids…
#Cars#Privacy#DataProtection#Honda#Surveillance: "I wanted to turn off data collection on my car because it’s creepy and I thought the option would be simple. It turns out that shutting off data collection and figuring out what’s been collected is much more difficult than it would seem. I know because it took me — a reasonably informed and technologically savvy person — a month to finally do so.
I’m in good company.
“It’s comically difficult,” Thorin Klosowski, a security and privacy activist at Electronic Frontier Foundation, who’s written about how to do just this, told me. “I do this for a living and I am not 100% positive I have gotten everything correct, which is ridiculous.”
In March, my husband and I bought a new Honda. When I turned on the car to leave the dealership, I got a notification telling me that data sharing was on. Right next to “on” was an “off” button. Simple enough! But when I hit “off” I got a message telling me it was “unable to change settings while network is invalid.” Right.
My children were screaming at me from the back seat, so I assumed this was a problem I could easily fix another time."
Got $800k+ burning a hole in your pocket? Want to buy a car that you can brag about and trailer to car shows but never drive? Then this #LFA may be for you!
I’m not sure what this is. The badge says “Carrera RS” but the 964 Carrera RS was never sold in the US (I guess they could have imported it), and besides it had a big old wing. The 964 RS America had a whale tail. I wish I had the chance to talk to the owner! #cars#photography#carspotting
