By automated vehicles, I’m assuming they are meaning the vehicles with the ProPilot option pack - their Level 2/3 equivalent of Tesla’s Autopilot.

It started out on teh Leaf, and then moved to the Qashqai/Rogue Sport.  Presumably it’s going to be added to more models.

MLB Evo, MEB anf J1 are all ‘batteries between axles’ designs.  It would be astonishing if PPE was not.

It depends on the jurisdiction.

Some recognise that tere are really three types of spaces: public property, private property operated in such a way as to be in effect privately owned public spaces; and private property. 

“I missed this at first....you’re stating that the Tesla literally is collecting video AT ALL TIMES.”

Yes - collecting and discarding, at the same time. The newest stuff is collected. The oldest stuff is discarded, unless something happens and it gets flagged as “keep it”.

What Car? just announced its annual reliability survery results, of 18,000-odd cars.

Most problematic part of cars this year? Non-engine electricals.
Least reliable car in the survey? An EV.

Either way, they took a walk on the wild side.
:-)

The Model Y is in effect, just a Model 3 hatch. It’s about as different from the 3 as a VW Golf Plus is from a VW Golf.

You are citing breaking alternators as a demonstration of how EVs will be more reliable?  Alternators are just electric motors running in regen mode.

Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Kia, Jaguar, Hyundai, Mercedes, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Vauxhall and Volkswagen all use the same non-proprietary charger - CCS. (In the USA it uses an extended J1772 plug).. Ford, FCA and the rest of GM and VW group will all use it when they have vehicles that use rapid DC charging.

Ford have showed off an electric F-series prototype. They had it pull a train

150kW charging then.  Maybe 175kW

What Car? recently published their 2019 Reliability survey of 18,000-odd vehicles.

The biggest reliability problem? Non-engine electrical problems.

One of the least-reliable vehicles (of all kinds) was the Renault Zoe EV.  (Just for comparison, it was less reliable than the least reliable Jaguar.

I hope he gets a huge bonus for that - a significant fraction of the damage-repair bill that would have been needed for the aircraft that almost got hit.

But I also think the odds are small.

The thing about universal health care, or comparisons of healtcare costs between nations, healthcare costs as a % of GDP is the most useful.
The equivalent 2017 figure for the USA is 17.9%. - or 60% higher than the German level.

Despite spending less than 2/3rds the % of GDP, the Germans are providing healthcare to the

1-litre I3T Ford Ecoboost into a Triumph Spitfire. Original had 53hp. Transplant gives 99hp or 123hp. I’ve been thinking of this one a lot since the Spitfife was in Nice Price or Crack Pipe.  I’ve even found myself googling prices for the motor and unloved Spitfires...

The braking capacity of regenerative systems is limited by the free (i.e. uncharged ) capacity of the battery. It only works when the battery is sufficiently discharged.

I think you meant ‘cachet’
