Europe versus Cars

An anti-car (and pro-people) account focused on Europe. Might occasionally indulge in US-bashing.

They wish it was just sub 73. Has anyone checked on Saylor? I lost 15% of his phone number today.

I honestly blame this whole Greenland thing on the Mercator projection.

Hi Katie, sorry for the off topic question, but I would like your take on it. Do you think the 2022 TPI mechanism from the ECB is the main driver of rates convergence in European countries yields, and that it turns the EU into a de facto lender of last resort? How is this not a fiscal union?

Cybertruck Owners Only
Joe Sawyer β€’ 19h β€’ O

Had an issue stopping my Cybertruck from a low speed the other day and had to make a choice to crash it or risk going tumbling down a mountain to probable death. Sucks to see, but it held up well and only a few minor scrapes and bruises.
Still going over every choice made and trying to understand why it would not stop and was gaining speed from 5 mph to 12+ while on the brakes. ABS was probably hurting more than helping on this 26Β° downhill angle. Hoping to be able to talk to someone at Tesla as I have the crash recorder data already.

[cybertruck upside down like the shitty little brick it is

Tesla’s β€˜Mad Max mode’ points to a big problem for self-driving cars Mad Max mode exposes a risk for AV innovation. To stay competitive, computer-powered cars are emulating human drivers.

Cars are now being programmed to violate traffic rules. What could go wrong?

It is shocking to see a pro-trade columnist advocating (with reason) for the balkanization of the internet for fear of weaponization. And yet here we are.

Katie, any insight on the role of passive investment and ETF adoption on the eerie stability and lack of fundamentals in these trying times?

I was born and raised in a medium size city divided in two by a highway. One side was rich and the other was poor. And to each side, the other was invisible. It would have been unfathomable to my 12yo to imagine having a friend from the other side.

Robotaxi companies claiming that their technology will shrink private car ownership are the transportation equivalent of Juul claiming their vapes were only supposed to replace smoking. The cynicism is the same, and it is revolting.

Katie, are there studies about how the rise of ETFs and passive investment is affecting fundamentals? Once a company goes to S&P500, who decides to sell the ETF when its fundamentals are poor? Doesn't this create nefarious inertia to markets?

We have had electric self-driving vehicles in Europe for decades, I take one to work every day. America is building a poor solution to a problem of their own making.

Every morning I take an electric self-driving vehicle to work, we've had them for almost two decades in Paris by now.

What a ridiculous piece. I've been taking an electric self-driving vehicle to work in Paris for years now. Fewer than 11% of trips are made by cars here, this author heavily misses the point. @dlknowles.bsky.social
