What a weirdo.

Please stop sourcing your links from cbs news.

The braking with one pedal driving is much more immediate. The car doesn’t really coast. Instead, you slowly let off the accelerator and the car drags to a stop. It takes a while to get good at, kind of the same way you have to get good at letting off a clutch in a stick shift. If you let off the accelerator abruptly, you will feel the car braking immediately. You have to let off slowly. Trying to drive the traditional way while this feature is turned on creates the “seasick” lunge.

Sorry if I’m not good at describing it. If you get a chance to test drive an EV that includes this option, try it. I mostly keep this feature turned off on my EV because I don’t really see any improvement in range with having it on.

There’s a video demonstrating it here:

I don’t think they care. I think at this point they just want to sell high margin SUVs and trucks, and to leave the other market segments to other manufacturers. Ford doesn’t even sell sedans in the US anymore. They’ve decided cars like hybrid sedans and econoboxes don’t make them enough money.

What might be making them sick is one pedal driving. It’s off by default. This option allows the driver to immediately apply regenerative breaking when letting off the accelerator pedal.

When this option is turned off, an EV coasts just like any other car.

Sounds tacky. Dahmer was a real person who did horrible things.

Not sure if this is true anymore. DFW is fairly red now. East Tx has always been red. Latinos along the border have been voting red in spite of themselves (such as Uvalde and Laredo).

I have no idea how West Texas votes these days.

Houston and Austin areas are consistently blue.

Didn’t this dude write “Look Homeward Angel”? One of the worst books I have ever had to slog my way through. Maybe he shouldn’t be talking about wasting talent.

This sounds like the “one pedal driving” feature. Which you can turn off. It’s not on by default (at least for the EV model I drive)— EVs can coast just like combustion cars.

That’s ok. They’re taking away digital content too. So far just movies, not games (yet).

Vomit.

The specific mention of AI in this tech note makes me wonder if this is related to the recent iMessage database pilfering claim made about Meta.
