Such automation efforts may give Chinese automakers a significant edge in competitiveness as global EV adoption continues to rise—even as US automakers have already been retreating from EV production in the wake of the Trump administration's decisions.
大多数人认为美国在电动汽车技术和生产方面领先全球，但作者提出中国通过大规模自动化在电动汽车制造方面获得竞争优势，而美国反而正在退缩，这与美国科技霸权的主流认知相悖。
Trillions of miles of data: Your car is spying on you, and it's only just the beginning
Plug-iny nie tak czyste, jak obiecywano. Dane z UE podważają ekologiczny wizerunek
Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are not as environmentally friendly as previously claimed, according to recent EU data.
Im neuesten Entwurf des Aktionsplans für die europäische Automobilindustrie wird das sogenannte Verbrennerverbot nicht mehr erwähnt. Auch bei den Flottengrenzwerten für den Treibhausgasausstoß werden die Bestimmungen weiter gelockert. Die EVP Renew Europe und die deutsche Automobilindustrie sind Ha uptaktdierere hinter dieser Auffachung der europäischen Klimapolitik. https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000263785/neuer-kommissionsentwurf-wird-das-verbrenner-aus-bald-endgueltig-gekippt
Zu den Gründen für die Krise bei VW gehören der zu langsame Umstieg auf Elektromobilität und der Stopp der Förderung von Elektoautos durch die deutsche Regierung. Jetzt will die Bundesregierung teure Elektro-Dienstwagen steuerlich begünstigen. https://taz.de/Sparplaene-bei-Volkswagen/!6031275/
Die EU hat nicht erreicht, dass Mittel aus dem Inflation Reduction Act auch zur Subventionierung des Kaufs von aus der EU gelieferten privaten E-Autos verwendet werden. Bei der Entscheidung der USA, die in der EU-Wirtschaft vielfach als protektionistisch bewertet wird, spielt die Herkunft von Mineralien eine große Rolle. Die Verhandlungen über das Critical Minerals Agreement (CMA) führten nicht zu einer Einigung. Der Handelsblatt-Artikel stellt den komplexen Hintergrund ausführlich dar und berichtet auch über weitere Verhandlungen.
Eine Studie zeigt, dass die CO2-Emissionen deutscher Neuwagen 14,1% höher sind, als es die Hersteller angeben. 2018 lag der Unterschied durchschnittlich bei 7,7%. https://taz.de/CO2-Werte-neuer-Fahrzeuge/!5985888/
Der Einfluss der Automobilindustrie ist einer der Hauptgründe dafür, dass die Verkehrsemissionen in Deutschland nicht zurückgehen.

Crosley's intent for his car was well summarized by his proclamation "You wouldn't cross a river in a battleship," nor would you want to cross town in a large family car just to purchase groceries or have coffee with a friend.
I'm afraid I'm having a problem coming up with any other reference (aside from the latest Grand Tour episode) to corroborate this quote...
Vor allem der Druck Frankreichs und Italiens hat eine Verschärfung der europäischen Abgasnormen für die Automobilindustrie verhindert, wie sie die Europäische Kommission geplant hatte. Damit soll die europäische Industrie vor allem angesichts der Konkurrenz bei Elektroautos aus den USA und China geschützt werden. In der EU ist Luftverschmutzung im Jahr für 70 000 Todesfälle mitverantwortlich, 98% der Stadtbewohner:innen sind zu hohen Feinstaubmengen ausgesetzt. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/pollution/pendant-que-macron-parle-environnement-la-france-empeche-lue-dabaisser-les-normes-de-pollution-des-voitures-20230926_GDIL5OWTEVDUXMIAN2467ZMDEU/
Your alternator is NOT a chargerThe alternator’s job is to supply the power needed for all electrical items on the vehicle, plus replenish the battery from the last start up. The alternator is not a battery charger so much as it is a battery maintainer. If the alternator has to recharge an overly discharged battery, the alternator will become over-worked, which will shorten its life.If you use your alternator to charge your dead battery, you will overheat the alternator during its charging process. The greater the amperage flowing through it, the higher the heat an alternator creates.Maximum Alternator Output Only Occurs at high RPMSAfter you start your car with jumper cables, the voltage regulator sees a discharged battery and commands maximum field in the rotor. But at 600 RPM, the alternator can only provide about 1/4th of its rated output. Let it idle for a long period and all you’ll do it overheat the rotor windings and burn up your expensive alternator. A 110-amp alternator can only output 110-amps at RPMS of 2,500 or more. So don’t even think about letting it idle to recharge the battery.A battery charger costs $40. A new Alternator $350Not exactly brain surgery, is it?The correct way to deal with this situation is to jump the battery (using a jumper pack is much safer than jumper cables) and driving it to a place where you can place a REAL battery charger on the battery.
Is this outdated info?
According to https://hyp.is/n7ZQpFF0Ee24ZbcIYA3xVQ/www.reddit.com/r/Cartalk/comments/aoks7b/how_much_idling_needed_after_jump_start_to/ it is. Which advice should we trust?
Your Alternator Is Not A ChargerYes, you read that right. An alternator is designed to MAINTAIN your car battery, not recharge it from a deeply discharged state. Its designed to run at only 35-50% of its fully rated output. When you use your cars alternator to recharge a dead battery, you force it to run at nearly 100% of its rated capacity and that overheats the alternator and dramatically shortens its life.
This was the opinion also of https://hyp.is/YNQwwlF0Ee206UcS3HYLnA/www.reddit.com/r/Cartalk/comments/aoks7b/how_much_idling_needed_after_jump_start_to/
but are they misinformed?
This was much more of an issue a generation ago, when your ‘74 Chevy Nova or ‘69 Ford F-100 had a 35 amp alternator. Any car made in the last 15-20 years will have a 75 amp alternator as a bare minimum, and ratings well north of 100 amps are common in larger vehicles.There’s dozens of amps of headroom to charge the battery at idle speed, especially if you turn off the lights, stereo, HVAC, etc. That said, it’ll charge even more quickly if you drive the car.
This seems like more sound/trustworthy advice than the replied-to's advice/info.
Third, as he explains, he actually doesn’t like driving. Not this kind, the kind the rest of us do, with traffic in two directions, and pedestrians, and junctions, and nothing clear-cut to prove. In fact, he rarely does it. “I just think that I find it stressful,” he says. “I try not to do things that don’t add to my life.” And then he adds—a statement said with sincerity—“Look, we’re on these roads, anything can happen.”
Apologies if this comes off as cruel, but it is just Plain Dumb to indulge this reaction to people in motorsports expressing disdain/anxiety regarding driving on These Got Damned Streets.
They have literally been saying it... over and over again... for more than half the history of the whole idea.
That said, what bothers me most is that we somehow manage to continue remarking car man don't like car!! haha! while managing to not reflect on what - if anything - that might indicate about this thing we do that is vaguely adjacent to what they're basically professors in.
As in, actual authorities in technique.
Level 0 is no automation whatsoever. Level 1 is partial assistance with certain aspects of driving, like lane keep assist or adaptive cruise control. Level 2 is a step up to systems that can take control of the vehicle in certain situations, like Tesla's Autopilot or Cadillac's Super Cruise, while still requiring the driver to pay attention. Get past that and we enter the realm of speculation: Level 3 promises full computer control under defined conditions during a journey, Level 4 expands that to start-to-finish autonomous tech limited only by virtual safeguards like a geofence, and Level 5 is the total hands-off, go-anywhere-at-the-push-of-a-button experience.
Description of 6 levels defining autonomous cars:
The CEO of Volkswagen's autonomous driving division recently admitted that Level 5 autonomy—that's full computer control of the vehicle with zero limitations—might actually never happen.
