I'm not sure why you think electrics are unsafe. The Teslas have repeatedly been the safest car ever tested multiple times. Here's just one example: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2022/09/07/tesla-model-y-gets-highest-safety-score-ever-in-european-test/?sh=a576dd94ff31

As for self driving cars, I wouldn't trust them either. That's based on feedback from people who personally own them. But that is about immature software, not about electric versus petrol. I'd have equal distrust for self driving gasoline cars as they all seem to be even further behind.

EVs already make more sense now and that's only going to grow. The EV sales speak for themselves.

Electrics are cleaner than gasoline cars even if using 100% coal power!

Most of the energy in petrol vehicles goes into making heat, not getting you where you want to go. That's why they have to consume so much extra energy in comparison to EVs.

So, I guess we can just agree to disagree. I don't think there's any test result or article I could show you to change your mind. And you haven't provided any evidence, so you're not going to change my mind. Cheers, mate.

How many articles & "studies" are there claiming pharma's jabs work & should be required? The captured corp media reports one way on whatever the govt subsidizes. There are still radio & tv commercials & news segments urging people to get vaccinated for covid.

The govt subsidies for wheat & sugar reshaped the entire dietary guidelines for 100 years.

I didn't say anything about crash test safety.

The self driving doesn't bother me so much as the centralized control of everything. If it was something locally controlled & easily disabled I wouldn't have much of an issue. It's the fact that someone can update the car without the consent of the driver, the fact that you can literally be locked in your car & delivered to the police, or you could be run into a tree with no way to prevent it if the right person decided you were a problem for them. But yes, it is a potential issue in most modern cars. I remember reading about a reporter who died because his Mercedes drove off the road & ran him into a tree.

I have no problem with electric motors generally, the power & torque & regenerative braking are all great things. But the batteries are heavy, expensive, dangerous, & completely unrelaible in extreme conditions.

Oh, I see. You discard all the scientific evidence that doesn't support your views on everything.

I guess since you still haven't provided any evidence to support any of your views, maybe you just don't believe in the scientific method.

That's absolutely your right and I'll defend it for you. I will not, however, listen to you blather on. Ciao.
