I got a speeding ticket this weekend while using Tesla’s Full Self-Driving. The car was driving itself in Standard mode on FSD when it took me up to 78 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.

Will we soon see sodium-ion batteries on electric bikes?
For the last couple of years, sodium-ion batteries have been one of the most talked-about “next big things” in the battery world.
