The issue of e-bike scofflaws has grown considerably over the last few years, normally taking the form of teenagers on fast e-bikes illegally cruising down sidewalks or recklessly riding through intersections. But as it turns out, Canada’s largest province is full of e-bike scofflaws of a different variety: parents simply wanting to bring their kids to school without using a car.
Texas keeps piling on solar projects as electricity demand surges on the ERCOT grid – and now another massive one is moving ahead.
Volvo CE and Hitachi Energy have signed an MOU to support and accelerate the deployment of battery electric construction equipment powered by a clean, renewable energy supply that’s backed by intelligent energy storage and management.

I was the first journalist to test Tesla’s Autopilot before it launched over a decade ago. I’ve tested every version of Autopilot and “Full Self-Driving” since. FSD v14 is by far the most impressive — and that’s exactly what makes it the most dangerous.
The danger isn’t that FSD v14 is bad. The danger is that it’s so good enough that it can make you stop paying attention — and Tesla is not doing enough to discourage complacency.
In fact, I’d argue that it is actively encouraging complacency with its marketing.
BYD says it will assume full financial liability for at-fault accidents that happen while its “God’s Eye” urban driving system is active in China — with no cap on the payout.
