A Reuters investigation debunked Tesla’s flawed US research that its ‘Full Self-Driving’ system is up to 10 times safer than a human driver. Now it’s submitting the same research to European regulators deciding whether to approve FSD reut.rs/4AT9ItC
reut.rs
Tesla is browbeating the EU to approve its ‘Full Self-Driving’ tech. The pressure is working.
Elon Musk’s EV company is running a social-media campaign blaming European traffic deaths on red tape. Its safety claims don’t hold up, experts say, but regulators are starting to buckle.

Dear USA, you are being set-up, read his posts he’s gonna steal midterms and claim win because of rallies. Make a plan now, because it’s coming. Trump’s a criminal as is his Cabinet. Patel, Hegseth, Blanche are treason weasels. Forget about his sexcapades w/Natalie Larp & focus.

a big part of being a good president is being smart about who to listen to, and organizing your office so you get good advice. trump is a uniquely terrible president bec (a) he refuses to listen to anyone who disagrees with him about anything, and (b) if you flatter him he'll do anything you ask.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.
