There’s also the issue of risk compensation: the presence of the “feature” is likely to lead to many more drivers intentionally driving off of cliffs to try this out.

Forget being real. This seems like a feature that creates more unnecessary risk (e.g., compressed air tank rupturing after a crash) and energy consumption due to additional weight than it ever solves an actual problem.

back in the olden days DOJ would investigate a particular crime it believed had been committed, rather than just poking around to see if anything was wrong
The investigation is seeking information to see where it leads, the source said. For example, if records, representations related to age and immigration status contain false information, that would provide material for investigators to scrutinize further. They could also examine communications related to such matters.

Since 2020, electricity bills have risen 34% for customers of investor-owned utilities, but only 19% for customers of publicly owned utilities. Nuking the IOU model & making all distribution utilities publicly owned: people are saying.
