It seems the accident was related to an over reliance on self driving, which we all know should never be fully trusted. It could be Xiaomi’s fault for inflating its claims of automation.

The Polestar 6, that sexy EV cabrio, might not be dead!
Lotus’ boss has raised the hand since the Lotus production plant in the UK is underutilized. Lotus and Volvo are under the same umbrella. It might work…
It was about time that idiotic EVs entered the market. Too much seriousness and environmentalism, efficiency and optimization are social media influencers. Where’s the fun?
First one, it’s an Alfa Giulia + Lancia Fulvia mash up subsequently violated by Liberty Walk. It’s ridiculous (compliment). Sadly, only exists as render now and the estimated price is 50+ k USD.
