A 25% #tariff on foreign #cars is now active. Global #stocks have fallen, and there are worries about job losses in the UK car sector. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney has expressed his views on the tariffs.

I hate that we normalize deaths by vehicle like this.

If a person dies and it is found to be completely your fault, you should go to prison, or at least have a criminal record.

These aren't "accidents".

They are actual things that have happened due to factors including in this case “undue care and attention”.

Women who want to “spend a penny” in public conveniences will soon be freed from the tyranny of the turnstiles installed by many local councils. However, sixty-nine councils have so far refused to agree to the government’s suggestion of removing the turnstiles while eighteen councils are undecided.

My latest in Bloomberg CityLab: Applying "abundance" to transportation requires considering the kind of infrastructure that gets built, not just the quantity.

More trains and bike lanes would be great -- more highways and robotaxis not so much.

As spring comes into bloom, is your city's regular volume increased by the sound of dirtbikes and motorcycles and modified engines, like mine is? Is the peace disturbed every few minutes by the growl and roar of these nuisances?

Also Trump keeps babbling about those car factory jobs in the US, reality is that this industry will be one of the first that is almost fully working with robots I guess, no extra factory jobs for US workers.

Tesla sales are down. What a surprise...

I have never been a fan of Teslas. I am a fan of EVs, however, and there is just a lot of quality vehicles out there and most of them have a dashboard, which IMHO should be a requirement, as well as normal placement of things like turn signal controls and window wiper controls.

I know some of you just dislike cars in general and I respect that. I love walking and biking as well, but sometimes I need to drive and then I prefer EVs.
