What I often see omitted and think is just as important long term: recyclability, cycle life and cost. These will impact the resale value and the lifetime costs of the car. The second-hand market will be crucial when it comes to widespread

I think a question to ask in the same vain would be: What would they do, if due to economic changes other companies are suddenly willing to match the money with better working conditions?

There are a lot of different viewpoints regarding GDPR. But the one thing which grinds my gears the most is the fact that somehow people using tools like Google Analytics take on legal risk, but not Google itself for providing it. Google ha

This line of thinking is, in my opinion, exactly the problem. Everything and everyone is a threat.

If they are hesitant, then they should be better trained. There are enough "moves" to subdue and fixate someone without suffocating or killing them. The real question should be: Why is police in other countries capable of doing th
