It's well on the way to feasibility though. With a number of models offering mid 350 miles of range and ultra rapid charge rates adding 100 to 150 miles in 15 minutes, very long distances are rapidly becoming more practical. As long as they are allowed of course, eventually we'll have to...

Totally agree on hybrids and it's great pity that they have a 5 year extension on purchasing them beyond pure ICE. Fortunately the public are waking up to the con as their sales are tumbling now pure e-car ranges have been so greatly increased and their far greater reliability is understood...

They already having, but doing it under the cover of their Lexus brand. The pure electric battery Lexus is the one they advertise now, so finally beginning to admit defeat on the silliness of hybrid of any kind. .

Possibly for the reopened establishments, but as usual the public are likely to read it as an end to lockdown. That at least will test if it really is safer now with less precautions all round. .

Leave it to the population. After a night out in pub or club, they'll still go for a curry as usual, with not a thought about Covid. Thinks, will the Covid-19 virus survive a British vindaloo or phaal curry? .

Oh dear: “We will look to use the outcomes of this study as a platform for sustainable growth, better supporting e-MTB riders in terms of trail infrastructure, responsible access and understanding the legalities of motor modifications." Wonder how they'll feel about all the 750 Watt BBS etc...

And they recorded a stubborn 10% increase in road accident afterwards. It supported my long held belief that the right side of the road is the wrong side. It's why we have the lowest road death rate in the world, there is a reason why driving on the left is safer. .

Following the above saga of trying to get a working medical practice app, despite their repeatedly approving my using it, I've after three weeks of trying received a message on the not-so-smartphone saying that they've been unable to verify I'm one of their patients so the application has been...

That's the key, it won't, not in the great majority of our roads. The state of our roads infrastructure is appalling and ever worsening as the long suffering suspension of my car reminds me by the minute. Just as back in the 1870s London physically renumbered every property in the entire city...

Cross purposes, I was speaking of implanted guidance in roads. I agree in principle with what you've posted but think you are overestimating GPS accuracy, especially without the full access to Galileo that you enjoy but we've lost on leaving the EU. Even if that were not so, the great majority...

We have mentioned this aspect, but it's far too costly and actually impossible in many circumstances due to all the inherent needs for flexibility. The reality is that semi-autonomy will be as far as we get, and that's not much further forward than we already are. .

That'll never happen, sorting or policing it would be impossible. At best we might get to e-car lanes in about ten years time, but even that is problematic with current speed limits. But you can forget about self driving cars here and in much of Europe, they are a hopelessly inadequate...

And that of course is the key, all to one design and no other designs around. Cars are very different, many different designs of self drive cars and software mixing with many that rely only on unaided drivers alone. And that situation will be with us for over 30 years yet. .

I've long suspected that the AZ has problems being covered up for political expediency. The "something they know" could well be that the AZ doesn't have lasting protection and an added Pfizer as a boost deals with that issue. .

This brought a smile as I recalled the first visit by a US stealth fighter to the Farnborough Air Show. BA and others were waiting there with their radars and triumphantly announced they'd spotted it on radar long before it came into view. The somewhat lame but amusing response from the...

At just 3.8 pence per mile initial capital cost, that's impressive. Just think, if it was a £5500 Riese and Muller or similar, that would be over £2.11 per mile to date but still only doing the same job at 55 times the price. .

More NHS privatisation inroads in our region, the below from my MP: "I have had many constituents contact me with concern over the takeover of GP surgeries across Croydon Central by the US health care company Centene. There are well-founded concerns over their previous business behaviour and...

I think they are intended in part for the younger age groups where there are doubts about the AZ, and in part for the overseas giveaways to try to outdo the EU. It looks a lot, but worldwide it's peanuts. .

Another aspect is that the self drive cars largely rely on painted lane markings to keep in lane, but the only roads reliably lined are the motorways, I wonder how the police and truckies will welcome cars at 37 mph in the slow lane, almost 20 mph slower than the trucks? It all adds up to a...

The daft thing is that there are many cars like mine which are fully approved for road use with built in full self driving ability. My Nissan one recommends only use at up to 60 mph and also states one must always remain in control and never rely on the self driving alone. Apart from wisely...
