US EV innovation vs EU regulation

بواسطة Not A Newt: Lyft

us investors are actively discussing how uber and lyft might partner with doordash to acquire car manufacturers like vw, or if google's waymo could buy a company to scale production fast. there is also speculation that tesla or google could purchase ride-hailing platforms for quicker autonomous deployment instead. these companies are moving forward using partially self-built ai models including grok, gemini, chatgpt, and claude while european firms watch their decline. vw is facing a downturn as food delivery companies consider acquisitions, yet the eu bans wrapping food in newspapers. ursula von der leyen visited greenland to promise taxpayer funding for satellite internet offering only 15 mbps at $125 monthly, even though starlink remains illegal for those communities despite providing 100 mbps at $30. meanwhile, hundreds of millions in taxpayer money fund a co2-capturing plant in norway that liquefies carbon underground. resources would be better spent planting trees to create cheap building material that traps co2 naturally. the gap between us progress and eu regulatory approaches is widening as brussels reacts by closing down. europe lacks autonomous cars, humanoid robots, and serious generative ai development. recent leadership actions in the eu seem defined by arrogance and incompetence.
