That’s why most electric cars (and eventually ALL) have anti-collision AI. We just have to make sure drivers cannot override those features.

You should 100% dive deeper on this. I was delighted to hear your podcast interview on The Big Story https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9Pa2F4NDRibw/episode/Mjg3MDQ2YWItYWJlOS00M2RmLWIwZDktNDMzNzVhNTE3NGZl?hl=en-CA and I came here to see how you expanded on the arguments you made there but alas this is shorter and less detailed!

One thing I would love if you could dive into is the "missing middle" of EV offerings in Canada. The cheapest Chinese vehicles might not pass our safety regulations and speed limited "near car" options (which I personally would love to see) might be hard to sell today. But why are we not being offered cars like the Dacia Spring which is already licensed to drive in the EU? https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/dacia-spring-ev-decision-uk-sale-coming-soon

It would be particularly timely since a few days ago Tesla decided it was no longer interested in keeping its prices down to qualify for the federal rebate (since presumably it is selling all the cars it can make anyway).

Your article sucks.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt is a propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
