No; personally i find those annoying as hell when a car with those is behind me. Having partial high beams on either side from behind, that also come on and of with oncoming traffic, is really distracting. Never mind the “less good” implementations, that blind you through your side mirrors.

“Average” does a LOT of heavy lifting on these claims.
Nike has said 66% of workers at its suppliers, at least those for whom it has data, earn a living wage.
What kind of dystopian bullshit are we living in, that
44%34% of your workforce not earning enough to live, is supposed to be a positive statistic?!
Yeah; that checks out!

Then you don’t need a nuclear power plants worth of electricity in lost efficiency from charging wirelessly.
Or you know; trains for long haul freight… Regional freight should be perfectly possible with wired charging…

I know the French seem to be more friendly and cooperative if you start out with whatever little French you might know, but Scandinavians generally prefer if you just start out in English.
Isn’t that called something like, a single peak bogota pick?
Putting it in park at highway speeds depends mostly on how new the car is. Newer cars will put the transmission in neutral and probably yell at you with the dash. Older cars the parking lock isn’t strong enough to lock up the wheels at speed, so it’ll grind and clatter or just break. Ruining the parking lock.
Turning the car off on the highway just makes you coast to a stop. Depending on if its an automatic or manual transmission; you might loose power assist on the steering if the engine stops spinning. Pulling the key out normally activates the steering wheel lock. Which is a whole other problem if you are still moving… Some automatics prevent you from removing the key if the transmission isn’t in park though…
