  • The cost seems pretty obvious TBH…they’re subsidising their car industry to a much higher degree than European and American countries in order to achieve a greater market share and by extension control of large foreign car consumer markets. Given enough time, they will capture significant market shares in these markets due to artificially low prices outside of regular market competition.

    There’s of course also the general increased security risk of the Chinese government being plugged in to all the companies making these cars with black box software and always connected to the internet.


  • Why not? Pretty much everything except the roof structure is made of bricks. My house is entirely bricks; an outer and an inner wall separated by a gap with insulation, with a wooden skeleton for the roof secured to the brick walls. All interior walls are either made of bricks (the originals built with the house in the 60’s) or aerated concrete blocks (added in a refurbishing later in the 00’s).

    I have never in my 20 years of driving seen one with more than two digits, and I (unfortunately) have driven by them with +100km/h before and they absolutely flash at you (without showing numbers). I am fairly reluctant to believe your statements given my own experience.

    No it’s not…it’s because they’re two digit LED dot matrix displays, they’re always used in areas with maximum 80km/h speed limits and doesn’t really need any more than that. They can’t display numbers higher than 99 due to their config, but will still flash at you for speeding. It is not an intentional decision specifically to avoid situations like this.
