Ultimora.net reported that the new Highway Code, approved by the Council of Ministers and set to come into force on January 1, 2028, will introduce stricter rules for pedestrians. According to the site, before crossing at crosswalks, they should check that drivers have seen them and are ready to stop; they should not change direction abruptly or dash while crossing. The site also listed other prohibitions: crossing intersections diagonally, weaving between parked cars, crossing outside the crosswalks at roundabouts or in front of stopped buses and trams, popping out suddenly and crossing near curves and bumps outside built-up areas. On unlit roads outside of built-up areas, at night it would be necessary to make oneself visible with lights or reflective devices. In the absence of crosswalks, underpasses, or overpasses, or if the crosswalks were at least 100 meters away, pedestrians should give way to vehicles and cross perpendicularly. In the absence of sidewalks, they should walk against the direction of traffic, while using skates and boards on sidewalks would be prohibited. Ultimora.net added that the penalty for using a phone while crossing would be eliminated and that violations could result in fines of 25 to 160 euros. #CodicedellaStrada #SicurezzaStradale #Pedoni (translated)

Jiří Coufal stated that when leaving the ramp, an active element was likely embedded in the floor of the Tesla Roadster. He believed it could be part of the "sucker" system, which he thought was supported by the cloud of dust behind the car. Although the underside footage of the floor appeared exposed and no such element was visible, Coufal judged that the car could have some mechanism of this type. He was disappointed that less attention was paid to his explanation than to the active wing, and hoped that further information about its operation would emerge in the following days. #Tesla #Roadster #automobilismus (translated)

Vlastislav Bříza stated that the Norwegian army discovered during a military exercise that rented cars of Chinese manufacture were recording soldiers, their movements, and access codes to military facilities. According to him, they came from the Norwegian branch of Hertz, which is controlled by the Chinese conglomerate Geely through Volvo Cars. Soldiers continued to use them, according to Bříza, because they had no other vehicles. He described the modern cars as mobile computers that can collect sensitive data and become tools for espionage. #Norsko #armáda #špionáž (translated)
