Man ermittelt zwar, „weil die Reifen aber nicht zerstört worden seien, handelt es sich nicht um einen Straftatbestand“, sagte eine Polizeisprecherin. Die linksgrünen Klima-Terroristen steckten rote Linsen in die Ventile. Diese sorgten dafür, dass die Luft langsam aus den Reifen entwich. Das Manipulieren von Fahrzeugen stellt einen Strafbestand im Strassenverkehrsrecht dar. Man stelle sich vor, jemand wird deswegen totgefahren. #Verkehrssicherheit #Umweltschutz #Polizei
EU prüft automatische Tempobremse für Neuwagen ab 2030. Kritik wächst nicht nur wegen möglicher Fehlentscheidungen der Systeme. #EU #Autos #Mobilität #t3n Neue Regeln: Die EU Kommission prüft laut t3n eine Regelung, nach der neue Fahrzeuge ab 2030 ihre Geschwindigkeit mithilfe von Satelliten, 5G Signalen und Kameras automatisch an geltende Tempolimits anpassen könnten. Fahrer könnten das Limit nur vorübergehend überschreiten, etwa bei Überholmanövern. Fehlerquote: Thatcham Research ermittelte beim schwächsten getesteten System über eine Gesamtstrecke eine Genauigkeit von 91,3 Prozent. Bei der Bewertung einzelner Geschwindigkeitsentscheidungen sank der Wert auf 74,3 Prozent. Damit lag das System laut Untersuchung ungefähr bei jeder vierten Entscheidung falsch. Eine automatische Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung könnte die Verkehrssicherheit erhöhen, wirft angesichts der dokumentierten Fehlerquoten jedoch erhebliche technische und sicherheitsrelevante Fragen auf. @HotManufaktur vielen Dank für den wichtigen Hinweis!
