The pocket of the Autonomous Communities

by

As half the world, Spain is going through a deep housing crisis in which there is only one group escaping its deadly trap, The heirs. In just five years, the average price of the square meter It has triggered more than 40% According to idealist data, and with this the collection of who receives a percentage of each second -hand sale is growing at a frantic rhythm. The great winners. The Autonomous Communities have two key taxes in regards to the sale of second -hand housing. They are the Tax on Patrimonial Transmissions (ITP) and the Tax of Documented Legal Acts (AJD). The first is the greatest, and communities They establish it between 6% and 11% (except the Balearic Islands, which reaches 13%). In a Spain in which they are sold 40,000 homes per month, The confidential It details how the collection of autonomies is shooting in the first five months of the year: they enter 25% more this year than in the same period of 2024. It is also explained with a growth of 20% of the sale in that same period. In absolute numbers, there are 300,000 operations, the highest figure from an indicated date: 2007, the bubble peak. Income at various speeds. The problem of access to housing is unequal throughout Spanish geography. So is the sale number and, therefore, the collection of autonomies. Madrid and Catalonia take just over 40% of the national collection, despite having 30% of the population. In both communities, ITP and AJD total 9.5% of total income. In the Balearic Islands, that figure is triggered at 22%, more than double the average. It is no accident that these three communities have their capitals in the top of the effort rate ranking. The one that grows the most since last year is La Rioja, with 425%, a fact that is explained by a poor figure in 2024. It is followed by Murcia, Asturias, Canary Islands and Cantabria. The ITP problem. The ITP is, in general, a tax that by default is not divided at the time of purchase. That is, you have to pay it TO TOCATEJA, It is often a huge amount that was not counted, after having to contribute a 20% of the value of housing To access a mortgage. The fractionation has requirements that depend on the autonomous community (as well as the Reductions), and it is not approved by default, but the buyers remain to be triggered for what the administration decides according to the figures and the characteristics of each sale. The aid ends up in the pocket of homemade and owners. For 60% of housing purchases, which are made No mortgagemade by investment funds or wealthy people, ITP may not be a problem, but it has a great effect on the figures to which young people have to save, which are The great losers of the crisisand that often continue to depend on Family aidwith devastating data for Spain. At the moment, the aid raised for rent and buy They only have two winners: homemade and owners who inflate even more prices. The autonomous communities go up to that income car while the nominal types remain fixed in full price escalation. There is only one Fast road to get free housing In Spain: be a doctor and want to work in Pinto.

The Extremadura Plan for SMEs and Autonomous

by

Labor conciliation is a serious problem that not only has an impact on the labor market conditioning the Labor availability. It also has repercussions at demographic and economic level. The Board of Extremadura has launched A new call to support SMEs and the freelancers of the region. It is an economic aid of 2,500 euros for each worker who is allowed to telework or dispose of a flexible schedule to reconcile work with the care of dependent children or relatives. Conditions to access help. This initiative is part of the Extremadura Autonomous Employment Plan And it seeks to “promote the digital transformation and the conciliation of working and personal life in SMEs and among the self -employed,” according to the official text of the Board. The SMEs and freelancers who have their fiscal domicile in Extremadura may request this help, which have a maximum of 250 employees and whose annual business volume does not exceed 50 million euros or their annual balance does not exceed 43 million euros. With this measure, the Board joins the initiatives on teleworking and conciliation that other communities have already launched Like Madrid. In addition, it is mandatory that benefited workers have been hired in the company before the request for aid. The amount of the subsidy will be 2,500 euros for each worker who passes to teleworking or having flexible schedule, for a maximum of 10 workers per company and with a maximum limit of 10,000 euros per company. Teleworking or flexibility. “One of the main challenges today is that labor demands, such as long days, rigid schedules or lack of flexibility, make people difficult to meet their family responsibilities, such as caring for children, the elderly or people with disabilities,” says the Board in its specifications. Therefore, the call establishes its priority in Teleworking models and time flexibility that allows workers to adapt the schedules of their day to Family care needs. One of the requirements is that at least 30% of the weekly working hours must be made and that the flexible modality must imply a real adaptation of the schedules To facilitate conciliation. According to the published decree, “the company must prove that it has effectively implemented teleworking or flexible schedule for at least a year after the granting of aid.” Less stress, more productivity. Conciliation measures directly affect to workers’ stress And, as a consequence, other aspects such as the improvement of productivity and commitment to companies are improved. From the Board of Extremadura it is ensured that the measure “not only benefits people, who can experience a better quality of life, lower stress and greater job satisfaction, but also has advantages for organizations, such as greater productivity, lower staff rotation and a healthier work environment” Against the precariousness of women. Women are the most affected by the precariousness induced by family reconciliation. According to INE datathe percentage of men with more than one child who worked was 90.4%, compared to their female peers registered 71.8%. Hence the need to favor conciliation in self -employed and SMEs and that these “contribute to reducing gender inequalities, since most of the time it is women who face greater difficulties,” abounds the brochure of the call.

Autonomous driving for a 9,000 euros car

by

With a driver but under intense rain and with a car that can be bought in China for 9,000 euros to the direct change. Those have been the bases of the autonomous driving test that Byd has made available to have a contact with the Eye of Godthe most advanced system of the Chinese company, which already works in the Asian country and that will reach all cars of the company. Regardless of its price. First of all, the eye of God Although the experience will arrive below, it is important to present what the eye of God is, what their credentials are and what is proposed. A few months ago, Byd presented its most advanced autonomous driving system. Nothing especially new if it weren’t because I was punching the industry table. His great attraction is that he will reach all his cars, regardless of its price. That is the real incentive. Until now, the most advanced functions in autonomous driving systems have been sold as extras or as a part of a complete but high price. They are, in short, a source of income with which it is even tantest with subscription services As Tesla does, for example. With his eye of God, Byd aspires to generate added value to the product to attract new customers. That the most basic models allow you to enjoy vented services so far seems like a good strategy. The big doubt is: What will happen to that income? On this we ask Stella Li during our brief talk at a round table with other fellow journalists. Then, Byd’s vice president just said that they had already thoroughly studied the matter and “contemplated other income paths” but without explaining to them what they were. Much has been written since then and one of the possibilities that seem more evident is income generation through its own store of applications within the vehicle’s infotainment system, which allows you to visualize or access any other time contained in a stop … or on the way. The latter is what is aspired in cars with More advanced autonomous driving levels And even, it would be to legally possible In the United Kingdom if Mercedes could apply the sufficient conditions to activate your level 3 of autonomy With Drive Pilot. But it is still, new, limited to vehicles of the high range. Byd has pointed out that the system, base, will reach all its vehicles but has three levels. The first is only available on the highway and is the one we have tried. This is our experience. A 9,000 euros but autonomous car He Byd Dolphin Surf (Surname Seagull in China) arrives at our hotel led by an employee of the company. He picks us up to start the test and go to filmed traffic. For a few minutes, the driver takes various exits and we check some details that tell us that we are facing a different car. On the outside, the Seagull differs from our Dolphin Surf in a camera in the front fins. Inside, the resolution of the cameras, which is quite good in our national model, seems even better here. In the instrument table a greater number of objects are displayed that around the vehicle (pedestrians, other cars, cones …) that appear and disappear while the vehicle advances. Curiosities, in the browser, in addition to the route, at each crossing the waiting time of the traffic light is shown with a countdown if it is closed. When it opens, a small sound warning alerts the driver. And if the traffic light allows the free passage of vehicles, the regressive account indicates, how much time it remains for the traffic light to close. This is not something exclusive to byd but it is surprising how well it works. Especially since it detects the traffic light that corresponds to us, since the main traffic light does not always coincide with those of taking a detour to the right or left and take another exit. In those we are when the driver takes the exit to the highway. It makes us a gesture. In the browser a gray signal has appeared that indicatesThe eye of God is available. The driver has the opportunity to press it on the touch screen or activate it with a steering wheel button. Opt for the second … and nothing happens. And it is the best thing to say. Ahead we have about thirty kilometers to travel with an autonomous driving system. The driver keeps his hands under the steering wheel but does not pressure and, really, if he wanted to take control of the car for an error of it would cost him a precious time before taking the controls. That is, the car is the one that keeps us on the road without help. The driver by pressing the activation of the autonomous driving system with the steering wheel First, the operation is very good, scratching the excellent. The car is kept focused on the lane and from there the curves, or dilating joints or bridge structures do not move. These last two are felt a lot to our path but the Dolphin Surf Byd remains unchanged. The only point at which it suffers a little is when another vehicle advances us and is located A few meters ahead of the vehicle. When cutting the trajectory and safety distance disappears, the braking is too abrupt. However, the car recovers the speed with a shallow ease and, above all, with a very good decision that, this time, does not fall into abruptness. Acceleration is clean and progressive. The green light of the mirrors shows that the car circulates in autonomous mode That black point is really the only one. During our test, the Dolphin Surf Byd had to face complex weather conditions. He had a good time raining when we got into the car and on the road he kept a lot of water. So much so that the spray … Read more

is in four autonomous communities at the same time

by

The geography It is capriciousjust as history or politics is often. In the case of Valverde, a tiny district of the municipality of Alhama River Cerverathose three whims have converged to generate a situation Very unorthodox: A population in which four autonomies shake hands. His situation is so rocambolesca that a inhabitant of Valverde arrives a small walk to tour La Rioja, Aragón, Castilla y León and Navarra. All an anomaly in the broad (often capricious) Spanish administrative map. In a place in Spain … In Alhama-Linaressouth of La Rioja, there is a municipality called Alhama River Cerveraof just over 2,200 neighbors and a long Employment traditionthat hides a small secret inside. Administratively the town is Rioja, but from time to time jumps to the holders for the particular status of one of its districts, Valverde. The reason? It is literally fitted among four different communities. A town, four regions. If you open Google Maps and “Valverde” You will verify the peculiar situation of the population, at the confluence of four different regions: La Rioja, Aragón, Navarra and Castilla y León. The inhabited nucleus is split by the dividing line that separates Aragon from La Rioja, but that is not its only anomaly: the Castellanoleonese border is located a few hundred meters from where the houses are located. And Navarra is not much further. If situation comes so much about the common It stands out The City of Cervera del Río Alhama. “The neighborhood is from the center of the Villa 10 kilometers, it is located at the southeast end of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja, next to the skirts of Moncayo”, Remember the Consistory’s website. “Its location is peculiar, because it coincides with the border limits of four communities.” A curiosity, a legend. Valverde is not only striking for its mixture of borders. It is also for The story (Legend, rather) that has its peculiar position Sancho el Fuerte, Alfonso II El Casto and Alfonso VIISovereign respectively of Navarra, Aragon and Castilla, to negotiate alliances. The place chose it because that way the three could be cited without any abandoned their domains. Some versions They tell In fact, the monarchs came to celebrate a lunch on a triangular table arranged in the kingdoms. The place is known as “The Mojón de los Tres Reyes”. A theoretical division. The most striking of Valverde is that in that anomaly you are barely felt in the day -to -day life of its neighbors, except in special situations, such as During pandemia. The division of the district, in which some 200 people (Many of them on Rioja soil) The brand the street of the station. The Herald newspaper Precise Also that most people’s services are located in the area that corresponds to La Rioja, near the road (N-13) that connects Pamplona with Madrid. According to the exact place in which the neighbors are censored, yes, they have to go to Hospitals in Logroño or Zaragoza.

An island wants to unite Spain and be the autonomous community number 18. The problem is that it belongs to the USA

by

It We count A while ago, in front to secessionismboth in Europe and in other continents we find the face of the other currency: movements that what they are looking for is the union against separation. One of them has sounded again these days. Actually, It is not newbut it always gives speaking in the case of a territory Very particular from the United States … and want to be part of Spain. Union is strength. As we said, this Another face of the currency travels shared historical and historical narratives, from the desire of the Moldavos to return to the body of a Romania with which They share languageculture and past, even, as we will see, in the echoes of Imperial nostalgia of some Puerto Ricans who, in a gesture as unusual as revealing, imagine their future not in the 51st star of the American flag, but as an autonomous community number 18 from Spain. Examples There are moresince Tyrol del Sur has revived in the past old belongings Habsburg-Germanic when dreaming of a Reintegration in Austriawhile The “Great Albania” Ethnic-national ghosts were revived yet lit In the Balkans. He Iberismmore lyrical than political, evoked the peninsular union between Spain and Portugal, sustained more by nostalgic intellectuals than by movements with real citizen traction. In parallel, The “Great Hungary” He kept beating on the margins of Magaria nationalism, especially among the Hungarians who were out of the borders after the TRIANON TREATYand in Valonia, a small game dreams of return to France a strip of the old Napoleonic space. The same end. All these movements, although of little practical viability, reveal that identities not only fragment: sometimes too They seek to reconstituteas if the map of Europe, far from stabilizing, was still an unfinished canvas where some villages aspire to join beyond the borders they have to live. Let’s put as an example the Puerto Rico case. A historical link. Among the embers of a Empire that dissolved More than a century ago, there are still territories and movements that, by conviction or nostalgia, aspire to restore the political ties that one day united them to the Spanish crown. This is the case of Puerto Rico, an archipelago that for more than 400 years was an integral part of the Spanish empire and that, after the effects of the Spanish-American war in 1898, was ceded to the United States. Since then, the island has lived in an ambiguous legal status as Associated free state: It is not an independent nation, but neither a sovereign state within the American Federation. In that institutional limbo the MOVEMENT AWARD MEASURESa group that proposes, in a serious although controversial, that Puerto Rico returns to Spain and becomes its autonomous community number eighteen. In other words, the initiative seeks to activate historical, sentimental and legal springs to reverse the course taken more than a century ago, challenging both the structure of the Spanish State and the constitutional rigidity of the United States. Legal obstacles. Obviously it is not so simple. In fact, the legal reality is relentless against the aspirations of the movement. The United States Constitution prohibits any form of territorial secession that is not mediated by Congress, which annuls the possibility of Puerto Rico abandoning its link with Washington without a highly unlikely legal process. On the other hand, Spain lacks a mechanism in its order that contemplates the Incorporation of a territory foreign as a new autonomous community. Although activists They denounce a blackout Informative that prevents the dissemination of their message within Puerto Rico, they claim to have the 16.3% support of the population (figure not verified by independent studies). There is no game. In addition, and very important, being constituted as a cultural association and not as a political party (a limitation imposed by US legislation on entities with proposals incompatible with their federal system) cannot attend elections or develop institutional political activity. All this gives the movement a more symbolic than pragmatic, more provocative than realizable. Background questions. Be that as it may, and despite the obvious limitations, AWAY MEETING Open a peculiar window on the perception of identity in Puerto Rico. In a territory where there is no Right to vote By the president of the United States, where American citizenship is granted without full representation and where Spanish remains the maternal language of the majority, there are sectors that feel culturally closer to Hispanic Europe than to the Anglo -Saxon universe. The phenomenon, although minority, Old debates revives On decolonization, self -determination and belonging, not only from a legal perspective, but also from an emotional, historical and linguistic.

There is already an autonomous community taking note of the blackout and putting measures to avoid it: Catalonia

by

The electrical invoice It has risen After the blackout for the reinforcement system, but the real challenge is not only in reinforcing the system, but in transforming it. Catalonia has understood and got to work. Short. The Government of Catalonia has approved by urgent a new decree-law with the aim of increasing the resilience of the electrical system. The standard introduces reforms both in energy legislation and urban regulations to facilitate energy transition. Specifically, it modifies Decree Law 16/2019, oriented to climate emergency, and adapts the regulatory framework to accommodate energy storage through batteries. A double purpose. On the one hand, it streamlines the administrative process of renewable energy projects. On the other hand, and pioneer, regulates the installation of high -power batteries, both independent (Stand Alone) as hybridized with solar and wind farms. In addition, the Catalan Government has decided to grant these infrastructure the condition of higher public interest, which allows them to be installed even on non -urbanizable land, by legally equating them with technical services of public utility. This measure responds to an old demand for the energy storage sector in Spain, As it took place in the AEPIBAL Day. Treading the accelerator. The Generalitat has processed 94 Energy storage projects through batteries. Of these, 87 are independent and add up to 920 MW, while the other 7 are hybridized with renewable facilities and provide additional 22 MW. Catalonia thus becomes one of the first communities to create a specific regulatory framework for these technologies. The rest trapped in an obsolete framework. As experts in the energy sector pointed out To Xatakathe storage problem is not only technical, but also regulatory and economic. Today, batteries that are not linked to self -consumption cannot participate in balance markets, which hinders their profitability and slows its mass implementation. However, beyond the regulations, the future of storage will also depend on technological and economic evolution. Technologies like him Grid formingwhich allows batteries to stabilize the network imitating the inertia of traditional centrals, or the development of local micro -redes Able to operate autonomously, they are already being successfully tested. Criticisms have jumped. Battery deployment has also aroused social and critical resistance resistance. According to publicsome groups have warned of the risk that the energy transition becomes a new form of extractivism, without rethinking the consumption model. Specifically they have accused the project of the Korean company Lotte in Mont-Roig of the Camp. In addition, organizations such as the Observatori del Deute in Globalització (ODG) have remembered the same medium as the extraction of materials such as lithium, tungsten or sodium depends on mines in countries such as Chile or Australia, which reinforces the dependence of external resources and raises environmental and geopolitical dilemmas. A map yet to define. Catalonia wanted to advance with a strategy that seeks to combine energy resilience, administrative agility and technological impulse. Storage by batteries is not just a technical solution: it is an essential piece to balance an increasingly decentralized, renewable and exposed crisis system. The road is drawn. The question is whether the rest of Spain will know – and want – follow it on time.

The autonomous driving was the great absent in the presentation of the Xiaomi Yu7 and there is a reason: the Chinese government

by

May 22 will be a day for the particular story of Xiaomi as a brand. Taking advantage of its fifteenth anniversary, the company celebrated an event in which He made various ads But, above all, he emphasized two new products: an own chip and its second electric car, the Xioami Yu7. The presentation of Second Xiaomi electric car And his first SUV had everything we expected. The force deployment was total. The company confirmed that a year after launching its first car to the market, almost 300,000 vehicles have already put on the street. He was followed by a presentation where there were no single detail to comment. Luxurious details such as several -layer paintings, retractable shooters at the doors (which close themselves), seats designed to rest in them and, of course, an arsenal of comparisons with Tesla, Porsche and Mercedes, whom they point out as great rivals. The other great afternoon star was the Hypervision Hud, a Head-Up Display that crosses all the width of the windshield to project all kinds of information on it, segmenting this in areas and launching the most relevant for each of the passengers. A solution that BMW advanced two years ago but that has not yet put into practice. We had everything in a presentation of the car that spread for almost an hour. Of everything? Almost, almost everything. Because we had a great absent: autonomous driving. No traces of autonomous driving During the presentation of Xiaomi Su7the Chinese company emphasized the autonomous driving capabilities of its vehicles. Showed in a video How the car moved but also how the driver got off the vehicle before entering a parking lot and, autonomously, the car moved through an environment of several plants and parked in a really adjusted space. The commitment to this facet was such that The first time that officially He saw the vehicle in motion was doing it for himself. In recent years, automated driving has been one of the big game boards where the battle for the electric car in China develops. In fact, the company’s rivals have also emphasized it in recent years. Nio has based on its strategy In this area and Byd hit the table recently announcing that His “eye of God” will reach all carsregardless of its price. It was undoubtedly a dart to Tesla who was has worked hard to operate as a vehicle with autonomous driving capabilities. So why was it overlooked at the presentation of the Xiaomi Yu7? During the same, the little that was said about this type of functions is that the car will have A new chipset that will help you better visualize obstacles or pedestrians. And that’s it. The message in relation to security was on the other hand. The company focused on the good results of its chassis and The presentation of a new framework of the cabin, highlighting the materials with which he was made and the pressures he can bear. Why did they spend so much talking about something so technical? Lei Jun presenting the structure of the Xiaomi Yu7 Well, a few weeks ago Three people died aboard an Xiaomi Su7. And there is a suspicion that is floating in the air: they had active the most advanced functions of driving. A fatal accident is something that all brands that want to delve into this market have passed but the Chinese government has given an order: there is no talk of autonomous driving. The companions of Xiaomi world that from The fateful accident There is a generalized concern in the country. So much so that from the government of the country they have launched a new regulation and have given an important notice to the manufacturers, as it has been able to know Reuters. The new regulations will force the possible improvements in the ADAS of driving aid systems to pass an exam. Only after overcoming it can be updated in the cars via Ota. Previously this previous step was not necessary before putting cars up to date. The notice is hard: those who announce autonomous driving functions that cannot be fulfilled may be punished with a fine that will multiply between five and ten times the rate price of the publicized vehicle. This has caused Xiaomi no longer to talk about autonomous driving and assisted driving. Driving aids are a controversial theme in China but also in the West. In fact, in the United States organisms have stressed that terms such as Full self driving and Autopilot of Tesla They point to promises that at this time cannot fulfill. But the company is not the only one indicated, the Drive Pilot Mercedes has also been qualified as such. For now, there are hardly traditional manufacturers that can offer completely autonomous driving systems with open traffic. Level 2 and 2+ systems still require driver’s attention. Even Fordwhich offers a system to travel without hands and without feet also forces this. Mercedes does offer it But in very specific places, with good weather and up to 60 km/h.

His true drama is autonomous driving

The United States took the submachine gun, loaded her tariffs and downloaded her bullets all over the world. Except for exceptions, the Donald Trump government announced on April 2 that it will tax with additional economic measures to anyone who, according to their accounts, has mistreated the United States. China, one of the most punished countries, has already responded. The tariffs. A quick review of what has happened. Donald Trump presented on April 2 the largest tariff load for a century, according to experts consulted by BBC. The European Union will pay 20% as of April 9 for putting your products in the United States. United Kingdom, however, will pay 10%. Russia will not pay anything. China will pay 39%. An island inhabited by seals and penguins will pay 10%. It seems random but it is the result of applying a flat rate of 10% of tariffs to all countries. Then, the commercial balance is taken and if it is negative for the United States, it is divided between the imported, it is multiplied by 100 and, for the executive of the American country you have the figure of the alleged undercover tariffs that each country or region imposes on US products. Donald Trump has taken that figure and divides it by two. The result is the tariff applied to each country. A blunt answer. For China, new tariffs are “subjective and unilateral valuations (…) do not conform to international trade standards” and, deep down, are a “typical unilateral intimidation practice.” These are the words, collected by The countrythat the Chinese government has used in a statement to confirm that it will impose a 34% tariff to all goods from the United States. This 34% adds to 20% that the United States already announced in early March and was answered From China with new tariffs to specific sectors (such as the field), the prohibition of selling products to 15 US companies for security reasons or Restrictions in the sale of rare minerals. Until now, Chinese companies The tariffs had been jumping In products for less than 800 euros. These, as of April 9, will have to raise their prices by 54% (20% already established and 34% announced on April 2) compared to the cost of just a few months ago. China will apply its tariffs from April 10, which looks like an open door to negotiation. How are you going to Tesla in China? Elon Musk’s company is one of the most settled American companies in China. Tesla sold 1.79 million electric cars worldwide. Of them, 657,000 vehicles were sold in the Asian country. That is, one in three cars manufactured by Tesla was bought in China, according to data from Reuters. It was a sales record in a year where He could not sell more cars than the previous exercise worldwide, a rarity. Of those 657,000 electric cars, Cleantechnica He points out that more than 480,000 of them were Tesla Model Y. This electric SUV that became the best -selling car in the world in 2023 is, by far, the best beta in the mine that Tesla has in China. The Tesla Model and is the best -selling electric car in the country. China has a category called “New Energy” where the electric and plug -in hybrids add up. Above Tesla Model and only the Byd Song was placed but this is sold in hybrid version. The Seagull Byd, second best -selling purely electric car, about 27,000 registrations below the Tesla model. An extreme dependence. The company has ended up based on China on the electric SUV. Behind the Tesla Model and, his Tesla Model 3 was the best -selling car with a lot of difference. So much that according to data collected by Autovista24The Berlina touched the 177,000 registrations. Added both vehicles is the result: Tesla lives two models in China (Model and and Model 3). The Tesla Model S and Model X are missing. Yes, the company sells them there but they are models considered luxurious to the point that Xiaomi boasts to put in the market an ultra xiaomi su7 that is sold in China for a much lower price to Tesla Model S Plaid, with which it compares in benefits. Little impact … A 34% tariff to all goods from the United States would affect very little in practice to Tesla sales in China. The only two cars that would be punished are the Tesla Model S and Model X that, as we see, have irrelevant sales in the final results account. They are models considered of luxury and Chinese clients have turned their backs to any product that is not local in that price segment. Tesla manufactures those two cars exclusively in the United States But his Tesla Model 3 and Model and yes he manufactures them in China with concrete specifications for the country. Everything indicates that they would not be affected by the new tariffs. In the opposite direction, everything that Tesla sells in the United States is manufactured in the country so it is Of the few companies that can breathe Relieved And although the year has started horrible for Tesla in China, in March it has sold 78,828 vehicles according to data from CNEVPOST. That means that the replacement of Tesla Model and is already paying off. Despite a 11.8% drop compared to the same month of 2024 begins to move in usual figures compared to previous years. Little impact … direct. The economic impact for Tesla should not be very high, as we have commented, but there are other fronts that the company has to take into account this commercial war. The first and that does affect it directly is the confidence of investors. Between bad results and the new Chinese tariff flying out, Tesla will face the day based on a significant fall. The second is to see if China is willing to close Tesla’s tap in its businesses in China. The company has been trying to … Read more

Elon Musk has promised an autonomous car service in June. Time passes and only has a car like those of a lifetime

by

“Before 2027, let me say so.” With these words, Elon Musk launched its last order: United States will enjoy a Tesla Robotaxis service operated by cars without steering wheel or pedals in less than two years. That was the great promise of the company’s CEO last October 2024 when Tesla presented her cybercab. The project cannot be more ambitious. At the moment, the only ones who had strengthened as operators were Waymo and Cruise And his work is known for operating in Some neighborhoods of San Francisco with traditional vehicles adapted to a driver without driver. Cruise, in addition, has decided to give folder To this race for the autonomous car after burning billions of dollars. The background They would shake anyone and, above all, they doubt that Tesla is able to move forward such an ambitious project in such a short time space. Despite this, Elon Musk already advanced in January that yes, that This summer We would see evidence of his Tesla Cybercab in Austin (Texas). With a steering wheel or flying, it is something that will only say time. The logical step For now, what we know is that Tesla has requested permission Transportation Charter Party to the California Public Services Commission (CPUC). This step is essential to be able to be able to be able to a fleet of vehicles that are used as a taxi service. They explain in Bloomberg That, until now, there was no record of this step although Musk had assured that he hoped to be able to put this business at the service of customers at the end of the year. That is, the first steps would take place in the Texan city of Austin and, later, in the state of California. The first step, yes, is to show that cars are safe and reliable for themselves. And, for that, they need a driver who verifies the possible problems or errors in which the system may fall. Waymo and Cruise cost them years operate in California and the latter left after star in various accidents. To reach this stadium, Tesla would have to request another permission in which its intention to work without drivers after the steering wheel is specifically collected. However, this permission has not been facilitated in California, according to internal sources to the economic newspaper and Reuters. It must also be taken into account that the process to be able to Operate in San Francisco It is slow. First you need to overcome the approval of the regulators performing tests with driver, then it could operate without them but as long as I did not charge for the service. The last step is to be able to charge for the paths. We will have to see how far the strip and loosen with the state of California (governed by the Democrats). It is a region that was willing to keep the purchase subsidies of electric cars despite The government aspires to end them. California’s answer has not only been resistance in this regard, he also wants Take Tesla of them claiming that they sell too many cars. In Texas, however, things seem to be simpler. They explain in Bloomberg That completely autonomous cars do not need special permits to circulate so that the bureaucratic steps to be given are minors. In addition, it would be necessary to wait if the figure that Elon Musk has in the Government, since the state of Texas is controlled by the Republicans but the city of Austin is governed by the Democrats. At the moment, all we have are images of the Tesla Cybercab performing tests with a steering wheel on the dashboard. It is essential for the electric car company to continue taking steps towards a future where you can make profitability to the service. A profitability that, in Musk’s words, should burn its first stage in June of this year when you should be offering “trips with self -employed cars for money”, in words used to a call with investors and published by Reuters. However, the time period given by Elon Musk is so narrow that he opens the door to doubt and think that we could be before the nth promise not fulfilled in a timely manner. Much more if we consider that the company itself is pending to receive the approval in California To be able to operate your Full self driving (Your most advanced driving aid system) without supervision, something that already Mercedes In very specific traffic circumstances.

There are three autonomous communities that take the palm

In Spain the DGT watches traffic with fixed radars, section radars (Some of them In full installation process), Mobile radars and Pegasus. To these devices we can add the surveillance cameras or the work of the agents aboard vehicles, vans and even camouflaged motorcycles. Of all those devices, the most controversial generate are the Velolaser mobile radars (because their small size prevents guessing before going through them) and the situation of mobile radars. These, assures the DGT, are located where it is understood that they are more necessary for drivers to lift the accelerator’s foot and reduce the accidents. However, we also know that there are hundreds of empty boxes distributed throughout the territory and that are used to move radars. The box, whether or not it is in operation, is already enough to make the driver suspect and reduce the speed. Where are the radars that put the most fines With the data that the DGT is making public, Associated European motorists (AEA) Punctually update the list with the radars that impose the most fines over a year. As confirmed to ourselves, the data has a certain delay because traffic does not update them promptly at the end of each exercise. Therefore, those shown here are the radars that more fines imposed In 2023, the last year of which you have data. In spite of everything, we know that in total these 50 cinemometers added 3,355,287 complaints. The figure is 9.4% less than the year 2022 (3,704,675 sanctions) but the growth of some radar is observed that for the first time must have been working at full performance in the same place. This conclusion can take it out because the growth of some speed controllers has been 500% compared to the figure of 2022. In addition, we also know that almost one in four fines that are imposed in Spain arrive from these radars. In total, they made 1,245,053 sanctions, which represents 38 % of the total complaints. By autonomous communities (Basque Country and Cataloniawho have the transferred powers), the most punished region was Andalusia, with 436,273 complaints made. It was followed by the Community of Madrid (210,792 sanctions) and the Valencian Community (127,063 complaints).
