Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

I guess it could be interesting for some people...
Absolutely don't need more in any city
Then how would I show off my beautiful driving abilities at 280km/h?
Laughs in 45 MPH zones (72 Kph)
Not defending it but this car wouldn’t keep up with the regular roads I drive to work. I’m curious how quickly it can accelerate too
Mexico cities are densely populated, you'll never need to drive above 50km/h.
That’s good, shame for export potential but it’s not like the US lets us easily buy imports anyway
That specific prototype is, from what i can tell, designed as a small business delivery vehicle, these are very abundant in Mexico, we are unfortunately a nation of petit resellers. It would only work in big city downtown in the US fwiw, so not missing out on much.
Paratransit users:
I dont think Ive been in a city that didnt have some 60kph stretches while transiting zones, at the very least. It's not a bad vehicle but that is very slow - there are ebikes that are faster.
In my country e-bikes are limited to 45kph. Cities generally are limited to 50kph. We even have a special category for small cars with a 50kph top speed, so maybe Mexico is similar in that aspect.
Most driving in inner city doesn't even go over 35mph without traffic, with traffic people walking with baby strollers would pass any car...
Most places (excluding car centric ones) don't need people to drive on expressways for daily commute.
Combine this with people using trains/planes for long distance infrequent travel and there's no need for high speed driving if all you need is a car for routine stuff.
Only a few places come to mind where this car would be a bad fit and USA, Canada are top of the list
Definitely. That would meet all my needs.
most people.
After they make the PuebloWagon, they can ban ICE vehicles like they did in Ethiopia. Then CDM might finally be a place people can breathe
