The solution may be the following. This is an SUV from Verizon, which can be raised approximately 3 meters above the ground so it can pass over other cars. Weighs 3.864 pounds and needed 2 months to build.
So the following video gives us a solution to be able to overtake all the cars in front of us in line and reach our destination faster. Let's see if such a thing will really come on the market.
See it and you will understand….

The Rachon Route – Key (6 tolls) through the tunnels will cost 15,10 euro, while through the old national in Tempi and Platamonas 14,80 euro (It is recalled that a toll station will be "moved" to the old route, in which trucking will be prohibited).

Stricter emissions laws in Europe

European legislation in favor of the citizen and the environment.
KEIMENO: IRINI MOUSTAKARIA
European lawmakers approve tougher laws to approve new cars to be sold in the European Union. More specifically, the new regulations aim to address conflicting interests between national regulators and domestic manufacturers in order to avoid a repeat of a scandal such as Volkswagen Group's emissions cheating scandal.
The European Parliament voted with votes 585 pro and 77 under new bill that strengthens EU oversight and allows Brussels to fine carmakers, until 30.000 euros per vehicle.
To be valid, however, the new law must be completed after consultations between EU legislators, the European Commission and the member states.
According to the draft law, Automakers will no longer pay testing agencies directly in a bid to break 'customers'’ bonds in their relationships. In the future, EU states will have to fund car emissions testing centers or can charge car manufacturers for’ this purpose.
Every year, EU member states should at least try 20% of the car models sold in their market in the previous year.

The demand for diesel is constantly decreasing

According to a recent report by Automotive News, demand for diesel models will fall by 30% in the near future, while the interest of manufacturers is shifting to electric cars.
Analyzes that have come to light predict a gradual decline in demand for diesel vehicles, which according to Automotive News will reach the 30% up to 2020. Creating playgrounds for use by children with mobility problems and ensuring their access to all municipal structures and schools, the article talks about the "disappearance" of diesel vehicles in the coming years, as more and more European cities will have a hostile attitude towards them.
We expect developments on this issue in the Autumn, where the EU will announce new emission limits, based on actual measurements on the road and not in a lab. Analysts point out that this development will bring about several changes in motoring, as many manufacturers will not be able to catch the new limits.
Naturally, the above data bring the new gasoline engines to the fore again (their development is much more accessible) and are pushing manufacturers to make bigger leaps in electrification.

Driving autonomy is long overdue

Mercedes-Benz lands us in reality and drops the ball on Tesla

TEXT: IRINI MOUSTAKARIA

Because all car manufacturers indulge in recent p’ an impressive game about self-propelled vehicles and the feats they perform every day in the workshops and on the roads, Mercedes-Benz decided to put things right. It supports, Well, that fully autonomous vehicles will become a reality in at least ten years.
The German brand's Head of Test Identification, Jochen Haab, revealed that self-driving systems are currently bogged down’ between the level 2 and 3 and they are far from flat 5 which is the top.
'To have that level of automation where you sit in the car at point X and tell it to go to point P - you might as well have programmed it in advance- the moment you write on your laptop and it tells you in a short time 'ok you can download', ten years away from becoming a reality’ says Haab. And it complements: It is still late for the level systems to be installed 5 in such cars. The only exception is Tesla, which has already installed them and is conducting its official tests..
Now we are not sure if the German is pointing at’ this way his admiration for Tesla or throws down the gauntlet to present its achievements. It is known that the Germans have been accusing the American company of misleading marketing and empty words for years now. Haab in fact, he does not hesitate to send a message in any direction: 'We are of the opinion 'either the best or nothing’ and we leave nothing to chance'.
