I’m not sure the Paris Mirai taxi service has expanded to Brussels yet. I heard there were plans to expand to other French cities, not sure about Brussels. Years ago we spoke to taxis in Brussels but they weren’t interested. It was disappointing but in truth, the 1st gen Mirai only sat 2 in the rear
Scored this on the weekend — I’ve always had a thing for the three-colour stripe of that time
Nothing to see here. Just a couple of Corolla Cross sporting a hydrogen combustion engine sitting on the lot here at Fuji Speedway, where the Corolla TGRR went the whole 24-hour race without a glitch for the first time last weekend and a fun go-kart showed the tech can also be miniaturised.
Tada!
You will never guess what these clouds hide
I do remember Victoria on Twitter. My gosh cancer is a bitch. RIP.
Having fun with my best friend last night in Roppongi
Oh no, not again
Rainy day in Tokyo today
I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets
I never know if it’s conclave or convlex
I gotta say, self-inflicted brand destruction at that level in so few months is a sight to behold. I suppose that is what is meant by “move fast and break things.”

The reason China and India are rising, just like Japan rose before them, is they educate their youth thoroughly. All this administration can do to suppress and prevent education of the American people, it’s doing. Dept of Education, research and science, PBS, etc. MAGA thrives on the uneducated.

New painting underway — not sure where I’m going with this but it’s fun!
Hahaha — good one
That’s it. That’s the photo. #car
Hallebos?
Waymo and Toyota are teaming up to bring robotaxi technology into personal vehicles. Waymo has the leading technology in this space but Toyota is extremely risk-averse, so it will be fascinating to see how far they try to take this.
Either way, a seismic event in AVs

Just in: Toyota and Waymo aim to combine their respective strengths to develop a new AV platform. In parallel, the companies will explore how to leverage Waymo's autonomous technology and Toyota's vehicle expertise to enhance next-generation personally owned vehicles.

I have two questions:
Fucked or fucked up?
He’s so fucked or we’re so fucked?
This bike is either cheap or no fun — or both!
Undoubtedly the best news of the week. Christina Balan’s resilience and perseverance is awe inspiring.
