I’m pleasantly surprised at the positive early reviews coming in for the MG Cyberster (what a silly name). Although the car has a few weird quirks and affectations (the scissor doors are out of place, and those arrow taillights…ehh), the platform itself appears solid and amenable to future tuning.
The thought of going canyon-carving in a silent EV roadster is honestly very appealing.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was at fault for a Sunday morning auto accident in western Maryland, where he was speeding before rear-ending another driver, a 62-year old woman, who was taken to the hospital, according to a Maryland State Police report.

How would you deal with connection dropouts and lag? It would be like playing the world’s laggiest video game.
