EVs to get "Smarter" in HK

[shri]

Quite the quantum leap for EVs in HK.

Suspect this is mainly due to complaints related to throttling of tech found in EVs from across the board.

Also, drivers will be allowed to view any content on dashboard displays -- including navigation, entertainment, or real-time data -- while the parking brake is engaged starting next month.

This seems to be related to remote parking and not "auto park" .. where the car tells you it can fit into a space and you allow it to park itself.

Drivers will be allowed to use smartphones or other devices to remotely park their vehicles starting March 1, the Transport Department announced on Sunday.

Electric taxis, buses, goods vehicles, and recovery vehicles with a minimum rated power of seven kilowatts will no longer require expressway permits, joining private EVs and high-powered motorcycles that are already exempt.

and randomly ..

The maximum height for single-deck buses will increase from 3.5 to four meters, and LED lamps and indicators will be permitted in line with global standards.

And a mandatory comment about the lack of faxing capabilities in cars due to slow regulatory approvals.

Not yet. If I start posting as a "non tesla" owner, it means I have won a minor or major mark six draw.
