That article is comparing the particle emissions from brakes / tires of electric cars to the tailpipe emissions of gas cars. Makes no sense to me, it seems like most gas cars have tires and brakes also. Another of those highly biased articles / studies that compare apples to oranges to try to...
That may or may not be the driver. My sister has a Tesla and likes to use the autopilot a lot. Sometimes it does weird things - like when a vehicle approaches from a side road and stops: The Tesla will drive past it and then suddenly slow down. There were a few other times when it braked and...
