So I guess #WaywardWaymos are a thing now?

Unoccupied, driverless #Waymo #cars have invaded a neighborhood near us, repeatedly #driving into a dead-end road, around the cul-de-sac, then driving out. They're not there to pick up passengers. But there are plenty of children and pets in the area.

The cars are lost. And on auto-repeat.

#Empty #Waymos invade #Atlanta #neighborhood, circle #CulDeSac for hours with no #passengers

One aspect of driving an EV that doesn't get enough attention is regenerative braking. The Kia app has started showing how much power is fed back to the battery for each of my trips and it's typically around 40%. I'm surprised how high it is. ICE vehicles in contrast waste all of their forward momentum when braking.

I've heard of people with 10-year-old EVs in Hawaii who have had to replace rotors and other parts of the brake assembly while the pads look almost new.
