Has any state ever rejected an AP course before? Or is this breaking new ground?

I think in most cases the feet of the people in the front are behind the front axles. Maybe the axles could be under people's butts but that would be a dramatic change leaving no crumple zone or an exaggerated front overhang over the axles.
Some EVs, such as a Tesla Model S, have already pushed the axles really close to the front of the car so I don't think there is a lot of room to move the passengers further forward.

I wonder if climate scientists are aware of such information?
Of course they fucking are.

I could be wrong, I'm just going by what I see. It look like the top of the device is shaped like a wing, so the low pressure on the top of the wing is drawing air upwards through the cylinder. And maybe the bottom is closed off to capture air and make the bottom higher pressure. Hopefully the thing can rotate like a wind sock so it is always facing into the wind.

The article mentions that shipping heavy batteries is expensive so most of the battery factories are planning to be located near the automotive factories.

The law is well written. It does not specify a technology, it says they must all follow the IEEE standard, which is an industry organization. The standard can't change for at least three years.
It just so happens that the current standard is USB-C.

Reply to Starlink Is ‘Forced’ To Finally Start Caring About The System’s Light Pollution And Harm To Scientific Research by Albion_Tourgee
Hey, I've got a good idea. People who need to see beyond the Starlink swarm can just pay SpaceX to help deploy their stuff into orbit beyond the Starlink satellites. Problem solved!
