I have no doubt that Toyota will eventually be the leader in self-driving technology. TSS 4.0 coming in a couple of years should be based on the NVIDIA supercomputer and operating system.

Excellent must-read information by Consumer Reports on how leasing can save you many thousands of dollars over buying when you get a new BEV or PHEV.

The Prius PHEV qualifies for a $4,500 lease credit.

I remain a fan of Sandy Munro and this latest YouTube show why:

• Rivian has gone KISS on their current generation
  • reduce electrical wiring and controllers
  • simplified suspension
  • casting battery pack parts
• Next year version is another clean sheet design
• Sensible self-driving
  • cameras and radar
• Sensible, car focused CEO

I'm likely to hold off on replacing my 2019 Model 3 and continue my 'Bob's Jobs' enhancements. I'm making it into the car I want, well beyond (and different) from what ordinary folks put up with. But the current Rivian deserves a second look and the 2026 model sounds a whole lot better.

On the theory of buy low and sell high, I may put a little 'mad money' into Rivian stock. I like the CEO, their technical direction, and practicality.
