According to the requirements of the Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations, the recall plan was filed with the State Administration for Market Regulation.
It is reported that the vehicles within the scope of this recall do not allow the driver to choose the energy recovery braking strategy; at the same time, there may not be enough reminders for the driver to depress the accelerator pedal deeply for a long time.

Bard AI chatbot temporarily unavailable in EU due to potential GDPR legal issues
Google kicked off its I/O 2023 conference by showing off some fancy artificial intelligence experiments. The ensuing keynote was filled with AI-centric content, and the wider availability of Google Bard was certainly key. Ditching the waiting list and rolling out Bard to over 180 countries around the world, they missed out on an important geopolitical region – the European Union (EU).
Without explicitly acknowledging that it doesn’t offer its services in the EU, Google said on the same support page that it would “expand to more countries and regions in a manner consistent with local regulations.” But despite the clear reasons, it’s easy to link this decision to the EU’s strict rules around user privacy, specifically the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR.

Hubble zooms in on cosmic light show: Beautiful glowing Seifert galaxy discovered
The lenticular galaxy NGC 5283 is featured in this image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.
NGC 5283 contains an active galactic nucleus, or AGN. The AGN is an extremely bright region at the center of a galaxy that hosts a supermassive black hole. As dust and gas fall into the black hole, the matter heats up and emits light across the electromagnetic spectrum.
