Less CO2 for sure but do any of these studies also factor in increased tire dust from EVs since they are heavier and wear out tires faster?

About a year ago the Ford CEO (who is also Chris Farley's cousin) explained why legacy car manufacturers could not make good software: each of their cars have 150+ modules, each of them from several suppliers, each of them writing their own software.
For every software change on each module, they have to go to a supplier to ask because of IP rights.
That is why Ford is/was trying to build a new generation of modules with in-house software which they never wrote before.
Also pertinent: "Why Ford decided to merge its next-gen architecture with its current platform" https://archive.ph/CR2Pv
They also dictate that their suppliers will all use AUTOSAR which is a legacy framework that makes even toggling a GPIO difficult.

you'll spend a few more months sitting in online seminars while some talking head explains why it takes 6 hours to configure a million goddamn things so their garbage tool can shit out an entire Italian resaurant's worth of spaghetti code just to blink an LED at 1Hz. Except it's not 1Hz, it's 10Hz, or 0.1Hz, or some other bullshit that you didn't want, because you muttered the wrong incantation to the configuration utility somewhere around step 2 out of 800, so guess what, you get to back and do the entire fucking thing again.kqr2 commented on Kindle is removing download and transfer option on Feb 26th old.reddit.com/r/kindle/c... · Posted by u/andyjohnson0
Is there a script to download all your Kindle books?
What about wealthy people with low AGI but lots of assets?
What _does_ matter is the huge reduction in the much more dangerous brake dust, as electric vehicles convert the kinetic energy back to the battery charge via generation instead of wasting it via friction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44666157
This comment says EVs generate 10-15% more tire dust which is a significant ocean pollutant.
Does anyone know the impact on human health?
