An interesting aspect is that they acquire US companies, where it is legally possible to lay off employees. In Italy, where BS is based, firing employees is much more difficult
They acquired European companies in the past and did similar things (e.g. Komoot). They are in the process of acquiring Eventbrite, where a big part of the workforce is located in Spain, and the feeling is that they are going to do the same there.
It will probably take more time due to legal processes and severance packages may be better, but I don't think this is going to stop them, let's see.
This decision triggers me because in the EU we sell cars that can go twice as fast as the speed limits, which could be very dangerous if used improperly, yet we ban technologies that are harmless and facilitate everyday life
More likely 130kph, in most countries this is the upper limit on the highways and you effectively have no public areas in the country with higher limit. So the OP is kinda right with their take.
Exactly, in all EU are sold cars that can go way more than 130kph but yet we ban technologies because it “could” be dangerous in specific limited cases.
