9. Toyota will begin producing electric vehicles with built-in manual transmissions in 2026. Electric cars will have a built-in device that includes a gear shift lever and clutch pedal, as well as devices that simulate a tachometer and “idle speed”. If, when starting from a stop, the speed is below idle speed when the “clutch” is depressed, the car’s inverter will instantly set the electric motor torque to zero. Drivers of such electric vehicles will be asked to disable the manual transmission mode during normal driving.

It depicts an example of the use of the Pythagorean theorem, which was born 1000 years after the production of the table - in 570-490 BC. “There is concrete evidence that indisputably indicates that the Pythagorean theorem was discovered and proven by Babylonian mathematicians 1000 years before the birth of Pythagoras”, - says the American scientist.
