Pennsylvania lawmaker wants to make front license plates a requirement
State Sen. Katie Muth — a Democrat representing Berks, Chester and Montgomery counties — wrote a memo planning to introduce legislation on this last week.
She says the reason for this is for public safety.
"Requiring a license plate on the front of a car will improve vehicle identification and enhance public safety by helping law enforcement officers, witnesses, or cameras more easily and quickly identify a vehicle," Muth wrote in her memo.
"Can they prove that? I don't know," Andrew Kicinski of Canonsburg said on Monday.
"Keeps people more accountable," Rebecca Nelson of Jefferson Hills said on Monday.
Muth added that a front plate would help improve toll collection.
"It's government overreach, that's what it is. I don't agree at all," Timothy Sherer of Lawrenceville said on Monday.
Twenty-nine states and Washington, D.C. require front and back plates, according to AutoList. West Virginia requires just one plate, while Maryland requires two.
Ohio just got rid of its double plate requirement in 2020.

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump strikes deal with Japan, but EU digs in with over $100B counterattack
The European Union said on Wednesday it plans to hit the US with 30% tariffs on over $100 billion worth of goods in the event the two sides cannot reach a trade deal by Aug. 1. Bloomberg News reported the European Commission will combine $24 billion in approved tariffs with a proposed $83 billion US goods list into one countermeasure package that would hit everything from American whiskey to cars to Boeing (BA) planes. As the EU digs in, President Trump announced two more deals and finalized a third, most notably a pact with Japan. 'I just signed the largest deal in history with Japan," Trump said during the meeting. The president said the agreement includes a 15% tariff on imported goods from Japan, and the country will invest $550 billion into the US. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump said the US had also struck a trade deal with the Philippines, which will see the country's imports face a 19% tariff into the US. Trump said US exports will face no import tax in the Philippines as part of the deal. The White House also unveiled new details of a confirmed trade agreement with Indonesia too. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul reported that a 19% tariff will apply to Indonesian goods, as well as a 40% rate on any 'transhipped' goods. US officials said no tax would apply to "99%" of US imports. The deal developments come as prospects for larger pacts with India, the EU, and Canada look increasingly in doubt. Trump has threatened 25% to 35% tariffs on those larger trade partners. Trump has also said he would soon send letters to over 150 smaller US trade partners, setting blanket tariff rates for that large group. Trump has already sent letters to over 20 trade partners outlining tariffs on goods imported from their countries. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said he expected many deals to take shape over the next several days.

EU readies €100B no-deal plan to match US 30% tariff The European Union announced on Wednesday it plans to hit the US with 30% tariffs on over $100 billion worth of goods in the event that no deal is made and if President Trump decides to follow through with his threat to impose that rate on most of the bloc's exports after Aug. 1. A European Commission spokesman said that the first part of countermeasures would combine an already approved list of tariffs on $24 billion of US goods and a previously proposed list on an additional on $83 billion of American products into one package. The US exports, which would include goods such as Boeing (BA) aircraft, US-made cars and bourbon whiskey would all face heavy tariffs that match Trump's 30% threat. The tariffs would be prepared to come into force next month but only if there is no deal and the US implements its levies after the August deadline, said the people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Lucid Group Soars After Tesla Supercharger Deal and Model Upgrades
July 23- Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) shares surged about 11% on Tuesday after the luxury EV maker said its entire Air range will plug into Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) Supercharger network via an approved adapter starting July 31, 2025. The expanded access could help address charging convenience for owners. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with LCID. The company also outlined enhancements for its 2026 Air lineup. Lucid raised the EPA?estimated range of its Touring model by more than 6% to 431 miles. Standard additions include a refined air?conditioning compressor designed for quieter operation and upgraded interior amenities aimed at boosting passenger comfort. Earlier this month, LCID stock jumped 39% following an agreement with Uber (NYSE:UBER) and autonomous?vehicle specialist Nuro to roll out up to 20,000 premium robotaxis on Uber's platform over six years. Uber plans to invest several hundred million dollars in Lucid and Nuro as part of the pact. Despite today's uptick, Lucid remains prone to swings, its shares have moved more than 5% on 56 occasions over the past year. At $3.07 per share, the stock sits about 28% below its 52?week peak. Investors may view the Supercharger partnership and model tweaks as positive but incremental. Based on the one year price targets offered by 13 analysts, the average target price for Lucid Group Inc is $2.68 with a high estimate of $7.00 and a low estimate of $1.00.

Tesla Draws Optimism From JPMorgan on Robotaxi Debut
Tesla (TSLA, Financials) is set to report its second-quarter results after the market closes Wednesday, just as JPMorgan issued a cautiously optimistic note about its new robotaxi business. Analysts from JPMorgan rode the autonomous vehicle in Austin and described it as solid and consistently safe a rare endorsement from a firm that has maintained a long-standing bearish view on the stock. Tesla launched the ride-hailing service on June 22 and has already grown its geofenced coverage to 42 square miles in Austin, although Alphabet's Waymo has expanded faster in the same city. Despite the positive test ride, JPMorgan reiterated a Sell rating and a $115 price target on July 7, implying 65% downside from current levels. The firm cited Tesla's valuation as unjustified when compared to peers in the so-called Magnificent Seven. Wall Street expects Tesla to post Q2 adjusted earnings per share of $0.40 on revenue of $22.19 billion. Analysts are especially focused on any updates regarding full-self driving progress and the robotaxi rollout. Investors are also watching how the Trump administration's plan to end EV tax credits could affect Tesla's margins in the upcoming quarters. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
