Многие из тех кто активно работал с Python2 несколько удивлены, почему в Python3 удобная функция reload() переехала из builtin в imp а потом и в importlib?
Ну было же удобно! А теперь лишний импорт😖
Дело в том, что начиная с Python3.3 функция reload() переписана на Python вместо Cи.
Что это нам даёт?
🔸 Такой код проще поддерживать и развивать
🔸 Python код легче читать, изучать и понимать.
Сравните это ➡️ и это ➡️.
🔸 Как результат пункта 2, проще писать свои расширения импорта. Например, пользовательский импортёр с какой-либо хитрой логикой по аналогии с импортом из zip архивов.
А есть ли у этого решения недостатки? Да, они всегда есть.
🔹 Так как это не builtin функция, её следует импортнуть перед использованием
🔹 Скорость замедлилась примерно на 5%. Очевидно, что это совершенно не критично. К тому же от версии к версии логика импорта будет оптимизироваться и ускоряться.
В самом начале файла importlib/__init__.py мы видим такой импорт:
import _imp # Just the builtin component, NOT the full Python module
То есть часть функционала по прежнему написана на Си, но достаточно низкоуровневая.

🚘 Cybercab announced: Elon Musk’s robotaxi is finally here
📍 Tesla boss Elon Musk has unveiled the firm's long-awaited robotaxi, the Cybercab, at the Warner Bros Studios in Burbank, California.
🚕 The robotaxi is a purpose-built autonomous vehicle, lacking a steering wheel or pedals, meaning it will need approval from regulators before going into production. The design was futuristic, with doors that open upward like butterfly wings and a small cabin with only enough space for two passengers. There was no steering wheel or pedals, nor was there a plug — Musk said the vehicle charges inductively to regain power wirelessly.
🚐 In a surprise, the company also revealed a "robovan," a self-driving van capable of carrying up to 20 passengers or being configured for cargo purposes.
🪙 Musk said that autonomous cars are expected to be 10–20 times safer than human-driven vehicles and could cost as little as 20 cents per mile, compared to the $1 per mile for city buses.

New 🚘 electric cars will get Chinese autopilot
It will be developed by startup Momenta and will debut on the CLA electric sedan. The hardware will be based on Nvidia's Orin X chip.
The all-electric CLA will be equipped with a high-level intelligent driving system that does not rely on high-definition maps. This advanced system will provide navigation in the city, and mass production of the electric car is scheduled for April 2025.
Mercedes-Benz is one of Momenta's investors, along with GM and SAIC.

🚕Waymo robotaxis are back at the center of a scandal
📍 This time, the vehicles caused chaos on the streets of San Francisco.
🚥 The autonomous taxis use the traffic-light system for navigation, so when it goes down, route planning breaks as well.
⛔ For several hours, Waymo cars stood on the roads like bricks, blocking other drivers from getting through.
Is rise of the the machines beginning?

😰Three Waymo robotaxis caused a “standoff” and blocked a street in San Francisco
📰 In the northern part of San Francisco, three Waymo autonomous taxis got stuck on a narrow street, completely blocking traffic. Two cars lightly collided while trying to maneuver, after which both went into emergency mode, and the third stopped right in front of them, creating a full traffic jam.
😤 Because of this, residents couldn’t leave their driveways and had to wait for company engineers to intervene and resolve the situation. All vehicles were empty — no passengers were inside.
💬 Waymo commented on the incident, calling it a “learning moment” for improving their autonomous driving system.
