What a load. He's arguments aren't correct. First, it's just an appeal to emotion and a bad analogy. The testing and QA for your phone, tablet, or whatever consumer grade device is no where near the same as for a safety-critical device.

And they can do it hundreds of thousands of times faster than a human. It's all a matter of getting it the correct input (ie - knowing it's environment), once that's done, human drivers will be on the critically endangered list.

Uh, more and more electronics control are packed into modern cars and they are MORE reliable than they ever have been. Don't confuse ECM electronics with the infotainment ones, they are completely separate engineering processes.

It's more reliable than a human behind the wheel, so far. That's all that matters. Also, you can't compare your consumer grade equipment with stuff that's safety-critical, they are almost entirely different fields of engineering.

It likely does not use consumer-grade equipment.

My video game/autocross experience tells me yes, there are cases. Likely only in certain specific situations where the engine RPM, and/or car position is more optimal for a given corner/section than not breaking traction. I know there are a couple spots in tracks in GT where I don't lose much time/gain some time by…

It would have to be slowed down proportionally to the amount it was sped up.... you would notice. It's the wide angle lense that makes it seem sped up.

What? Cop can tear up the ticket if he wants. It's only set 'in stone' after it's submitted.

Well, they did decide to jump a clerk after he had been to the bank (and deposited loads of cash)...

Many changes are. Non-EPA approved cats are, as well as any injector changes, adding a turbo, aftermarket ECU, exhaust, intake, etc. There are very few changes that are actually legal to do to an engine for a car used on public roads. I'm saying the enforcement is such a joke that modifying despite it being illegal is…

Not really? What not really? The disabling of emissions devices, or in this case modifying them is exactly what I'm talking about. If the coal rollers keep this up, anyone's who's made emissions modifications—no matter how benign, might lose. 'Rolling coal' is just increasing the fuel, AFAIK, not removing any EGR.

"Should alcohol be illegal because it's unsafe?"

They already have this in pretty much every state. It's rarely enforced.

If the EPA actually had an enforcement arm, or one that cared about individual cars, there would definitely be fines. I'm worried that if this 'rolling coal' trend gets any more attention the EPA might start investigating and we'll all lose. High flow cat? Standalone ECU? Bigger turbo or injectors? Sorry, $10,000 fine…

It really looked like the left brake light was out. Hard to be sure.

I'm not disagreeing with you there but placing all the blame on the original borrower you are omitting a large part of the crisis.

Since I'll likely never be a multimillionaire I have to take advantage of what I've got. The rewards programs are in the person who keeps zero revolving balances' best interest. They are banking on you having a revolving balance.

You can use credit cards without racking up debt. You also can take advantage of the cashback rewards they offer.

It wasn't just "stupid people signing up for things they can't afford", but lenders outright lying to the applicants at the behest of some financial institutions. In other words, the lenders should have refused to lend to some of these people but did it anyway and told the people "Oh, don't worry, you can afford this".

I've been had.
