.05 may be all it takes for you to merge into that motorcyclist. Or fail to see that person in the crosswalk. Or the person on the side of the road changing a tire.

This is a release candidate and the third brake light doesn’t work?

Ignoring the 98% to focus on the 2% is feel good legislation. It has had no noticeable impact on crash statics in any of the states that have implemented it.

Significantly less then 2%. Hell, half of them are probably from Chevy ignitions, the rest are Jeeps.

Crashes caused by vehicle mechanical failure 2%
Crashes caused by environmental conditions 2%
Crashes with unknown cause 2%

If a car has character, when it dies it doesn’t go to the junkyard, it goes under a tarp next to your house or in a farmers field somewhere.

The question is how do you account for “lost days.” If pollution means your life is cut short by 5 years due to lung cancer, does that count as one person killed or 1/15 of a person killed because that’s how much of their lifespan was cut short. We wouldn’t define a 38 year old as half a person killed by a Takata…

Well for one thing it wasn’t 117 deaths, it was 16 worldwide. Second, if you believe the estimates, VW actually killed more people though increased pollution than Takata did with airbags. Third, the fine for VW is spelled out in the law where as the fine for Takata isn’t. Forth, VW intended to break the law from the…

You’d be surprised how many 20 year olds can’t use an ipad. Have you ever though about how entering an address in an autonomous car would work? It’s not complicated, enter address, press go. It’s designed to be simple enough to use in a taxi.

Old people aren’t idiots or toddlers, that you think of them as such is your own ignorance. They know how addresses work.

SUVs actually have a far lower fatality rate then equivalently sized sedans. 29 fatalities per million registered vehicles for SUVs vs. 61 per million registered vehicles for cars.

“We pay more and pass the extortion on to you.”

It’s not that it’s difficult for manufacturers to build truck s like that off US spec platforms, they don’t because it would raise the price of the trucks in the regions where they are popular. Regions where a $1000 price increase can tank sales.

LOL, the only one of those 4 that could even be sold in the US, regardless of the chicken tax, is the Fiat Toro. The rest are based off of platforms that can’t meet US regulations.

There still needs to be more revenue generated by the charging stations then the lease costs. The market isn’t there yet.

What manufacturer would import a small truck to the US if the chicken tax didn’t exist? GM, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan already make a small truck in the US. FCA and Ford canceled their small trucks due to poor sales but have recently announced possible small trucks. Hyundai may build a small truck off the Santa Fe. …

The first “gas stations” were hardware/general stores selling cans of gas. Urban areas quickly moved to dedicated pumps but rural areas with little traffic still sold cans of gas. Check out the documentary “Horatio’s Drive,” it talks about those problems and more driving across country in the early days of the car.

My city just uses them to fuck with skateboarders but I’m sure blind people like them too.

I don’t think that it’s too much counter steering but holding the counter steering for too long. You’ve got to stay ahead of the car and not react to it, otherwise you just end up in a pendulum.

Pfffttt. Texans.
