Neutral: I understand that vehicle manufacturers want to get their self-driving tech on the roads in order to test it in real traffic, but I really wish they weren’t allowed to drive fully autonomously like Waymo’s test fleet. The tech still isn’t mature enough and I personally believe that full autonomy won’t be…

Also not acceptable, is sharing a lane with a bike. Motorcycles don’t take up a full lane and are entitled to use the whole lane, just like you are.

You could buy this 2018 GT-R for $100,000:

Ew. I was thinking of grabbing it if it tried to recapture that old CoD feel, but if the game encourages running and gunning with low-damage rifles then I’m out. I’d much rather see one or two shot kills with a reliance on positioning than a giant melee where G.I. Hero saves the day time and time again.

Your example only works if a single manufacturer has a monopoly on the market. If two or more automakers are competing and one automaker was making a $30k car for $37k, another manufacturer would just sell their electric car for $35k and dominate the market.

Just like flashing lights and bells on slot machines, I bet this mechanic is designed to make boxes seem more exciting and normalize their use in order to encourage others to participate. Nobody would realistically care about what skins you just unlocked except to get excited by proxy if you happen to get a desirable…

I feel like you’ve glossed over the point that these incentives are to drive investment into the charging infrastructure. Without a charging infrastructure nobody will buy an EV, and without EVs nobody will invest in chargers. It doesn’t matter how expensive or cheap an EV is, nobody will buy one if it can’t be…

Buyers won’t gravitate towards EVs if a suitable charging infrastructure isn’t in place, but there is no incentive to build a charging infrastructure unless people are buying EVs. It’s a chicken/egg problem. To promote EVs, the government could either incentivize building EV charging stations for cars that nobody was…

It sounds like he was also working under contract to the city council. It may sound appealing to go ‘fuck it’ and walk away, but when you’re relied upon to provide a service and employ so many people, it’s considered good form to provide notice that service may be disrupted and contracts broken. Was the company in…

Yeah, it looks pretty bad. From the CBC homepage:

I just hope this meaningless move doesn’t open the door for the FCC to sell off the wireless bands set aside for V2V communication. It might be easy to reinstate the mandate once an administration that’s actually interested in administrating is back in charge, but if cell phones are suddenly using the 5.8-5.9 GHz…

My car has the port in the front fender and I really wish it was on the back of the car. The battery is even under the cargo floor (Ford C-Max) so why waste the wire to move the port to the front!

Electric motor sounds are generally louder the faster they spin and the more load that is placed on them, but electric cars need to be more audible at lower speeds (e.g. parking lots) where the motors won’t make much noise. Also, most electric motors will be buried deep within the engine bay of a car surrounded by…

Not too keen on the singing, but it would be nice to have some noise at parking lot speeds. I recently bought a plug-in hybrid and just yesterday I almost hit a pedestrian that stepped out from between two parked cars without even glancing in my direction. Once the car is up to speed the wheels provide enough road…

Does Manafort only own a single property or does he hold property around the world? It might be easier to buy multiple vehicles so that you have a fleet at your other houses rather than parking 4 Range Rovers at a single estate.

Buttery males?

BMW really captured lightning in a bottle with the E39/E46 design. I don’t think there’s another car that seems as modern regardless of its age.

I think the character artists forgot about him a long time ago.

Jason, I just have to say thank you for providing these in-depth articles about the game development industry. As a gamer it can be disappointing to see promising projects killed, but articles like this just reinforce the fact that these are businesses that need to make smart decisions with money to continue existing.…
