Even the Wright brothers tested their aircraft in an open field. They didn’t fly over a crowd of people or beside a school because the technology was new and needed testing under a controlled condition. I have no affiliation with Uber, but because they choose to test these vehicles in my city early in their…

The images generated by the camera are a poor representation of what the human eye would see. An XC90 is equipped with HID xenon bulbs, but due to the way camera sensors work there’s a low dynamic range so either the light will be blown out or the blacks will be crushed in low light conditions. Even with worn out…

Probably they started with an x86 emulator that required little modification to work on the PS/Xbox CPUs, but which would require heavy modification or rewriting to work with the Switch’s ARM processor.

I would totally play Call of the Marder II.

Nearly every headline about a train vs pedestrian accident uses similar language.

Or you can look at particulate emissions requirements in China and Europe. They’re already causing OEMs to add an entirely new emissions component (gasoline particulate filter + related components) to meet those requirements. But the question is: is this the best way to reduce particulate emissions, or can it be…

Call me crazy, but if I were shipping a ‘1 of 1' model of a car, I’d probably pay a little extra for an enclosed carrier.

Neutral: I don’t really have an idea whether Tesla will be around in 10 years or not, but I do wonder what will happen to their Supercharging network if they do go out of business in the short term. Every other manufacturer seems to have selected the SAE J1772 adapter for EV charging, so will there be any business…

So if I see a used car I like in Carvana’s inventory, I should find someone else who is selling the same model of car and go sit in it, with no intent to actually buy it, just so I can know whether I can buy that car from the vending machine?

As someone over 6', that still sounds like a recipe for disaster. There are lots of cars out there that I can’t fit in regardless of how much I adjust the seats (my personal favourite was a Kia where my head was so far outside of the sunroof that my eyes were above the roof of the car, even with the seat all the way…

I much preferred the “Endangered Species” trailer for F4, but I can understand why they changed the intro since this one could be seen as glorifying street racing.

There are a couple of auto part stores around me whose delivery fleets are mainly stripper-spec Sparks and an old Ranger or S-10. I’d imagine they’d go for an electric option to save on operating costs considering they’re already using the smallest, cheapest thing they can find and it seems to suit their needs just…

It’s been a while since I played Banished, but one thing I remember is that you always have to be slowly expanding. Adults will only pair off and start having kids if there’s an unclaimed house for them to move into so if you don’t expand everybody will just keep living with their parents instead of pairing off and…

Blank one side out! Embrace the asymmetry!

Yep, when I was younger I even had a Mazda in what I liked to call “Road Camo Grey”. It was the color of dirty asphalt. I suspect we’ll naturally start seeing more light-colored cars as EVs make bigger inroads though. I went with white when I bought my PHEV because I knew how hot my previous car got (dark blue with a…

I counted 33. At points there were only 2 sentences of article between advertisements. I realize the company needs to make money, but I’m not even going to attempt the rest of this article without an ad-blocker installed.

I still think the most egregious examples are the Toyota GT-One and Nissan R390.

Is it any surprise that a car built to win at Le Mans dominates at the American track most similar to La Sarthe? The GTs walked away at Daytona last year too but still won fewer races than the BMWs and ended up in 3rd place in the Manufacturer Championship behind Chevrolet and BMW.

I’m in my first winter with a PHEV and the instant torque delivery can be quite a challenge on slippery roads. I’ve spun my tires in situations where my old RWD would’ve powered through without an issue, even if I may have had to launch it in 2nd gear. That said, I doubt I’ll ever go back to a pure ICE vehicle just…

So incentivize riders to refuse good drivers, accept bad drivers, and give low ratings so that there are more cheap drivers available?
