Keep in mind, statistically speaking Autopilot is already safer at highway driving than humans.

This could be a lot of things, but I’d wager that Teslas data showed the driver pressed the gas pedal, and that maybe autopilot wasn’t engaged either, and they (Musk or a Lawyer) simply called the driver up and warned him about the lawsuit for defamation of character if he persisted with the “lie”.

Maybe so, but I’ve also talked with supercar owners and they tend to be meticulous with dealership maintenance, which isn’t cheap, but probably gives the bonus of a well inspected and running car.
This is also, not to mention all of the 458's and Aventador’s that simply burned to the ground.

My best friend and brother both own BMW’s in the 70-90k mile range and I have had to help them fix all of the problems that seem to continually crop up. Even without the dealership doing the work the cars have been expensive to keep running without a SEL.

More reliable than they used to be != “extremely reliable”.
I doubt they are as reliable as a Z06 which is ~1/3rd as much and just as fast, and they certainly aren’t as reliable as most economy cars.

The reviews have pegged the ATS-V as having the best handling and driving dynamics in the segment...at least until the Alpha came along.

Sadly the interior is still a few years behind in plushness so it often gets overlooked in comparisons.

The saying is “9 you’re fine, 10 your mine”.
So your police officer was an idiot. And the reason is that there is no difference in a 7 and 9 over ticket. In most states they are bracketed together, usually having 1 point and some fine.
At 10 over you move into the third bracket meaning a bigger fine and another point.

Most people who are driving in a 55mph zone...?

Anything would be better than what these Giulia’s are experiencing, but seriously...an M3? Reliability wise (at least out of warranty) BMW’s have no legs to stand on.

Exactly. After the Delta (I think) tweet of a girl penetrating herself with a model plane, and among the tirade of idiotic tweets from the leader of the free world this tweet is relatively tame.

What Rule of Aquisition is that exactly?

Ideally wouldn’t all of these things be redundancies? Hopefully they would be designed such that they could fall back on it’s optical sensors.

I think that we could get away with requiring some very basic proximity sensor be placed in old cars. It would be relatively cheap (theoretically provided for free by the gov) and would allow the autonomous cars to know the relative location of older cars as a redundancy to it’s visual sensors.

Because haggling a lower price implies that the object is worth less, and if you know that to be fundementally false then you are lying. How is this hard to understand?

Hell, I bought a Miata that had been parked in a lawn for years with broken brake lines for $500, fixed it up and drove it for a few months before flipping it for $2200 and even then I felt slightly guilty.

Without a dollar sign, the title reads rather like a prediction of WWIII.

Read up in other posts. Automatics are in racing because they are faster, and racing seems to be more about the car and less about the driver anymore. But if you were to set them all back to manual, you would surely see the rankings change as some peoples skill might shine more than others.

I hope it does have traction/stability so that it can come to America (and...y’know...sell well enough to stay in business in general).

The funny thing is when people defend automatics I feel like they are a fake most often. Someone who pretends to be into racing but really just want’s to look cool to everyone.
As far as driving goes a manual is about 40% of the experience (or significantly more if you are talking just drag racing). I get that you…

See the only problem here is Fun and Luxury are somewhat at odds with eachother...at least until you get into more expensive stuff.
