Unless this thing comes with receipts for a recent timing chain guides/tensioner replacement, CP.

For what it’s worth, I drove the XC90 up 87 towards Montreal/Vermont the other day in heavy rain and sleet and apart from a few hard turns the Pilot Assist drove up without a hitch.

For me, driving on those endless, standardized interstate highways is the WORST kind of driving, and exactly what an automated system would be good at. That’s fine with me. I live in New Hampshire and when it’s snowy, I don’t mind driving, it’s exciting and challenging. It’s the boring highway slogs where I’d let the…

You’re going to have to take what you can get. As soon as the technology satisfies a sufficient percentage of the market on a sufficient percentage of roads, manufacturers are going to lose their taste for the exponentially increasing costs of taking the technology to the next level.

Honestly, as long as a car can at least drive itself on clear days, that’s a large majority of every American’s typical commute. Even people who live in the coldest states of the country don’t see heavy snow more than a few days a month.

“Go ahead, take your hands off the wheel. A 5-series steering wheel hasn’t given any feedback in the past 7 years anyway”

The question remains: Will it be able to automate the turn signals that have been missing from BMW cars for so long?

Actually I think that grammar issue was on purpose, in reference to Zoolander

Yet they scrapped the F-22 for this for being “over budget”.

I want the wall. And I don’t give a fuck what some British asshole like John Oliver, who isn’t even funny in the first place, has to say about it.

That’s a good question, I loathe my commute but I’m on here regularly.

“In ten years when most cars and stoplights have them it’ll be great, but you can’t demonstrate it without building a miniature city or funding a real city putting all the sensors/communicators in. Several other companies are much further along with the (more important (in the short term)) actual driving part.”

Even a miniature V12 makes me want a car with a V12.

yEA WASCOMING TO POST THIS. tHANKS FOR THE CLICK-BATE. wAS EXPECTING SOMETHING THAT COULD TAKE FUEL, AIR AND A BIT OF A SPARK AND MAKE SOMETHING MOVE. NOT A STARTER MOTOR SPINNING A WASTE OF PLASTIC.

They either cost money, or hours. In this guy’s case he had no money, so he invested 20,000 hours:

Be pretty awesome if you could buy a scale one instead of the little RC motors there are now. Really it comes down to cost since there’s no mass production. That said, if this could be 3d printed with metal instead of plastic, might actually be something.

Why must you remind me that these exist? I want one so bad...

This is a “fully working” V8. 1/4 scale.
