I agree. I don’t push the stoplight button most of the time. The timers associated are set up for people much slower than I am. Also, I’ll jaywalk if it’s safe to do it.  It’s frustrating when I’m driving, a person pushes the button, then proceeds to jaywalk anyways.  That’s another 90 seconds I will never get back.

ND.
Too many years in the parts biz, in which we knew that whole company as “it’s a boo-boo”, with some spotty parts availability when they still sold passenger vehicles here. Nowadays, I shudder to think.

Sure, paint a picture as if some idiot was hydroplaning over kindergartners at 100 mph.

Why is this technology legal? Whose interests does it even serve to allow this?

I just got my Model Y. Has FSD for 30 days, I’ve tried it 3 or 4 times, everytime I had a false stop (including cars in driveways that were unoccupied but the car stopped in the middle of the lane) and one where a parked car was deemed to be in my lane and also stopped, based on this very limited experience I won’t be…

I firmly believe that visible spectrum cameras alone are the best way to go (perhaps with the addition of radar parking sensors). Lidar, radar, V2V, V2X, etc. are all crutches that serve only to prop-up a system that just cannot do what they are hoping they can make it do. Lidar and Radar don’t provide nearly as good…

Are these the same tickets you can file in the trash bin basically without any consequences?

The Honest Ad About Vipers (I’m sure you’ve read it)

Jalopnik got sold last week. Static Media is the new owner, who also bought The Takeout from G/O Media a few months ago. Static got rid of comments on The Takeout so I won’t be surprised if they do the same thing here.

Where is cgo2370? Kinja commenting will be ending in the next few days and I think a bittersweet way to wrap things up would be one of cgo’s trademark “Shut up, tomato” posts.

“Anyone have experience with the no power steering? I’m sure it’s fine at speed (maybe even better!) but what’s it like navigating a parking lot?”

On a small, light car like a Miata it’s no problem at all, when your moving, even at slow speeds. If stopped and turning your wheels, a little more effort is required. Note…

America’s kei car.

My ‘96 Ranger 5 speed had power nothing. I was a scrawny teenager too, but, I eventually mastered parallel parking 1st try everytime because of it.

the buyer is most likely a bad guy IRL also 

Call me crazy but you shouldn’t NEED to be able to trace specific security leaks back to Musk to take action. Regular communication with a hostile foreign power should be enough to forfeit government contracts. 

So what happened with Chapman? 

America has no shame anymore. You have an ex-President praising Nazis and paying pornstars. A significant portion of the population are taking their social cues from that bloviating orange idiot. Social entitlement and the rise of “Karen” are skyrocketing, while social shame is all but gone.

I genuinely do not understand why people stand up and crowd at an airport gate. I will quite literally sit in my seat until they announce “final call for boarding”, and only then will I get up to get on the plane. Plane seats are uncomfortable, gate seats are at least a bit better. Why do people insist on being on…
