I'm dying of laughter, that's hardly even a real article.

I'm not inside GM at all, but lots of family has worked for them for a long time and I'm a service technician at a dealership that sells their products.

I don't think you understood what I wrote, because I dealt with everything you just said.

"It's illegal to 'tune' cars that are street driven, you're messing with the emissions control system. The EPA would throw me in jail for tuning. Now, you can't really prove it. But if you get a speeding ticket going 70mph in a 60…

I agree wholeheartedly.

As long as you don't force everybody to do that. That's for people who don't want to own a car and want it to be an appliance.

I posted something similar in reply to someone else.

I agree. Basically, driverless cars will take people not interested in driving (who drive now, but poorly) out of the equation. Meaning it'll be like the Autobahn in Germany where people are trained well enough to stay right, merge well, etc.

God I hope not, we don't have enough for the ones with people in them.

In all reality, self driving cars will improve traffic among many other things. It'll remove the people who aren't interested in driving from the road, so those people who formerly sat in the left lane or yakked in the phone while a traffic jam…

I own a tuning company, I have software to tune several brands of OEM ECM, as well as quite a few prominent aftermarket ones.
I'm also an ASE certified technician who is a graduate of GM's ASEP program with my A.S. in Automotive Technology. I work at a dealership. I'm not an Engineer yet, but I'm getting there slowly…

Nobody is going to modify a car they don't drive.

It's going to accelerate at a preprogramed rate and go the speed limit anyways. All that stuff will be legislated. Accelerate maximum of .05G, cars must maintain 1 mph under the limit... Etc.

The real issue as I see it is how are the driverless cars going to mix with…

It's easy to total old cars. It's not hard to do $500 worth of damage, but it's hard to get around the fact that the car is only officially worth $1000.

I'm just curious, but why isn't anybody bashing the shit out of lambos for exploding?

I mean, I see the fire extinguisher jokes, but if this was any non-super car car brand people would be pretty furious they consistently do this.

Here's a hint: building a supercar isn't hard or more dangerous than a regular one, just…

First, I'll just say you're comment is clearly in the minority. I've gotten more recommendations on that post than anything I've ever posted on Jalopnik, 10+ now.

You clearly have no idea how things work inside that company.

First, to declare that CHRYSLER changed their ways and we are behind? Lol, GM's product is quite…

And also no idea of why HP/L is so fucking meaningless.

Do you realize that doesn't make a difference?

I jump cars every day at work where the battery is mounted in the center of the car, under the rear seat, or in the trunk. I jump them all from the hood, from a clearly labeled POSITIVE JUNCTION and any old ground.

You don't have to hook jumpers to the battery to jump a…

I'm just saying, if your opinion is 5 years old, it's outdated and you probably shouldn't be posting it because it's misinformation at this point. Would you like me to go through and count what percentage of GM cars have been refreshed or introduced as completely new models in the last 5 years?

Unfortunately, "I have…

Could?

So basically, you're slandering a company based on worn-out bullshit experience?

Do you have any idea how easy it is to jump a Volt or ZR1?

Why should this be a hard process? Explain under what logic making this difficult is good?

Oh, I wasn't even in the boy scouts, my brother was.
I was in the division for everyone else related to the boy scouts who just wanted to build one, lol.
But yes, horse shit. If I had to pick a particular day I lost my faith in humanity and became a pessimist, that would be it.

lol at these cars man. Fucking garbage. I don't care how "hyper" it supposedly is when it works, it shouldn't be this difficult to jump.

In America, we couldn't even do this because we'd be 'polluting the sand' when somebody blew up and dropped oil. EPA and other three-letter groups would never allow such.

Yeah, but I have a feeling they didn't do any of that (because I have a feeling they're not smart enough to understand thats how the things work), and that has me wondering how they managed to do this.

And I wasn't even the original person who asked the question.
