Exactly. Here at work with no sound. Can someone give the written version?

Same. Let’s get a written copy, please. 

In college, I went to my friend’s house to help him replace the timing belt on his beloved 1985 Civic. It’s a pretty straightforward but lengthy job. We collected the new belt and a few small new parts and placed them on the garage floor next to the car.

Seriously, how many of us are reading this at work and can’t take 5-10 minutes to watch a video? I almost exclusively read this site while I am at work.

I won’t spoil the story for you

This is the 2020 version of flying cars...

I don’t think subscriptions will eclipse private owership. People like to leave things in their cars (car seats, blankets, first aid kits, tow straps) or mount accessories like bike racks or roof racks. People who want a clean car all the time (or a car with THEIR crap) will rather own than rent a car that was crapped…

It’s a small canoe that doesn’t sink, seems to fit the bill of a good canoe. 

That’s cute. You’re assuming we’ll be allowed to do normal rural human things after they pass the Motor Law... I hope you’ve got an uncle with a country place that no one knows about.

Guys like Musk refuse to believe (or simply can’t conceive) that people actually like to do things “out in nature” that might require “boats”, “skis”, “kayaks”, or “bikes”. They’re ensconced in a bubble where everyone is just like them (but far stupider), and solutions to their problems are the solutions to everyone’s …

What if I really want to back up into the fucking neighbors trashcan to move it out of the way? Computer says no.

This is just one of literally billions of weird edge cases that autonomous car boosters are currently pretending don’t exist. We can get to Level 4 autonomy without handling these problems, but I honestly think Level 5 will require something like genuine intelligence to make happen.

You won’t own an autonomous vehicle.

I’ll just drop my autonomous canoe in the local creek and it can meet me at my destination.

I am now a shitty canoe owner

Forget level 5 autonomy, this is already a problem with current driver “assistance” features. I have some friends with a new-ish Prius. They have a bike rack attached to an aftermarket hitch. When the rack is attached, red lights flash and an annoying tone sounds every time the car is put in reverse. Worse yet, after…

i’m still mad that they put every cartoon possible on our localized version of disney+ but not this

Oh-ee-yeah (Tale Spin)
Oh-ee-yoh (Tale Spin)

The Martin Mars would like a word with you...
