Most of these cars need cooling over the batteries, which are mounted in a flat layer of the underbody, so the “intakes” are in or behind the bumper.

It’s a shame Kubica and Williams had to fuck it up with a poorly timed release that cut Verstappen off.

Notice how on the lower car, without the panorama roof, you can clearly see that there are two large black areas along the roofline that follow the arc of the roof all the way to the rear window? That’s a visual cheat to let the Mach-E get more rear headroom while maintaining the dramatically-raked fastback roofline…

Let’s see which reaches your head first, the Lanny McDonald crosscheck or the Rollie Fingers fastball.

The system is color-coded by function. Green is for navigation, red for music, blue for phone.

“How dare you claim the easily marketable credit instead of adhering to our strictly defined, obtuse, and poorly communicated rules” is pretty much how the IRS operates. Especially since the tax-filing industry has been lobbying Congress to keep the rules strict, obtuse, and poorly communicated because it’s better for…

Volvo’s in-house Sensus system has a lot of great ideas, poorly coded. Some auto makers have a weird aversion to good software engineering. Looks like the Google team-up was mutually beneficial: Google got the low-distraction UI/UX ideas they needed from Volvo, and Volvo got working code from Google.
