Evidently I’m the only person who things the car did what it should have.

Full disclosure: I am in the industry and run the teams that develop this kind of tech. I would also agree that is how I’d want it engineered. Moving sideways = loss of control + Impact (pothole) = airbag deployment.

I think its good that it went…

Sound’s like he hit the parameters needed and the system worked as designed. Maybe drive better next time.

That’s not the case at all. It simply reports if your email address has been found in any of the breaches, and tells you which breaches and whether you have passwords associated with those breaches online.

It’s not. But it’s polarizing and divisive so journalists bloggers are all over it.

I like when a racing driver decides to floor it and downshift to pass their competitor — as if it wasn’t floored and in the optimal gear whenever possible anyway. I get that it’s hard to dramatically show someone braking slightly later than their competitor, but still.

Did I say that those things are ok or that some or all of them shouldn’t also be priorities?

Turns out I didn’t say anything of the sort, so I’m not sure what your point was supposed to be here, other than to be a contrarian for no particular reason.

Hot take:

Think about it this way: Downshifting for engine braking saves some wear on your brakes. It also increases wear on your clutch, synchronizers, and throwout bearing.
Just decide which of those parts you’d rather replace sooner, and make your decision from there.

Rivian’s prototypes look waaaaaay more polished than Faraday Futures ever produced. Plus, they aren’t trying to build their own factory, instead snapping up the old Normal, Illinois DSM plant on the cheap.

Or something in the diminished mental capacity line — guilty but insane, or whatever Tennessee law provides.

So I realize that it’s no longer with us, but this is pretty much exactly what the Viper plant was, minus the white everywhere.  Hand built, a few a day, quiet, clean, etc.  It’s not like this is the first.

First I would like to acknowledge that people are going to probably violently disagree with me. 

Nah, Clarkson is in the wrong here.

Dude’s a BILLIONAIRE. Let him pay his help.

“helping a company you believe in” and “performing free work for a company because they need more sales staff but don’t want to hire them” are very different.

Ferrari can fucking pay me. Also, IDGAF about Ferraris. I’ll at least take a call from Daihatsu.

Forktrucks are not the machine for the job...

Your solution would be to stuff a bunch of people and animals on a ship with few places to puke and poop, with limited food? That sounds dumb as hell.
