Surprised you didn’t mention the Trance system and how baffling it is to have a limit break that you can’t control and that you end up wasting like 75% of the time. It’s like my only major complaint after playing through most of the game.

Passenger Jack Leonard told ABC 11, “We heard and felt everything... It was extremely terrifying to be honest. Once it went, you had no doubt that it was major trouble and then seconds later smoke started filling the cabin in the back. You could smell it. It smelled like burning metal and the cabin started to…

If actual vehicle purchases count, over 96% of the car buying public does not want to buy a hybrid or BEV.

People will be going back to pirating more heavily.

Counterpoint: In a city there are thousands of human voices, and it’s easy to overlook one shout as being directed at someone else. A bike bell is a clear warning signal that anyone who can hear it should look out for a bike that might be coming their way.

That did seem a bit hypocritical. Cars are noisy by nature, and are still required to have horns as a notification system. Bikes are silent, have a slim profile, and are agile. They absolutely should have an audible communication system like other vehicles.  Especially if you care if people notice you.

Me, every time these articles/videos show up: “This is getting old.”

If anything, it looks like he sees the truck coming, looks at the bridge, does the quick calculation in his head and lets fate do its thing.

God bless that pedestrian.

I kind of don’t want them to. People have to learn. There are a bunch of signs in the area that warn of the bridges height, it’s the drivers’ stupidity that causes the damage.

I love the lack of any reaction from the pedestrian standing on the corner. Not that I’m surprised seeing as this is such a common thing.

If you break the dynamics down into piecewise chunks, the car has a rear weight bias as well. If you model that concentrated mass of transaxle and engine weight it wants to keep moving forward so as the yaw angle increases when you lose grip in the rear the forces sum to shove the front of the car to the left, with…

Forces. Think in little physics arrows. There’s sideways momentum from the turn. Think of the path your mobile phone took out the window from its’ tray on the dash. The grip from the tyres is stopping the whole car from taking the same path. Spinning wheels = grip broken = end of car can suddenly escape in the…

When the rear tires are accelerating and the front tires are not, the only possible outcome is the rear end passing the front end.  The question you should be asking is why doesn't this happen more often?

“We think surge pricing screws riders and drivers, help us prove it”

YMMV. I think drivers are mainly upset because they no longer see those huge fares, but they don’t bother to look at their other fares to see how they compare.

Look, you’re making me defend Uber, which I don’t really want to do. However, I do feel that Uber was very transparent about the upfront surge pricing, and I also personally feel that it has worked as designed. My overall pay has not really changed (except when they lowered mileage rates, but that’s another subject),…

And drivers will submit only fares where they feel they got “screwed.” They won’t submit all the other fares where Uber paid out a surge even though the passenger wasn’t paying a surge.

Nailed it. “Help me prove my opinion is right!” is a great way to start a data study. 

No no no...They will get receipts from drivers who are making good money, but when they go to write the article, they will not show them. It’s called a bias. It is all the rage in the media these days.

I feel like you’re only getting receipts from drivers who feel like they got screwed with this change. I’m betting you didn’t get any receipts from drivers where Uber lost money on a fare because they paid a sticky surge to the driver even though the passenger did not pay a fare.
