I guess what has astounded me most by the rush to develop autonomous technology has been a fairly significant rush to ignore the challenges these drive-by-x systems will have with roads that are substandard in some way.

 Everything looks fine to me.

Alternative Theory:

Yeah thats kind of my question more. I can just see a cop now getting after a very obviously drunken person getting into their car and driving away, even if it is level five.

Your writing ability is excellent, but your knowledge of business and law are lacking.

The most frustrating part of being car enthusiast is not being surrounded by other enthusiasts with the same lifestyle. A die hard sports fan? They get awesome bars with a 100 screens so they can all get together and watch their favorite thing on tv. They have teams in every major city and get to watch them every week…

Being enthusiastic about a certain brand, type of vehicle, or preferred modifications, only for someone with a different opinion to quip “you can’t be an enthusiast and enjoy that!” You like big pickup trucks with lights and tube bumpers? do your thing. Older BMW M’s that you meticulously maintain and track? more…

So why do the fighters, as several people have remarked, fly so close to the airliner? Are they making visual contact with the cockpit?  

Glad everything turned out ok, but let’s not pretend those German Typhoons were there to ensure the safety of the flight and its passengers.

This was noticed by a friend of mine. It’s a brand new private track outside Franklin TN. Can’t find any info on it. Kind of a ghost track but not really

It seems unlikely you’d see much savings. The Queen Elizabeth class lacks catapults and nuclear reactors, making it significantly less capable, but still cost around $4B apiece. Charles de Gaulle, which has those features, but is less than half the size of a US supercarrier cost $5-6B in 2017 dollars (and has its own…

Veyron Super Sport and Porsche 918 are currently the quickest production cars in the world and both hit 60mph in 2.5 seconds for comparison. source

He tried to paraphrase what Politico wrote and failed. Here’s the original:

I’m not worried about the number of nukes (100 can kill us all off). START was predicated on the understanding that sane, sensible people will equally reduce their arsenals, and that sane, sensible people would safeguard them. START was important, not because of the reduction, but because of the intent behind it. It…

Great article. Thank you. I appreciate you reviewing the history of the treaty and its importance then and now.

I am a 46 year old Canadian. I have a wife and two kids. I was 13 when 99 Luftballons was a hit. When I was 15, I was terrified that the Persian Gulf Crisis would spill over and create a nuclear conflict. My parents talk about the Cuban Missile Crisis and have more than once, said that they seriously debated bringing…

Part of me says “Get another job then”, part of me says “why are you sacrificing family moments for your job?”, and part of me says “learn to lift with better form, you’re working in manual labor, of course its hard on your body”. A very small part of me says “aww poor person”.

It seems like Jalopnik has become an echo chamber for political views that ignore both sides of an argument and agree with whatever MSNBC said this morning. I liked it more when it was about cars. I’ll take my clicks elsewhere so someone else can make their fractions of a penny on my viewership.

What Muslim ban? Muslims from Italy, Germany, etc. can still enter the country.
