I haven’t been in any vehicle with any kind of driver assist akin to what’s talked about here or in Teslas, etc. but I have to think that, done correctly, with your unfettered focus on what the car’s systems are doing, at the ready to take over at any moment, would be more tiring/numbing than actually doing the…
fair point, but nobody ever ran into a car parked on a highway shoulder because of patent misinformation. At least, I don’t think they have?

Congratulations, now you know how I feel every time someone on Jalopnik tries to write an article about patents.
Yeah. The rolling stop thing, that was a big deal. This is nothing, there’s more significant recalls every week.
Oh this must be bad. Oh wait it is a chime for not having your seatbelt on that in small scenarios does not come on. And it is an over the air sw update... way to make things sound like the sky is falling
If you take a look the brakes are the old XT V brakes with 2 pivots and a linkage, sometimes called parallel push, sometimes called dual pivot because there are 2 pivots on each arm. As long as you aren’t riding in the wet (and really, who even does that?) they’re fantastic brakes.
FYI, I thought the same when I first saw it, but if you look closely there is a second bar on between the pivot point and the brake pads. So yes, they are dual pivot (or technically tri-pivot since there’s a second additional pivot on the other side). You can see it clearly here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/32445842741…
I second this. Magura hydraulics all the way. I had these on my old K2 Flying Monkey and ProFlex 5000 and they were amazing; and way more tolerant that the early discs.
Why do we need them? What benefit does it have putting these systems into our games? Who is using these things? It feels like a very small audience. And also, these technologies are still not using sustainable energy and are a target for money laundering. As a developer I feel deeply uncomfortable that there is a…
Now playing
because crypto is a scam.
The companies know it’s a scheme, and more importantly an entirely unregulated one, which is exactly why they want in.
I’d like that big-ass screen to show what my phone shows: Google Maps, mainly, and audio choices available on my phone. I don’t need the car to be hooked up to the internet, I have a phone! Could easily be a dumb screen. Saves a shit-ton of money to manufacture. Anything on the screen that is actually car-based, like…
French automakers need to calm down, these warnings are hardly “anti-car”:
lol that’s how you shut shit down in the south. “If you excessively fine that money will go to schools” OH we can’t have that happen!
Having grown up in a 3rd world country, that’s insulting to 3rd world countries (I’m mostly kidding)! What I’ve mostly experienced are cops trying to make a few extra bucks by being overzealous with their policing and then hoping for a small bribe to make it go away. That’s peanuts compared this - a full on profit…
This pretty much says it all. Remember, this is a town with fewer than 1,500 residents.
