Poorly designed self-driving vehicles being unleashed on public roads is actually much higher on the list of things I care about than F1 racing, because who wins an F1 race doesn’t really affect me personally.

This crash is a perfect example of why “monitoring” a system can be dangerous though. Next time you’re feeling bored, just let go of the wheel and tell your spouse or friend sitting in the passenger seat to take over. You can make it more realistic: tell them when you first get in the car that at some point, you will…
You need to normalize your data for miles driven in Teslas vs. not Teslas, your comparison is meaningless.
Your links don’t prove anything. You might want to show the number of deaths per miles driven, and how many teslas are there compared to every other vehicle on the road, and so on.
Humans are inherently lazy, and will get bored and/or complacent. If a driver has to constantly monitor the car and be ready to respond to an event, then there is no point in a self-driving car to begin with. In addition, relying on the car to do most of the work will result in drivers being unfamiliar with the…

You must be one of those Tesla fanboys that owns the stock but not the car. I own a Model 3 and if you did, you’d know how easy it is for this to happen. The car requires a significant amount of torque on the steering wheel to exit out of autosteer/FSD. After that it does back to steering normally. So you have to be…
Just because Tesla has no PR department doesn’t mean you have to volunteer.
1st Gear: I’ll never drive a car I have to pay a subscription fee to utilize. Full stop, won’t do it. If this catches on in the industry and that means I won’t drive a car manufactured after 2025, or I stick exclusively to budget niche cars going forward, fine. But I flatly refuse to pay an ongoing subscription on my…
The cop wasn’t even part of the chase, he just floored it to be a part of it too. Bored idiot seeking excitement, and he killed a man.
Why the fuck would you engage in a high speed pursuit on a vehicle with a lo jack?
The "just because it's a high performance sedan doesn't mean we should be able to stop it more than once" comments are fascinating.
Our Ioniq EV (170 mile range) has battery thermal management. most EV’s manufactured today have that, that cools the battery in the heat and warms it in the cold, in order to maintain optimal range, so the range relatively consistent.... you’ll lose about 15%~20% at freezing as opposed to 40%.
I swear on all that is Jalop, if Dodge doesn’t name their EV muscle the Thundercat, I’m gonna strip a drain bolt.
Am I the only one here who sees the obvious fact, that capitalism can’t be relied upon to fix the environmental problem that capitalism created?
although i will stand by my statement that 150 is a “good enough” range for starters for most folks out there, if the EV tax credit passes, that’ll incentivize manufacturers to put 40kwh batteries in the car, which for a small sedan or hatchback will probably get somewhere close 180 miles... which like what youre…
Yeah, the title did a evoke a bit of a ‘No Shit, Sherlock’ reaction.
my wifes ev has 170 mile range... and since we bought it in Feb this year, we’ve literally gone on ONE trip where we needed more range.. and if our destination had charging probably would have been fine (but unfortunately it didnt) so we took my car. we went with the $150/month cheap EV route. looking at gas prices…
The range is the issue on a car that is $33k and gets 100 miles of range. The new Fiat 500e does 200 miles at that price. It’s still new technology but the price of batteries have dropped by 75% in a decade. In another decade we will see cheaper, more efficient, and energy dense batteries. More efficient motors and…
