I don't see how the front brake delete is not #1. Unbelievable. Fuck, might as well remove the rear one too and just engine brake.

It’s a most logical end game for both companies. One way or another, this will happen. How long it takes, and whether it’s these two companies at the forefront remains to be seen. But I’d bet my house that within a decade autonomous car services will start to “take over” in the larger metro areas of the U.S., Europe,…

Adaptive cruise is great...keeping me in my lane is even better. But doing lane changes is completely different ball of wax. And I can see that it could be a major sticking point. At this point, I’d just be happy if I could stay in my lane/between the lines and have my speed modulated. My car has adaptive cruise and…
One of the few SUV’s that I've ever been excited about. Ever.
A whole lotta this.
This.
Buzzkill!! I was resigned to a life of fret and worry about how the jet set would be getting to Ibiza in a hurry....
If built, this could be the next big thing for the “triple comma club”........blast out of Silicon Valley and be in Dubai before the molly’s kicked in!
Is it just me, or does this “old” MIG look just about perfect? It’s nearly spotless. It’s so well cared for, it looks practically brand new. Big props to “Plane Captain” Erin Kelley for an amazing attention to detail and effort on this beautiful machine.
If it’s found that Schneider’s braking point was the same as his previous laps, on top of Wickens admitting he braked “conservatively” so he could make the corner, then maybe Audi’s got a case to contest this. But obviously, if there’s some way to prove that Dr. Wolfgang’s outrageous blurt went through, well, he and…
I’ve one upped myself from Gizmodo courtesy jbatubara. Thanks bud!
This. And don't lean on my fenders, or anything else a-holes.
This.
I still don’t know how easy it’d be for someone to manually bail out at Mach 3+ at over 300 thousand feet....it might be a bit hard to get that hatch/door open, much less yourself....
Agreed, and all good points. I think the difference here, is that they were not in ejection seats. I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure SpaceShip Two didn’t have your standard rocket assisted ejection seats. I’m not sure how Scaled Composites expected the crew to bail out in an emergency, but they obviously did have…
I’m guessing since his visor got ripped off, he had no oxygen supply other than the air at 50k feet which is so thin you’ll quickly die. So rapidly falling to lower altitudes allowed him to breathe air with a higher oxygen content, thus saving his life. If his parachute would’ve deployed immediately, he probably…
I dig it. I’m stoked for the electric future of transportation...look at what Tesla’s already done. Their first “legit” car now has 800 ish AWD HP! Not that the roadster wasn’t legit, but y’all know what I’m saying. Anyway, I’m not ready give up on ICE bikes, cars & really engines just yet. I love being in tune with a…
I could imagine that Eric Buell engineered bikes made in India could be quite the performance bargain. And yeah, I’d consider riding the wunderscooter...looks like some cheap, utitilitarian fun to me. I like the sound of “diesel moped”.
