But Google doesn't have a legal liability since they aren't in charge of road safety. Maps is a convenience service, not an official entity of road safety.

No signage? No barriers? I’m genuinely confused. If the bridge is out, why is the road open? Roads don’t just end at washed out bridges, unless you’re off in the boonies. If this is a regularly-enough-travelled road for someone to be using as a route home, and the bridge has been out for nine years, there are going to…

Shouldn’t be up to google who is providing a free service to be responsible for keeping you safe driving. The property owner of the bridge, whoever that may be, should be the one who is held liable as there were no signs or barricades. I had read that there was confusion on who actually owned it. Regardless, this is…

And for 9 years there was no barricade or bridge out warning signs?

The most surprising part of this is that he drove a Tesla and not a lifted Ram or a blacked-out Charger.

Least surprising relevation on Musk. He seems to have little regard for any rules and regulations. 

Unless you’re also equally disruptive on flights, there is a difference. That being said, when you become a parent, there are concessions which will have to be made in most cases. Is there a critical loss if you have to take more local vacations (as in ones you drive to) for the first few years?

At least if the volume of oil pumped out of the ground drops a lot, then so will the net revenue of OPEC.  Prices may not get better for end users, but yearly profits will.

“Uber Pool was so cheap it increased overall city travel: For every mile of personal driving it removed, it added 2.6 miles of people who otherwise would have taken another mode of transportation.”

It isn’t always practical to use public transit. I also don’t agree with the thing where we should halt progress just to save jobs. While autonomous cars aren’t perfect yet, soon enough they’ll be better than the human drivers they’re replacing and/or augmenting. It could even be that there’s a fleet of autonomous…

There’s a lot of outdated misinformation about EV longevity out there. Current model battery packs are proving to have life expectancies of >350k miles. There are Teslas on the road with over 300k miles on their original battery pack.

Every time I read articles like this, I realize how many people don’t understand basic math.

Rural does not matter right now. Populated areas will get a massive uptick in BEV adoption. I was in rural Idaho and there were literally no public chargers in that town, you had to go to the neighboring town. Chargers are installed where the user base is which is basically on the coasts. Charger infrastructure will…

Battery vehicles actually have less parts iirc

And what’s wrong with a hot rod?

I’m not sure I would say the people unhappy with the screaming child are the entitled ones. The parent taking a kid on a non-essential trip before they are ready surely has to be the more entitled one. They aren’t all headed to that final visit of a loved one before they pass.

My “Made in America!” uncle was mocking me for my Toyota. I gladly showed him the tab inside my door showing it was made in Indiana and laughed at his facial expression.

Yup, what everyone seems to conveniently gloss over when discussions of loud cars begin. At least your house will block some of the sound and only lasts a few seconds. Noise is noise no matter the source, we all better start wearing ear protection at all times then.

I realize it’s a negotiation so the initial ask can look like a serious overreach, but the UAW demands are:

> Insurance companies don’t seem to want to be in the business of, you know, actually offering insurance,
