I think they will challenge it, in a good way. Twenty years from now it will be much more difficult to obtain a driver's license. Fewer people will have their hands on a steering wheel, but a much higher fraction of them will actually know how to drive. And that benefits everyone.

It would be more apropos for Toyota's also recent "Go Fuck Fun Yourself!" ad campaign.

Ha! I love Travel Air Mystery Ship livery!

Why would it be any different? The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the actions of the vehicle. Plus, the driverless car will have a black box to show what actually happened, just like a dash cam. And if Google's experience is any sign, it's the morons behind the wheel that will cause accidents, not the robots.

Pro-tip when selling a car without an engine: Only let people see the back end of it.

And that's exactly why there are fewer electronics stores around these days, despite people buying much more electronics. That's because people prefer to buy online and avoid the sleazeballs at Best Buy who will try to sell them a $100 "extended warrantee" on a $50 cable that would cost $20 on Amazon. Both Best Buy…

A twin Rolls-Royce would also work:

Petulant infants aren't the issue for Indy; it's petulant racefans who aren't putting asses in seats. If Indy is so much better racing, then why does no one show up to any of the races?

Have you watched a race this year? There has been at least one slugfest per race (e.g. Vettel and Alonso in Britain) and Canada was NASCAR-close at the end. Which considering the cars are more diverse than any other major racing series (except LMP-1), that is quite the feat!

Steel is easy. It welds, it rivets, it does all sorts of things that allows it to be used in car construction. It's also heavy. Aluminum isn't so easy, which is why Ford had to develop new processes to build something as tough as the 2015 Ford F-150 is supposed to be.http://www.freep.com/article/201407...

I don't know how anyone can hate on Le Mons; it's clearly the funnest form of motorsport.

For the life of me, I can't understand why this has not already happened. Electric cars have massive torque, but little range. A funny car has massive torque, but little range. This seems like a no-brainer.

This. If a sufficient number of things fail such that you lose instruments, then you're dead already. That's been true for decades now.

Yes, there is a need for big change, and it's fuel. CO2 emissions aside, oil is a finite resource and will continue to become more expensive as time goes on. Fuel prices are the largest single cost for airlines, and their largest singe cost risk (because fuel prices are so volatile). This situation is not going to…

And people who ride bikes like jerks rarely hurt anyone but themselves. People who drive like jerks can (and will) kill other people. There's no comparison.

This is really the best season for a long time. Canada was NASCAR close for the top five until the last lap.

This. Other aircraft are more impressive, but the first non-stop around the world trip is by far the most impressive single flight.

I'm pretty sure noone in the history of ever has said, "NO. SCREW THIS. I'M BUYING A LANCIA."

It's a Golden Retriever. Any random bush is the The Most Interesting Thing In The World, especially if it has flowers.
