The car will always avoid a collision if it's possible. That's not what's being debated here.

The driver is responsible for all passengers in the vehicle. The driver being a robot does not change this. Ergo, unless the car is operating while unoccupied, its #1 priority must be the safety of its passenger(s). If the car is ferrying itself to a location without any living passengers, then it should default to…

Either that girl is 5'2" or Challengers really are freaking HUGE.

If you want to do almost anything serious on your truck, you have to start be removing the entire cab from the frame. Yep. That's step one.

You know, I'm usually the first one to freak out if there's a bee buzzing near me, or a centipede, or a really big spider. I must have done something correctly when learning to drive, though, because no matter what kind of creepy crawly shows up when I'm driving, I take note of it, calmly and carefully exit traffic,…

Would you be able to change its orbital plane with less fuel, if you actually DID take it to the moon, and slingshot it back?

Fun and safety are quite often at odds with each other.

Four inches wider, how much longer? This is going to make it harder to fit on tight trails...

Yeah. The interesting thing is that humans evolved to be endurance runners on bare feet; introduce shoes to the mix and you get today's issues with knee and back pain in the first world. Shoes that cushion the ground strike encourage people to strike heel first, instead of toe first. Makes a big difference in the long…

Bingo. Harbor Freight's quarterly/monthly coupon catalog puts this list to SHAME.

Who the hell charges $984 for a tow? That's enough to transport a car halfway across the country. That's enough to BUY a beater pickup truck, tow bar and a winch, and pull the car upright/tow it back yourself. Holy hell that is outright extortion.

They must not have been too bright if they STAKED OUT the house and the homeowner was still there. Kind of defeats the purpose of a stake out for burglars.

I wish there was more of this kind of respect for rivals in the industry. Kudos to you, GM.

Isn't McLaren a British company?

Information ownership has been revered and maintained since humans started talking. It's called keeping secrets.

realistically, they should have just used a milsurp tank.

It's not a real, open bolt, automatic Mini Uzi. It's a semiautomatic replica that originally came with a fake silencer, which fits over the long protruding barrel (real UZIs do not have long, protruding barrels like that, and instead have a shorter, threaded barrel to which a real silencer can be threaded).

"That's the name we've associated with it, so that's how it is. "
You are absolutely wrong. "Machine gun" has very specific mechanical (and legal) implications, and the gun in the story is NOT a machine gun, in the same way that a V6 is not a V12. No matter how often or how many people call it a V12, it's still not a…

It's still for sale because the seller is not lowering his price to what the market will bear. Capitalism in action.

MiG-29 all day. Though I'd still rather have one of the Su-27s they sold off a few years back.
