I’ve got the adaptive cruise on my car, so it keeps the distance, but not the lanes. When I first started using it, I was hyper aware of everything it did, and pretty nervous at first. Now I’ve settled down to about the same level of alertness I have when I’m just driving, but I can set my feet down to relax and be…

...the person in front is going to (sic) slow...

Yeah, for the majority of my daily commute I keep it under vtec to save a bit on gas and brakes. I think that’s why I keep forgetting that it happens. Gotta drive around for a couple minutes before it sorts all that out.

Little known “feature” of the AP1 S2000. Before it warms up (every bit of it), it’ll perform a fuel cutoff at 6000RPM instead of VTEC kickin’ in, yo.

If I were driving that, I might be hoping they’re counterfeit belts...then I’d aim for the nearest tree. Take one for the team.

I had a Camry with what was rumored to be a “motorcycle engine”. I doubt they’d do a swap like that, but it sounded and smelled suspiciously 2 strokeish. Topped out at 80mph, and took nearly a minute to hit 60. It felt unsafe to be in something so underpowered. My dad taught me to drive stick on an Accord (‘86 if…

Frankly, I’m surprised it wasn’t a photo of me. I like counting the number of times people point and/or take a picture.

It’s a dumb question I could probably answer quickly by using the googles, but...how do you get into those seats? It looks like they’re pressed up against both walls with no way through or around any of them.

Blockbuster agrees with you.

Still...I’d sit through a 2 hour daily commute just to have one of these for the times I’m not in line.

Now that it’s available, I’d say any car that doesn’t have an Autopilot. Even those with autopilot are only marginally better since sitting in traffic sucks with very little exception.

I want the Aquada so bad it hurts...

I will. Awkwardly trying to make conversation or awkwardly not making conversation with the driver is my biggest deterrent from using said services. Once I can call up a ride without that, I will do so often.

Ludicrous mode is always on... 0-60 in 2.7...uh...minutes? downhill...with a massive tailwind?

True, but at least the semi-autonomous cars are predictably stupid.

Stupid people have already reached a threshold for me where I would accept a misbehaving semi-autonomous car in lieu of other drivers. Bring on the future!

As an automotively inclined photog who takes his audio as seriously as he takes the quality of his viewing devices, I can assure you my bank account weeps with nearly every gadget related article on this site.

Can’t even swing a diesel around here without hitting a...oh...

Go home Hammond, you’re drunk, I see how bad you’re steering, it’s not safe.

I think the sentiment was more along the lines of “stone? Seriously, we already have to put up with pounds, gallons, ounces, inches, feet, and yards, now you want to make some other weird measurement? No...that’s just dumb.”
