Perhaps a pod that travels along some sort of fixed rail and hauls multiple passengers?

You’re in a JohnnyCab.

As a cyclist, I’ve actually been excited about self-driving cars because how could they be as bad as human motorists? And now I see: just as bad, with their own cheerleading squad.

The scariest part is how quickly the driver turns to justifying what happened. That level of blind support for anything is a commentary on so much of what is happening around us... on either side of any issue.

Seriously! My mom had a convertible from the generation before this one, and it was probably the only vehicle I’ve ever driven that scared me. You could get it up to where its speedo said you were doing 85mph, but the whole thing would be shaking and wobbling...

The line between creativity and wild-ass crazy may be thin, but this little bugger straddles it — when it isn’t tap-dancing on it.

It’s like an Kirkland brand icon a5

I heard an interview with him that he made a living flipping houses before hitting it big in Hollywood. As a hobby, he buys big firetrucks from government surplus auctions and repurposes them.

Counterpoint - my 6 lug Mazda truck from 1988 vs. my 2012 Odyssey, with 5 lugs.

Never Underestimate the Lug-Nut Rule.

These are much better than a Citation.

And take away the joys of posting this meme? What kind of monster are you?

Torch hasn’t ever suggested that he hates Tesla, but he is very interested in self-driving technology (he even wrote a whole book on it), and has made a very consistent stand that he feels level 2 autonomy is a very dangerous middle ground where people put too much faith in systems that aren’t as capable as they think…

Let me help.

I did not read this article nor have I read any recent articles from Jalopnik about Tesla. [...] But my question is real. Why does Jalplnik hate Tesla so much?

Obligatory

If you actually read all the ‘negative’ articles about Tesla on Jalopnik, you’ll note that almost all of them are caveated with positive statements about the vehicles engineering, capabilities and the impact of Tesla on the broader automotive market. But they don’t spend 12 paragraphs repeating that because there’s…
