Stahp!

Guess I was lucky walking by it, a week ago!

For those of you that don’t get it, this is a photo of the pace car driver, Mark Reuss, with Romain Grosjean’s head, team logo from F1, and it’s referencing this single-car incident in Baku

It’s almost as bad as, hmm, say, crashing the pace car into a wall during an IndyCar race.

It’s Mahk!

so what kind of speed is the pace lap at belle island?

WHAT?????

I just had two gin and tonics at lunch. They make me hate everyone here less. The rest of my workday will be a breeze.

Buy better gin.

Imagine a Jalop trying that Edd China high-mileage CVCC project from Wheeler Dealers. Get two hours in and decide on an LS swap.

Just saying, making it electric neither lightens nor simplifies the car. And adding lightness only goes so far before you simply cannot go faster. I agree with that sentiment but if your goal simply cannot be reached on your current platform, then go bigger, then lighten.

I hate to be the lone dissenter, but this does not add lightness or simplify, which is the spirit of Lotus.

That said, Ricciardo himself is of course an English speaker, and he pronounces his own name “Rick-ar-do”. That’s not to say one pronunciation or the other is correct, just that the way the BBC and Sky presenters pronounce it is acceptable.

Thank you! This article really puts lipstick on a pig. Broken car, 10 seconds per lap slower than quali, 5 seconds slower than the midfield, and still couldn’t get passed. He could have won on his feet with his elbows out 😀

Maybe it thought she was a shopping cart, and therefore expendable. She should have known computer protocol is to walk in front of your bike when crossing the street so you’re not mistaken for a hobo’s mobile home. Going forward, humans will need to ensure we “look like humans” to computers ... no fur hats (large…

Yeah, I couldn’t believe the people claiming that because a low-res, low-light crappy-ass dashcam video didn’t show her clearly until just before the collision that it wasn’t really the system’s fault.

“six seconds”

As an engineer, I’ll say this testing should be being done on a closed course. Only after it passes there with flying colors (0% incident rate) should it hit public streets. Even a close call there should send it back to the closed course as you obviously may have found a bug that needs to be worked out.

You can’t just use raw stats like that because of the ammount of regular cars on the road versus the ammount of autonomous cars.

But they would have to admit they were wrong.
