I actually need 16 and a half, but nobody seems to be able to accomodate me.

Never said it had to be electric. Autonomous air travel ought to be a lot easier than autonoumous driving, and I doubt a kerosin powered drone to carry 1 or 2 passengers would be too hard, or hell if not just make it a helicopter. Autonomous helicopter with wich you can travel without a pilot licence. Shouldnt be too…

Couldnt they have an adjustable ratio depending on speed? At low speeds where precision isnt that importat have the full range of tyre motion be translated to 300-400° of yoke motion like in a F1 car. And at high speed it should be like it is now, 800-900°.

Cause I mean it looks cool but if I have to lift my hands to…

The first step towards flying cars is to forget the term flying cars. There is no good reason to have a vehicle that is capable of both land and air travel. The sooner we accept a term like passenger drone and realign our goals, the sooner it can become a reality.

Oh no, its special alright. This is an iconic staple in the “Only in America” brand.

Its actually a really smart idea. Produce only one type car which is fully loaded in terms of HW option and only differences are cosmetic, and sell it all for base price. Offer all features as subscriptions, which would amount to 4-7 years of using it before it would have cost as much as the premium if paid upfront.…

Definetly less. I imagine they’d give you a discount even for using it just because youre helping them improve it with your testing.

Its funny now that I see your username, because I suppose the Golf is the “Camry” of europe. At the very least the german speaking part. So I guess I kind of get where the stigma for the Camry is coming from, but not entirely. Because like the Golf GTI is a respectably fast car, I’m more impressed by the Camry’s…

Because the m3 is also just a family sedan with a bigger engine. Slapping a big engine into a car, doesnt make it a sports car, and its alright for a sports car to be slower than a family sedan in a straight line, but not in a turn.

So? A Camry is the same type of car as an 3-series and the M3 is faster than a lot of sports cars. Or take a Dodge demon. Beats pretty much every sports car on a drag strip. 

I dont see the appeal, bare of it being a childhood/teenage dream car. If you care about status (and I assume as an Aston Martin customer you do), the car is too old but not old enough for that. And if you care about performance, well that new 911 mentioned in the article is better. I just dont see that mass appeal…

The students and the professor. If anything we would have been biased towards BEVs because guess what, the lecture was called “Electric mobility”. But seeing as you’ve ignored every of my points up till now it seems like you are not interested in a discussion but in an argument. Have a good day.

Biased towards what? Even if it were biased, the E60's CO2 Emissions are ABYSSMAL even without its production costs factored in, and the graph definetly shows it. We had no bias in doing theese graphs, because we have no agenda here. But hey if you wanna see conspiracy theories everywhere, have fun.

The premise was that someone already owns that E60 and wants to find out what CO2 effect would buying a new car or keeping the old car have.
But you can easily extrapolate your wanted information yourself. Just imagine the line for the i3 and model 3 starting at 0. Nothing else would change for your scenario, as the…

Its not biased bullshit. I did say it was an already existing used car, meaning the scenario was: Keep your old car or buy a new car, and if, a gas/diesel car or an electric/hydrogen powered car.  Its logical to not include the production for it as it is already in the past, it has already happened. If you buy a new…

What really needs to happen is that energy production needs to get greener. Here some graphs from my bachelor studies comparing some electric cars with some new gas/diesel cars and one already existing used car (BMW E60 which’s  CO2 production costs is rated with 0), and comparing the us energy mix to the austrian one:

I say the comparison to flying cars isnt really valid. The problem with flying cars is that there is not a problem for them to solve, and not a need for them other that people think they’re cool. I really doubt technical feasability is whats keeping flying cars barred from us.

I agree with the rest of your point, but…

I dont think this is going to matter because I just dont think motor vehicles will ever be good enough. There is still no substitute for a horse, even an old one.

Yes because as we all know intelligence is measured by the lack of spelling errors.

This is exactly how crowdfunding has been working for a longer time now. Proove interest in order to get investors on board who provide the real money, or invest your own capital. Its risk assessment.
