“experts from GM and (battery maker) LG have identified the simultaneous presence of two rare manufacturing defects in the same battery cell as the root cause of battery fires in certain Chevrolet Bolt EVs.” Seems like its a manufacturing defect which in my opinion would make LG liable. I’m sure a lawsuit is…

Perhaps, but it can be done. Maybe they just need better LIDAR sensors and algorithms.

I had a BMW i3 that had the automatic cruise control. BMW’s system in that was camera based. For a short time I was driving into the sun in the morning, and into the sun on the way home. It was basically useless during these conditions, everyday. This was on top of that fact that it would regularly mistake shadows…

LIDAR is for pedo guys.

The catch 22 is that you won’t really get edge cases in the lab. You tlreaaly need real world miles to even learn what you don’t know.

Tesla’s imitating Bender now.

This is the most accurate description of Teslas FSD yet 

1) self-driving is pretty good at most things, except edge cases, and 2) almost everything is edge cases.

Tesla: selling something called “full self driving.”

Tesla turns into a Dodge Ram under a full moon?

GM is responsible for the vehicle, the entire vehicle. They, in turn, are very likely to demand a consideration from LG for the losses associated with the recall. How much may depend on the contract for supplying the cells; if it’s not enough (and LG really wants scrutiny and public exposure) a lawsuit by GM to get…

I think most likely LG Chem takes most of the blame (due to cell defects), but the way GM designed their BMS may have contributed to the cell defects becoming fire. For the Hyundai recall, Hyundai is paying 30% of the cost. The investigation some fault in Hyundai’s BMS also.

Pretty sure this is an LGChem thing, not GM, and it’s beyond just the Bolt.

This is how the masters do it. Bullshit with gravitas.

Newt Gingrich was good at this. Talked like stupid people think smart people sound like.

You call bullshit on them being more reliable than present day?

Of course it’s a Fratzog. It was originally used on the turbo-encabulator. Since you couldn’t see it, they decided to put on the hoods of their cars as well so everyone knew they had a car with the turbo-encabulator.

Moving wasn’t the problem

I call bullshit.  No way a Dodge of that era was going 15mph reliably.

But then how, exactly, is one supposed to: “radiate more openness and clarity”.
