Should’ve tried easy mode first.

And a breathalyzer, so you can know for sure you’re not allowed to drive off after drinking away your sorrow.

Sure, here you go.

Counterpoint: it’s not worse than what you can do to a Rolls.

You wanna have some ice cream?

Should work for naming rights as well.

From EasyMile’s ‘About us’:

They’ve got a couple of those in Sophia-Antipolis (French technology park) as well, running in a separate lane. Terribly slow, and felt more like a gimmick than a real solution to a transportation problem.

Ah, good to know. I’m currently using an ancient eTrex Vista, but I’ve switched from MTB to road, so I’m looking for something more compact. However, if you’re only able to set up the Elemnt from Android or iOS in the foreseeable future, I’ll discard it from my list, as I’m not getting a new phone as well.

Do you have a picture of the map display on the Elemnt by any chance? I’m wondering how easy/difficult it is to read at a glance vs Garmin’s color screen.

I’m looking forward to their buspods.

To be fair, level 3 could be achievable by 2019 (let’s call it 2020), as it’s about fully ceding control to the car ‘in certain conditions’. Seeing how Autopilot is used today (i.e. not as intended), L3 on an almost deserted highway in perfect weather conditions is doable.

What will arrive first, Model 3 or full Autopilot? And when? Closest 5 year margin wins!

It came into the market without direct competitors, and I doubt it’ll get some before its production stops. BMW took a different approach to hybrid supercars (more e-motor than ICE, balance rather than power), while the other manufacturers will probably make the plunge from e-assist to full-on electric.

Ah, the 944, for when you want your extra points of failure to not come from the roof mechanism.

A cheese Miata is about 270 clove.

490 kg, back-to-basics street car.

Yes, but you’re not really assisting then, as you need to put more energy in it than you’ll ever get out (thermodynamics is a cold-hearted bitch). You could use it as a push-to-pass system, but overall, a cyclist without the motor will be better off, as he won’t have to charge the battery, nor will he have to take on…

Extremely low-profile tires, probably? Runflats usually have an extra reinforced sidewall, which is why it would be very unlucky.
