Computers are idiots.

We already have a solution that would require new infrastructure, doesn’t need many drivers, and as a bonus, it’s much more fuel efficient.

“Then you have to code for a plane landing on the highway in funeral traffic as it begins to rain ... and the plane gets hit by a train.” This is fantastic, are you a comedy writer? Anyway you are absolutely correct. 

First you have to code for traffic.

No, just stop it. The idea that roads in the U.S. can be standardized to make this work when they are built and maintained by a minimum of 100,000 various political bodies across massively diverse geographic and environmental conditions simply isn’t viable. Especially when one half of those political entities actually…

Comments about needing better infrastructure (lines, edges, etc.) are simultaneously correct - and yet laughable. They fail to understand the massive number of lane miles out there, most of it in rural (and very rural) locations. What is the magnitude of cost in putting down stark and clear lane markers in these…

It all starts with infrastructure , that means clear divider lines and maybe a better color change to deal with the angle of the sun (those line can disappear). Then the vehicles themselves, along with sensors and lasers, they need to actually be able to see far ahead and make decisions based on that, which in the era…

It’s not the lights in cabins, it’s the screens that throw off too much light.  They are ridiculous in modern cars.

Yes please, give me tactile buttons that I don’t have to look at to figure out which one I’m touching.  Seriously, touch screens are unsafe for the driver to use.

This is a mistake that could have easily been avoided. All it would have taken was a design manager or director that read auto reviews that complained about this in the Honda Civic.  Tactile feedback is important when you don’t want to take your eyes off the road.  

While they’re at it, they need to re-do the center stacks on all of the products with the new UI. That the temperature controls aren’t illuminated at night is such a laughably inexcusable design defect, I shudder to think where else they cut corners.

Seconded.

Actually is called " driving " and if find it that difficult you absolutely should not be driving 

I may have to block this site on my firewall if this is not on the list.

There have been so many great 6-cylinder engines over the years. I submit that from a modern perspective, 992 GT3 motor is a lovely send-off to the naturally aspirated flat six.

I’m surprised by the lack of Porsche in the comments. You’d think a 520 hp, 9000 RPM, 4.0L flat six would be a shoo-in.

Dinosaurs! You forgot the dinosaurs!

Can I say that the new interior (speaking to the s550 double hump panels, dash, vents) feels like a downgrade in the looks department?  Granted, that center console (which I have to look at every day on mine).. I feel like they improved.
