Former Jalop writer Jason Torchinsky had a great take on where we are with driver assistance. Which is that the current level of autonomy is far more dangerous than driving one’s self.

It’s not simply that he has done things like this before.

It’s easy to be gracious when you’re winning. The true measure of people is how they conduct themselves when they’re not.

The first paragraph summed things up perfectly. If Verstappen begins feeling any pressure and things aren’t going his way, he falls apart. His behavior was exactly like “early Verstappen” from several years ago... basically a whiny bitch who blames everybody else. 

“they are also the reasons things catch fire”

Lithium polymer battery. Not a solid state cell. Perhaps you’re confused about a mechanical disk drive versus a solid state drive?

Seriously, what fool doubted solid state batteries would be the next evolution of high power density storage after lithium batteries.

He looks like Trump and Desantis had a baby - completely psychotic.

If I were an alien sitting above the Earth in my spaceship, observing the American right shredding the Constitution and marching us towards a dictatorship, I would want to see their version of “The Night of the Long Knives”, where schmucks like Musk will get their comeuppance. Unfortunately, I live here and would be…

If I thought he meant car owners... then he’d still be a reprehensible scumbag that nobody in their right mind ought to vote for, but at least it’d be a policy for the ordinary American. However, he’s going to be subsidizing dealers and manufacturers, to inflate corporate profits while costs will be passed on to…

Charging stations, power generation, transmission are the areas most appropriate for government support.

“We are eliminating five products, all lower value. None of those are vehicles on which we made any money, so we are replacing them with new vehicles on newly designed architectures,” ....

Will they also fix their chargers so they actually work?

I LOVE this plan.

Diehard F1 fans that have trouble suspending reality for 2 hours are just going to spend money to pick apart every aspect of the movie that’s wrong, overblown, inaccurate or improbable. It’s not a documentary. I’ll go see it in the theatre just to be impressed by the visuals...knowing how much money they sunk into…

The Y and the 3 have the longest pro/con list of any vehicle I’ve ever done.  So many good things about them, but simultaneously so many bad things.  The catch is that most of the bad things seem fixable by getting rid of just one guy...

I would like to know why the person who picked the BMW lock button finds it “infuriating”. I currently own two of them and had a third in the past with this setup. I think I have touched that button once ever. And having the lock button accessible to the passenger seems advantageous rather than having it over on the…

“My car’s self driving program almost killed me at a train crossing. Better keep using it near train crossings.”

The owner has so many excuses, he sounds like the BMW tire psi guy.
