As somebody from the outside looking in, I don’t understand that view at all. I mean sure, the Dems have a bunch of overaged dickheads at the forefront that don’t ever learn from their mistakes. But at least they introduce sensible bills like this one and are trying to improve things. Meanwhile the other party is…

There really is no logical reason to own one of these. The popular consensus among high end collectors and enthusiasts who have experienced an SLR is that they aren’t very good at anything except covering long distances at very high speed, for which they are fantastic. But so is a new S63 AMG which has interior space,…

If a supercar does not cost a fortune to maintain, it is not really a supercar then is it?

Now, a group of House Democrats have introduced a $547 plan to revamp surface transportation infrastructure...

As I said in the other story, I wonder if the politicization of masks had a trickle down effect where people who were inclined to fight masks based on some kind of government overreach were making [un]conscious associations with seatbelts being a similar type of overreach.  Some people would happily let something bad…

Easy. People are fucking stupid. Half the country though Covid was a hoax and you think they’re smart enough to put on a seatbelt?

I’m ready for the Small Truck Guy excuses now:

on the plus side at least the car knew to ignore them because they were not illuminated and were on a road with no intersections.

Remember the “Tot Finder” stickers people used to put on children’s bedroom windows, so the fire department could find kids?

I wrote the most amazing, beautiful, insightful rebuttal to your non-comment, but it was simply too good for this world, so I’ve purged it from existence.

My opinion is that the future had better be “sensor fusion of everything but the kitchen sink” if you want this autonomy stuff to have a good shot at being safe in all conditions—and V2V communication in a substantial part of the fleet will be a big help, as will some sort of Waze-for-robots birdseye video of what the…

2nd Gear: I’m a bit disappointed there’s not some joke in there about Jaguar/Land Rover not suffering from a chip shortage because there will never be a shortage of Lucas parts or they long ago cornered the market on vacuum tubes or something... I didn’t say it was a good joke.

This chart came directly from Acura, so of course it is biased, but the “similar spec” line is what they’re banking on people noticing. Adaptive dampers are pretty pricey on some of those cars. 

There’s good money in them thar click farms, I tell ya. Hence why we get at least one slideshow a day on Jalopnik.

I ruefully laughed as I gave you your goddam star.

Gah! Not this malarkey!

Of course Ford denied the truck had dual controls. That right there is your proof it did. /s

I really wonder how this event went down in the eyes of partisan lenses.
