They couldn’t make a DCT system work right, so I would not expect a great appreciation for even more sophisticated technology.

“ ...it basically comes down to the belief that reaching Level 4 autonomy will cost too much to be worth continued investment.”

Convertibles. I saw the death of the convertible in the late 70s. What killed them was a focus on safety. Making a convertible as safe as a hardtop is a problem. A secondary issue was that it seemed like car thefts and break ins became more common in the late 70s as well.

Not strange at all - flying slower saves a LOT of fuel. And fuel is very expensive today. Modern airliners are designed for efficiency above all, and part of that is slightly lower cruising speeds. Actual flying times haven’t changed THAT much, helped by many airplanes being able to take more direct routes. Times are…

No one had ruler that large.

So I assume its called “Money Shifting” because doing it causes money to shift from your bank account to your mechanic?

Interesting, I killed my Mazda6 back in March. It had been a great car, very reliable, just came to the end of being worth repairing.

Even was fun to RallyCross.

Sounds like it’s still “in development”. There’s a huge caveat that the batteries need enough capacity to store all the energy from the decent.

Another Protip:  When you see a Tesla going downhill, ram them in the ass and keep your brodozer on their bumper to help them regen more energy through braking.

Protip: when your Tesla is at the top of a hill fill the trunks with the heaviest rocks you can find and unload them at the bottom for a free charge.

It would be difficult to overstate how much I do not want this, but for someone who wants to build a kit car of a pre-war Jag, this is a cheaper way to get this far than buying all of the bits.

They should have had co-pilots in both planes hiding in the back, just in case.  It would have satisfied the FAA, they could have done another take, and nobody would know the difference.

As a 4x Suburban owner, I usually get one of two things:

Every crew-cab long-bed pickup truck.

Left rear looks 1.5 psi off. Dealership used an Analog gauge.

> So the Government can burn that money under the auspice of “Common Good”, and yet that money also helped pay for Pfizer to run commercials during the NCAA tourney and sponsor the freakin’ Oscars?

Since all the tectonic plates float on magma, we all live on boats too and are not subject property tax.

Honestly, I was ready for this to be wayyy less boat-like than it is.

The Plymouth Prowler is a neat car that deserves our respect and admiration, and we should acknowledge that just about nobody but mid-90's Chrysler would put a concept car into production virtually unchanged just because they wanted an excuse to play around with some production technique (in this case, working with…
