Thankfully, thankfully that hasn’t happened for every industry, but the California standards are creeping out more into the rest of the nation, especially when it comes to emissions.

“Every damned show is filmed in CA...”

Hey now, you could do some interesting photo ops in Downtown Las Vegas and down on the Strip.

The Suffolk-Norfolk commute is pretty insane. I’ve done Williamsburg - Norfolk and Suffolk - Norfolk, both are crazy! Autonomous cars would simply add to the hilarity.

True enough, they had to do some in-depth preparatory work prior to commencing testing. The only other alternative would be to develop a facility for testing the autonomous vehicles, but then you have to have pedestrians, traffic, and so on. Not to mention the testing you brought up. Good point, though.

Now now, $kay, if Google does that, they’ll also have to hire the Hoff.

Same statement applies to Hampton Roads. I mean anywhere in Hampton Roads, especially on the bridge tunnels around these parts.

In the end, it’s about what makes fiscal sense. Our hearts and minds be damned, if it doesn’t make fiscal sense, then we can’t do it.

Along with impounding the car, and dragging out the case so long that it ends up going to the state supreme court. You got it!

Good for Google. They’ve been building up operations in that part of the U.S. for a while, I missed their expansion of autonomous cars.

Damnit, Jim, I’m a Virginian, not a Californian!

Dear Google,

This. COTD!

It’s choose your own soundtrack time!

First, the autonomous car division goes independent. Then, we get our asses to Mars. The autonomous cab company makes a strategic move to Mars, and one day renames their company to Johnny Cab, so named not because of the driver (which looks like an overgrown ventriloquist mannequin), but because it includes one vital…

Yeah, get a “real” bike they say...

Gallagher: “Dodge” is the perfect word to put on the front of a van comin’ at ya. If it says “Ram” on the side, they’re after your ass.

That’s because of the MR2’s best friend Snap. Snap Oversteer.

Kind of reminds me of the helo landing deck on the early DDGs...
