As an American, I hardly see what was in need of defense here.

I can’t wait for the new porsh panorama to come into the press fleet for a review

I think what explains Donald Trump is that he has no sense of long term consequences for his actions or his statements. The book that took him from random real estate developer to pop culture reference was “The Art of the Deal,” not say, “The Art of the Stable, Viable Long Term, and Profitable Deal that Yields Steady…

You’re reading a “... for Hillary” where this post does not include one. Donald Trump does not do anything for anyone who is not Donald Trump.

Look, Tesla posts do get attention, that’s true. No reason not to write about them. But we’ve done PLENTY of critical Tesla stuff: http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-te… and http://jalopnik.com/tesla-model-s-… and http://jalopnik.com/does-teslas-se… and http://jalopnik.com/5887265/tesla-… oh, and there’s more.

Somewhat unrelated, but goes like this:

That interior is pure alcanterrorism.

you think horses are expensive? Ever driven outside a city?

I’m telling you all, give it a few years and it’ll turn out Evans was hired just to be a hate sink for one season in order that the people that would hate anyone who wasn’t Clarkson would have someone to bitch about and a little victory to crow about when he left. That way he’d smooth the way for the rest of the new…

I always wondered about that. Pretty cool actually, such a small detail makes such a big difference in the look of a cars interior.

Man you always seem to live up to your name whenever I see your comments. It’s almost as if you don’t understand the concept of “fun”. Drifting on tracks can be cool and fun to watch and participate in.

See? If everyone on that military base were armed, this sort of thing wouldn’t happen!

It’s like the opposite of BMW in terms of prick location. Usually a Cactus is filled with juice, and Germans and juice don't always get along, for obvious reasons.

Yep, that's a big issue with these things. There've also been a number of these types of articles going at least back to the 90s and it regularly turned out that the 'AI' was given instantaneous, perfect, access to all data including, sometimes, the inputs the human opponent was making. I don't know if this thing is a…

“Not only was Lee not able to score a kill against ALPHA after repeated attempts, he was shot out of the air every time during protracted engagements in the simulator.”

This. This is the single most significant advantage an AI pilot would provide in air combat over a human. The decisions it makes and predicts are an advantage. The maneuvers it can execute that a human pilot is incapable of performing give it an unbeatable edge.

The benefits of having a robot brain in a real-world fighter jet are obvious. A computer doesn’t get fatigued. It doesn’t get a case of the Mondays. It doesn’t have personal problems to bring to work and it doesn’t have its own set of morals that might interfere with its interpretation of orders.
