There’s a old TATA TL flatbed that’s driving

I live in leeds; There’s a old mercedes-badged TATA TL flatbed that I see driving around quite often; seems to be owned by a local tree surgery firm (closest pic I can find to it):

man, my grammar is dreadful. Sorry about that.

why can a tesla model X, a car sufficiently coated in sensors to drive itself, not able to check for oncoming traffic before opening the doors? 

Maybe it’s all a ploy to help push autonomous cars; “hey, look how hard it is to work all these other controls you want to work while driving; wouldn’t it be easier if we did the driving for you?”

Yeah, I can see it now too; just couldn’t when I posted it.

This image is supposed to be in there:

Here’s hoping it’s a tad more elegant than than their previous attempt:

I like cars, and want to own one, but I view them as a thing of the past, something that’s had it’s day, at least for the majority. As a way of moving large numbers of people around the place, personally owned cars are awkward and inefficient. greater adoption of public transport is a better way forwards; safer, more…

If the world collapses into an anarchic mess of overcrowding and hospitals filled with people on the edge of death, while all the crematoriums go bust, we’ll know what’s happened...

I found this article whilst clearing out my tabs...

Shouldn’t we also work out how high a cliff would be required, and if a cliff of that height even exists?

Bonus feature; put some aggressive AT tires on the back, reverse it over the grave, open the hatch, and deck the throttle; save the trouble of coffin bearers, and halve the money spent on gravediggers!

Make like UPS drivers; Put a spare heavy on the back seat with the captive, and only turn in one direction, with the captive on your inside. If you keep your speed up, it’ll make it harder to open the door and jump out.

I want one; just looks hilarious. I kind of feel that, as far as crazy engine-swap projects go, a 2cv’s a relatively practical one to work on, too; small (so easy to find space), light (easy to shift around manually while working on it), and easy to disassemble. Only disadvantage would be the suspension; much as I…

Definitely need a swathe of war mongering switches. That blank panel’s just asking for it.

I was trying to think of some vaguely amusing kickback to this argument, but my mind can’t sink that low. If my city floods out, or whatever natural disaster happens to occur, and someone breaks into my house and takes something they need to survive, fuck it; they need it more than me. And even if they were looting…

What about **insert vapourware supercar here**?

Think I’d rather get a ford flex and put it on a diet.

I’m not a convertible hater, but I’d pick out the same three sections, tbh; would really like to get an old convertible land yacht and road-trip it through America (slightly impeded by being a brit with limited funds)
