“When driverless cars take over and erase the concept of a privately-owned car, what are we going to do with all of this garage space?”

Well, we will need gun ranges for practice and meeting spaces for organizing the rebellion.....

New cars are expensive and millenials can’t afford them. Why is this a surprise? Is there some sort of weird assumption that back in the day every 16 year-old kid went out and bought brand new muscle cars whenever they wanted? Well we didn’t. And here’s the difference between generations. None of my friends had new…

I was hoping there really was such a thing as a ‘Laser-Powered Rifle Scope’ as that might be tremendously cool (though what, I wonder, would the laser be powering?). The idiocy of what passes as journalism on Gizmodo is breathtaking.

That link seems to contradict your point. Rather dramatically, in fact.

BMW continues a long tradition of making effective but terribly unsexy things.

You are quite right. I re-read my original post and realize I generalized ‘cities’, when in my head I was specifically thinking American cities, and NYC in particular - and even then only in regards to current demographic trends. My error.

Cities expand and contract, grow and decline. If you don’t know that, you do now.

Cities have seen their high-water mark for this generation. Even if they ban cars, cities have a very uncertain future ahead of them. So it really doesn’t matter to car people whether cities ban them or not. Car ownership will continue far, far into the future.

All the Jalop guys are wrong. A 1975 GM convertible (Olds, Chevy, Pontiac or Cadillac) is the right answer. Easy maintenence, comfy, room for everyone, reasonably bullet-proof, good looking, and you’re not likely to lose much (if any) value over time. In fact you might make some.

Come to Jalopnik for the automotive stuff, leave immediately because of the really stupid politics.

None. The A 13 has no immigrants on it at all. Just came back from Dieppe (another Channel port) where there were no refugees either. Seems like they all head to Calais, though I don’t know why.

I’d be curious to know Jalopniks demo.

I misread this.

What do you mean “...this is for the best,....”?

Yes!!!!!!

A very, very long time. With 200+ million cars on US roads, and a turnover rate of 6% it will take 30 years from whenever something like this even starts. And the political pushback will make even contemplating such a move incredibly difficult. Perhaps in 100 years or so....

I’ve always been amazed that people don’t realize that autonomous cars will be required to adhere to the speed limit (at best), and will therefor slow everything down. This will also put a serious dent in acceptance outside of cities.

I would be very careful about buying a damaged and badly painted Johnny Depp corpse. There are a lot of ‘fakey-do’s’ out there, so do your homework first. I guess it really depends on how you want to use it. For display only? Celebrity-corpse cruises? A daily corpse? And then you have to consider the cost of…

I was so prepared for this to be a sex article......

Ree is amazing. She deserves tons more recognition than she gets. Absolutely one of the nicest people in this business.
