We have reached the point of capitalism where we’re literally out here donating money to corporations for no reason.

This. The Jetta used to be a quasi-upmarket alternative to the Camcord twins but has since become a fleet special. The GTI/R have gone up in price but their interiors have gone downmarket, even with the “screen is king” approach. The id.4 has odd cost-cutting measures and is not as competitive as it needs to be.
Is VW no longer competitive because of costs or because they have a completely uninviting lineup of cars?
Here’s my take on VW: They simply don’t make that many interesting vehicles anymore. They used to make sort of quirky and obviously very German looking cars and were able to differentiate themselves from the others. But now they make vehicles like the Atlas, which looks more or less like a Ford Explorer or any number…
I wouldn’t use Italy as a barometer of how we’re doing re: fossil fuel reduction. They’re led by fascists so of course they’re into keeping the status quo for businesses (if fascism = capitalist dictatorship, as some have suggested).
Suing a company that only does business in China for copyright violations in China, within Chinese courts is largely a fools errand.
To the Japanese (and most of the rest of the world), Americans being freaked out by boobs but excited by bullets is weird.
more like the normalization of guns in the west is weird.
Be sure to insist that mommy leave your night light on - conspiracists are everywhere, and they never sleep!
I walked by a black Tesla model 3 yesterday and was surprised how terrible the paint was on it. It looked like they came at it at different angle on each panel because none of it flowed like you would expect. Ive seen better paint jobs on Chrysler products from the 80's
Given that some Tesla buyers paid $15k for imaginary FSD, paying just over half that and actually getting something doesn’t seem like such a bad deal.
i’m more concerned about the window seal not being flat.... Those defects seem minor but for $8,000 it should be flawless. I’m personally hoping factory wrapped cars become more of a thing because you can pick out your own custom color and it will protect the factory paint for when you sell the car.
Elon isn’t going to date you dude.
Calling something full self driving that is not capable of reacting to a literal tractor trailer across the road is insane. It is equally insane to expect that a human should be at the ready in a split second when FSD fails to do it’s advertised job.
So you know how in the US even a little sexuality gets a game an M rating? The same is true in Japan for any game that allows killing civillians. In Goldeneye you can kill scientists and in Jet Force Gemini you can kill the civillians.
*Narrator voice* It isn't
Anyone notice they shuttered Jezebel and not a peep from any of the other sites? That’s dirty shit right there. I’d take Jez over Jalopnik any day.
We should not be beta-testing this kind of thing on public roads. I really hope this case goes to an actual trial. No settlements. Don’t let Elon write a little check to make this go away. People were killed using software that was absolutely not ready to be deployed to the public.
Everything about this episode fills me with great confidence that OpenAI will continue to put the careful stewardship of its new technology over any concerns about profit.
The news is so chock full of Sam Altman stories and I cannot for the life of me glean any information from any of these stories about why the fuck I should care about this dude?
The Villages is my idea of literal hell on Earth.
