My 8 and 10 year olds just went go-Karting for the first time and they figured out the brake on left, accelerator on right, without issue. it’s not hard! user error all the way

“I had my foot on the brake the whole time, and the car just kept going faster!” — Audi owner, 1987

It’s why having a clutch is the best theft deterrent in the world, that 3rd pedal bewilders most.

“If it is owners lying though, what reason would there be for them to wreck their own 80k plus cars?”

The brake is on the left, accelerator is on the right it has been that way for a centry now. this is user error

THERE’S ONLY TWO DAMN PEDALS. HOW HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND?

Bandwidth is easy, but Einstein says latency-free satellite uplinks are not physically possible, no matter how much paypal money you throw at it.

Every car will be equipped with a latency free, massive bandwidth uplink to a satellite constellation that covers every square foot of land on the earth.

Sounds cheap! Should only add a couple million to the purchase price fiftieth generation Leaf when it’s ready to be fielded.

I doubt that will work any better than getting the driver involved as whoever takes over comes in with no situational awareness. You can’t make the right choices if you don’t know what’s happening around you. And coming in under an emergency scenario leaves you too little time to get the facts you would need. The guys…

They only need to be 1% safer

“100% safer” would just mean they are twice as safe ;)

They only have to be safer than the average human driver. They don’t have to be 100% safe.

It will be close enough. 780 million miles with almost no accidents is impressive. I don’t think i have even driven 1 million miles yet and i have been in 1 already

A big chunk of my income goes to taxes. If I’m going to be dumping that much money, some of it better be used on fighter jets in flashy paint jobs.

Or people who don’t want to accept the very slight risk of being killed by an out-of-control plane at an airshow should just not attend airshows, and let everyone else continue to enjoy them.

I hate this mentality of banning everything that is even slightly unsafe. It’s why I never got to play dodgeball past 9th grade…

“The incident does not initially appear to be tied to an earlier crash of a U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team jet crash.’

I’m still rolling my eyes at the article’s comment that “...this crash is not apparently tied to the Thunderbird crash...”

Oh, man, I have some bad news for you about the early days of the F-16...

Fact: 80 percent of close air support in Iraq and Afganistan was conducted by planes other than the A10. The B1 carries much more ordinance and can loiter longer. The B1 was responsible for 40% of all CAS alone. Don't tell me the A10 is the be all do all. CAS is a mission, not a plane.

For reference your picture is a C-17 the small one in the picture above. The big boned girl in back is a C-5.
