Yes, and reducing the number of cars on the road would therefore reduce accidents, but daily commutes create rush hour traffic, which is particularly dangerous; so reducing that specifically should reduce traffic fatalities.

Read the article, it’s way more granular than that, and puts economic activity on the same…

Commuting creates rush hours.  Leisure travel does not.

Thank you for your service, now go do something about your fellow nicotine fiends.

None of these beat or equal the stalk in one specific use case: indicating a second turn while in the midst of a turn or immediately after. If you are steering hand over hand, your right hand should never be too far from, and should frequently be coming near enough to that signal stalk to change direction, because…

The only thing wrong here is selling the cheap bags with pictures of the fancy ones.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever even seen one of those vans in person.

I just don’t know.

If a test exists, its results are the infallible word of god. Too many people in too many fields, this being one of them, apparently, never bother to ask what it is a test is actually testing, what the test isn’t testing, and whether that necessarily means what they think it means. It becomes a stamp of approval for…

Oh, it’s special, just not in the Mister Rogers sense.

How did he get out? Looks like deflating the rear tires could do it.

With the decline of public restrooms, parking lots are GONNA get shat in.

Why does the sliding rear window require the “copilot” option?

How long ago was this?

GM aren’t always a follower, and Tesla aren’t always leaders. This car is not an abject piece of crap (it may have reliability issues, I don’t know, but nothing starkly obvious), GM/Wuling/SAIC know their markets, and have designed multiple good-to-excellent products for their markets. GM have consistently positioned…

Right now, the only reason that Chinese automakers aren’t out disrupting the global car market, particularly in EVs, already, is that their capacity isn’t much beyond Chinese demand.

This is a competitor to a Smart. Which doesn’t make sense in areas which were designed around large vehicles.

Our lives were designed around our vehicles.  That really needs to sink in for most Americans.

Chinese drivers are coming around on safety, and Chinese car companies have been improving rapidly.

When Qoros released their first sedan, it had IIRC the best Euro NCAP score ever to that point, and that was like 8 years ago. Your typical major Chinese automaker is about on par with the Nissans and Chryslers of the…

The Wuling is in white, the red one is something more Changli-esque.  It’s not that bad, and Wulings in general are okay-to-good in crash tests. 

My father had a friend who successfully evaded police in one.

Religious dietary restrictions make sense if you consider the times and places where they came to be, and in some cases, where they are still predominantly observed. Prior to refrigeration, how safe do you figure it would be to eat a pig that had been raised eating mostly garbage? Sure, it’s probably okay if it’s…

My mother is from there and all her stories are sad
