It’s supposed to have LIDAR or similar sensors which detect obstacles in front of it - whether or not they’re illuminated.

Spoiler: They’re reviving the Paseo!

I’m old enough to have been around when these were being built & sold new...

We don’t need any performance cars, either. How many are actually driven on a track?

Face it, stereotypes exist for a reason.

This is the America I know and love.

Naw, I don’t see the NRA condoning this in any form.
