For $100, you can get Michael Rapaport to send a personalized video to anyone—maybe we can get him to do a birthday song for Ariana

The best take on this so far:

Nah, you mad

Just because it makes the Musk fanboys so mad, I hope Jalopnik does twenty articles today about Elon’s idiotic sledcartunnel.

You can just make a protected lane on the existing freeway that’s only for autonomous vehicles, with the same results. There’s the added benefit of not trapping you in a tunnel if one of the cars breaks down.

Can you envision any version of this, at scale, with all the kinks worked out, that would “solve traffic” in any fashion whatsoever?

This guy is one of my favorite car guys. He was featured earlier on Petrolicious with his XJR-15. Jasbir Dhillon is the Jalop I want to be when I grow up.

Mercedes had already gone further down market than that, with the A class in pretty much every market except the USA.

You’re so right. A comment on a blog post should really be accompanied by a deep statistical analysis of the subject at hand, along with relevant supporting evidence and peer-reviewed studies, as appropriate. How else is Jeff Bezos supposed to use the Jalopnik comment section as a policymaking tool for Amazon’s
