Non-art person here. I need an explainer on why works that look like this, but by famous artists, aren’t called ‘amature talent’ but instead have “coarse, gestural brushwork”. Because to me this could be by George W. or any kid with talent in my high school art class. I don't get it, which is OK too.

To me it feels like they draw up plans for an action, but it takes six months to execute. So this is the April ‘15 plan coming through.

Me too in the garage. Or parked in front of somethings. Very pretty. The one we drove at least. Tesla on the road.

Mine too, now. Totally not hype. Beat the $165k Panamera hands-down. The car kicks ass.

That makes no sense to me. Pulling out chargers OR the Duke connection. Electric utilities can’t wait till we’re all driving electrics (more specifically, charging our electrics at night during off-peak hours to fill up their base loads), so they should think anything to get us there is good.

“...when they see a Tesla not plugged in...”

Well in comparison, I drove a Tesla too that day and it managed to have a pretty perfect balance of road feel and comfort. I couldn't believe it either.

I think that’s exactly right. Especially since the Google will take on liability for now. I think when you buy one you’ll sign a lot of stuff. And I’m still split on whether you should have a manual override. Especially when you’re late and want to drive aggressively, when perhaps you haven’t actually driven in months.

That’s pretty much right on. I was quite dissappointed. It drove like an Oldsmobile. But it looked great inside and was quite comfortable.

I drove a Porsche Panamera S E-hybrid not long ago. It did not do that.

You know someone’s gonna run your fake code there as a story Onion style.

Real question: Why would they use 26 missiles to hit 11 targets as marketing material? With a 15% failure rate, even if they thought it was less, certainly they’d know there was risk in sending so many. What’s missing?

Those images are so good I can't even find anything to make fun of. Really cool.

I hope you’ve got that pic printed and framed somewhere.

I saw that too. Hey it's got a snorkel it can swim man!

Here’s to hoping!

You’re right. I lost it at the pre-negotiating part huh? In reality each car would fight to the death to prevent the other from testifying as the autonomous lawyer drones swoop in to try to get your signature.

That’s true enough. You look at the hill as a death trap but the car thinks it can do it. You figure ‘well ok then’ and you die. Kinda the auto equivalent of ‘hold my beer and watch this’. Or ‘I’m sorry Dave....’ Ohhhh but how much easier would the CIA’s job be?

But imagine a world where only autonous cars crash into each other, and they negotiate the fault between them based on pre-negotiated standards, then send the accident report to the police and file the insurance claims for each owner by the time you get out.
