Why are we even having this discussion? Toyota has made their views clear on the GR86, which is advertised as a racing and drifting car, and literally comes with a NASA membership.

Yes they will. People are going to be absolutely rabid over this thing, and they’re going to sell every single one of them, with an average ticket of well over MSRP.

Of course it would be news to them, they missed the memo, which is why they bought Celicas.

Thank you! I constantly tell people about this Southeast Toyota Distributors bullshit. They determine what options you can buy, what those options cost, etc. A good example is that the cargo mat for the Supra costs $199 when ordered with the car here in the south, whereas it’s $89 (or $99 I think now) everywhere else.…

And no one needed to travel to the alien planet in the first place - the entire war started with the Covenant invading the human colony on Reach.

Did you watch the trailer? They’re literally talking about discovering the existence of (what they thought at the time was) the halo, and needing to find it to end the war.

Sucks that they didn’t have enough money left over to hop over to the 26th century and grab a realistic car or two

Comments like this are why we need to bring back COTD.

Hah, yeah, I was corrected earlier - I did mean ambiguous. I think the most important thing, really, is that until cars are smart enough to have some strong degree of situational awareness - probably not for a long time to come - they should not be attempting to drive like humans.

Nope. Knowing a single person doesn’t magically mean that it happens to thousands of people. Crime statistics do. A 3-second Google search shows throngs of police departments and safety sites saying things like below:

Ah, you’re one of those. Never happened to you, so it doesn’t happen? Not in the more-gentrified areas, I suppose. I personally know people this has happened to, though, so go kick rocks.

Uh - how about in the thousands of cases per year where people stopping at a stop sign resulted in a carjacking? That’s literally why each of those cities (and many others) each have their own coined phrase for rolling stops, such as the ‘Philly glide’.

HAH! I did mean ambiguous. I promise I know English. Even if I couldn’t edit it, I’d leave it because of how stupidly funny it is that I wrote that.

You raise a good point, especially since Tesla is now relying 100% on cameras for autopilot. Do a quick search - it is EXTREMELY common for Teslas to report an error that at least one camera has been blinded while driving at night, and just as common for lens fog to block the b-pillar cameras - generally anytime it’s…

Agreed. The rolling stop, like speeding, has been deemed acceptable in the court of public opinion. Shoplifting has not, as, despite the fact that it’s usually a large corporation, it is not a victimless crime.

I mean - your intentionally-slippery-slope argument.... not actually a slippery slope. Look at the number of companies (like Facebook, and hotels.com) caught recording from your phone, and how long they were able to do that for, before they were made to stop.

This is an interesting take - and I think it’s a good one. There’s an androgynous zone where breaking certain laws is reasonable and understandable, and if the law enforcement is reasonable, there should be no reason to give you a ticket for many of these things.

If often absolutely is, especially in Philly, NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.

First, this isn’t ok. Autonomous vehicles should not be driving like humans do.

I thought the world was trying to move away from combustion engines.
