They should hold it in international waters.

There’s good reasons to keep Dana White out of this, but that’s probably not why Musk wants to keep White out of it.

It’s “Chief X,” sir!

Heck, he could give away half his net worth, contribute more to charity than anything like this could ever raise in a century, and still have more money than he could ever hope to spend.

Ah well. It’s too bad we won’t get to see Elon Musk’s face get rearranged like a Mr. Potato Head.

Musk, the only possible person to make Zuckerberg look even remotely cool

he apparently thought they could make this a legitimate charity competition

The only way I would have been interested in this is if it was to the death, and winner take all. Everything else is just sick swinging.

Not that you wouldn’t be fine, but I suspect this “elderly driver” doesn’t do any of those things you mention either. The problem is, none of those are what happened here and it’s reaction time that is the factor, which is something that decreases with age in general.

No, i think the fact that this was an SUV is directly relevant. The rav4 in question has a uniquely pointy and high nose for the class. If this lady was in a camry, the other woman would have likely been pinned at the legs instead of getting run over. Sedans are just worse at running people over.

100% agreed. I’d re-test all drivers every 5 years too. Which might be unpopular, but giving someone a licence at 16 and expecting by the time they’re 40 to be doing things right is absurd.

More frequent testing probably is not “the answer” since people will be way more focused on passing that specific test. More severe sanctions for things like poor lane discipline or not “going on the green”, be it from aging or texting, would probably be more effective in catching the small problems before they become…

Uh, no.

I am 53 years old. I have been driving since I was 16. I have had [hold on a second]...at least 14 cars. I have driven rurally, in the city, on the freeway, and on the some of the busiest areas of the country (80/94 in Chicago comes to mind)

I have rented a car that is unfamiliar to me no less than 1o times. I have…

I watched a very old man reverse out of his parking spot in his mint condition 1995 Lexus. I started counting in my head after 30 seconds of waiting, it was genuinely 2 minutes to reverse out, turn and proceed. Admittedly he hit nothing. But surely he’s a crash waiting to happen.

Goes right back to re-training. If the either driver can not show they are proficient enough to operate the transit machine / human crusher, ask some basic questions like: do you really need to drive the car, can you actually be trained to drive the car correctly, do you actually have a need to drive the car and do…

Ah, the article was poorly written

Yeah. It isn’t made clear. Terrible reporting as usual (and what the fuck does “The driver was uninformed, according to the outlet” mean?).
