....I have used my parking brakes on all of my cars and never once in my life have I had to service it in any way whatsoever.

And sail boats are, inherently far more aesthetically pleasing. This has design traits of the last days of sail - with massive clipper ships and 2, 3, or 4 masted Schooners perfecting the ability of man to harness the wind for power.

“Traditional” cop cars, like the old Crown Vic, just aren’t big enough to carry cops’ massive egos these days.

you’re saying people would click into the article, read that, and demand their clicks back?

Oh great. I live in the area. I can barely write this over how angry it makes me. I ride mostly in bike lanes, wear a fluorescent yellow vest and have numerous lights to make me as visible as possible. Yet I have repeatedly been almost hit by people in their cars- the most recent when someone ran a stop light and not…

Charging network buildout is getting subsidized. We probably can’t expect the Feds to attach strings to those funds related to uptime expectations or use of a common protocol for car/charger communications, because Congress is too divided and what we got (in terms of subsidies) is probably the most we can expect. But…

I wouldn’t doubt your numbers given what we’re seeing.

Not profitable? The supercharging stations in my area are charging 4-5 times the local utility rate for electricity per KWH plus idling fee’s and other fee’s. Furthermore, their taking advantage of multiple federal programs for Tax credits for alternate fuel charging stations. I have no doubt buying a single $20K DC…

A bunch of these idiots don’t care about red lights and cannot bring to bare enough braincells to figure out how a roundabout works and these researchers think another light color is going to improve things. Never underestimate the power of stupid people.

Just more bullshit from big lightbulb.

there are a couple of things that can help mitigate the world’s lack of resources.

Both springback and crumpling problems are the result of faster work hardening in stainless steel relative to carbon steel. The crumple zone thing is just a math problem. You can certainly account for decreased plastic energy dissipation in the structural design. But if boy wonder already had a product launch before…

Read the story and you’ll see he did lose his job, even though I just answered your question. 

“He was saved by his quick thinking and upper body strength...” As someone who spent years racing bikes I kind of chuckled about the upper body strength line. While pro road cyclists are some of the fittest people on earth they aren’t known for their pull-up strength.

Maybe “heavy traffic below 40 mph on divided highways” is “extremely limited” where you live, but it’s my friggin life and where all the stress happens. that’s EXACTLY the situation I’d like automation to take off my hands.

Wouldn’t be BMW if it wasn’t at least 8 or 9 syllables.

Fucking knew you’d be here.

“Is it only “certified” Level 3 in Nevada because Mercedes paid for certifications to state as such?”

Yea it’s a weird position to take considering they aren’t even rated in the top three level 2 systems, let alone anything close to level 3.

I’m with you 1000%.
