I think we do have to consider priorities, though. I want my 401K to be reliable, steady growth until I can start withdrawing at retirement... where much of Wall Street feels like a gambling version of musical chairs. Buy cheap, pump the short term numbers, sell out before the chickens come to roost. There are two…

there are two main factors pushing autonomous vehicles:

The guy who works for a car site and willfully subjects themselves to the misery of air cooled VW ownership hates cars?

You’re blinded by your hate of change and progress that you can’t see that people can like cars and also understand the myriad issues that come with them.

I would trade my gas daily driver for an EV…

“Can someone help me understand why the heck there’s such a big push (billions and billions of dollars) for autonomous cars?”

its my understanding that its not designed as a self destruct system, but more a scuttling. Instead of poking holes in the boat, they just turn off the cooling systems and backups and let the power source meltdown.  usually nuclear or anti-matter or whatever.

A standard, one hour shop labor PPI? Maybe not, if the repair was well done and everything…

This happens rather regularly in the USA. As in daily at collision center. I’m an insurance adjuster, replacing a quarter panel (ITS NOT CALLED A REAR FENDER!!!) along with the lock pillar (C-pillar on sedans) is a fairly straightforward process on many cars and every OEM has a sectioning guideline available to shops…

The heater isn’t creating moisture. Anyway, this is how the defrost setting works on most cars.

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.

I agree with you that she needs to do what’s best for GM - that’s certainly her job. And attempting to work with the Trump administration on that council was a good move, at least at the time.

First Gear:

Reverse: Obligatory -

“It has not much to do with the Leaf which is now sharing the Renault Zoé platform”

then start writing for the site and show everyone what a racist white guy thinks of the world.  we dont get enough of those types of opinions.  be the change you wanna see and quit bitching.  you dont even know what socialism is. 

Eh. It will likely still make me chuckle. Seamen had some funny moments.
