Years ago, I had a classmate tell me he hated Miatas after finding out that I drove one. I asked why, and he said “every time I think I’ve found a parking spot, I pull around and there’s a damn Miata in it! They are too small!” Made my day.

“You drive a Volvo, what do you know?”

I’m not a Tesla fanboy by any stretch but I don’t know why you’d have a problem with Tesla naming their system that behaves exactly like an aircraft autopilot system does “autopilot”.

We have people blaming Tide for the rise in Tide pod challenges because they blame Tide for making Tide pods look like candy.

No, autopilot does mean autopilot. Autopilot on a plane isn’t full autonomy either.

Autopilot has been used as a flying assist term for decades and hasn’t ever meant a pilot could or should give up control of the helm because it’s on. It’s appropriately named, it’s just that people’s understanding of what that name has always meant is wrong.

I love this and feel like it could be the tag line for virtually every romantic comedy. Or a really touching memorial for me and the wife.

Yeah my little sister switched to USAA a while ago and loves it as well.

“Autopilot is intended for use only with a fully attentive driver,” a Tesla spokesperson said.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so obsessed with identity politics.

No, you have to get in the back seat and lie down.

Saying that people were nominated simply to satisfy a “push for diversity” undermines the fact they were chosen because they did good work, not because of their race or gender.

I think we can all safely assume that.

How long before we find out the driver wasn’t paying attention?

Why don’t they simply get more money?

My father-in-law drives a Civic. He also threatens to give it to me.

Which generations are eating laundry detergent again?

Bullshit. As much as I’d like to think that we’re not going to repeat the mistakes of our elders, we are most certainly going to spend stupid amounts of money trying to capture our youths or get the youths we *wish* we had - just like our elders.

Hey, fuck you.
