A 20 year old photo, likely.

I think many people will agree the human knee joint is a terrible design, prone to injury under stress. Why replicate it in a robot when you have a clean sheet to design the best machine for automation? Unless the robot’s job is to climb ladders, or take over all human activity, why does it need to be designed that…

I had a clapped Avis rental Mustang Convertible V6 in Las Vegas. Certainly did not give confidence to buy a used one with 50K on it, even if it lived a hard life.

It’s no Smart car, but its definitely tiny compared to most new vehicles, even the new Chevy Trax.

They’re still expensive. You pay a premium for an EV, over an ICE equivalent.

“bright orange ‘Magma’ color is a reference to “Korea’s volcanoes and the emotion, passion and vibrancy of the nation’s culture.””

Early adopters shouldn’t get upset when prices on new technology drop. That’s the price you pay to be able to brag about your ‘revolutionary’ EV.

Yup. If this were about an ICE truck, it would be all roses for the truck.

Yes, let’s not forget those Honda racing motorcycles from the 60's with ridiculous number of gears...

What’s interesting is that stories on this website can just disappear, with no correction notice, or any acknowledgement by the publisher.

I’m guessing that the approach to the crossing will be more heavily fortified, with chicanes added, on both sides, to prevent this from happening in the future.

I believe this is the median in question.

Interesting how the story that was posted immediately after the event ‘disappeared’ from Jalopnik after a few more facts came out.

And Jalopnik has also become a caricature of itself. The latest website updates make the site virtually unusable.

I’m surprised that the Las Vegas Blvd, straight wasn’t more of a disaster. I expected that normal daytime traffic between sessions would drop all manner of crap (antifreeze, oil, cigarette butts, used condoms etc.) onto the surface, which would cause issues. Track crews must have been busy prior to the sessions.

I’ve seen a VW television ad for the id4, where a nice old grandma test drives a new EV...then promptly starts doing smoky donuts in a parking lot! Can’t wait for the nannies to ban that one too.

From what I can see from the surveillance video, the car was headed towards the toll gate, then ended up flying into the US Customs booths, where traffic comes from Canada! Hence the assumption it was a vehicle entering from Canada.

But yet Jimmy Kimmel has moved past The Man Show without any damaging baggage.

Even though Full Self-Driving was not engaged, don’t the cars have a Self-Preservation mode that would prevent a catastrophic event like this? Seems like an oversight on Elon’s part.

“12-mile commute every day, five days a week would only cost around $20 per year [or do you mean month] to keep your e-bike battery topped up. In contrast, the average car in America would cost you more than three times that much in gas alone.”
