I still want one of those. I shall own one as a second car. Such an understated beautiful classy look. Reminds me of other classy cars from that era such as the Bentley Brooklands.

For real. I have an ‘85 CJ with pretty basic coverage for $900 a year and its worth like...40 bucks (to the insurance company).

Am I the only one who thinks this EXACT scenario should be test number fucking one? If the system can’t handle this....

the other issue in addition to this is what looks like an over-reliance on the system—it’s not just that he car itself wasn’t sufficient, it was that the person was putting more trust in it than it deserved, something we’re seeing time and time again with this tech.

Unavoidable my ass! Having found the video, if these self driving cars are supposed to have such sophisticated sensors it should totally have been able to detect her in time to avoid her, or at least make an attempt.

The most goddamned infuriating thing about this video is the fucking camera work!!!!! Jesus H. Christ!!!! Landscape mode motherfucker!!!

I just sent them this in a FB comment to let them know what features they forgot. Zero response. Shocker.

So you had a car with a different engine, on a totally different platform and that’s why you won’t even consider an Accord? GREAT logic.

As an engineer, I appreciate the mechanical weirdness, even if it’s not technically optimal.

It must be an unladen African swallow to be moving at that velocity.

Yeah, but is it carrying a coconut?

An Elise is a cool car and they will never be able to build something like that again. If you fit in it and can deal with the minimalism then go for it.

Journalist says a Lotus is good. No one listens. Everyone buys a Cayman or 911. Rinse and repeat.

Translation: “The kids who want these cars can’t afford them, so we can’t justify development costs of adding another option. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go work on the automatic for the new Supra.”

If Saab was able to figure out how to electronically operate a clutch (Saab Sensonic 900NG) in the mid 1990s, I would think Subaru should be able to figure out how to depress the clutch electronically in the event of an emergency stop. Just my thought.

How to make Subaru fans happy:
Keep manuals✔
Hatchback WRX✘

Cool build and all, but that thing needs some serious lowering.

I’m not sure why we continue to look for rational justification for anything Trump does, when it’s clear that his only motivation is sheer spite for the brown guy who previously held the office.

Nope. You just can’t improve on a 1986 Chrysler LeBaron GTS.
