I’m in complete agreement with this, but keep in mind that Autopilot (2014, HW2 2016) pre-dates the SAE’s publication of driver assist/autonomy levels (2018) by some four years. It wasn’t like Tesla knowingly made a system that they knew was level-2 and then called it Autopilot, but the level was applied after the

Trimmed mean?

It won’t. The X4 is rated at just 135 minutes recording time at 5.7k 30fps. I suppose lowering the resolution will extend that a bit, but not dramatically so as to extend it to a full 12 hours.

That’s why car loans are being offered with increasingly long terms. Car costs more than your annual income? Why not pay it off in 7 years or so?

IIRC the camera used for this was also an Insta360.

They’re for turning the headlights down, not up, so they can only makes things better for approaching traffic.

If it’s simple and it works...

Eh it’ll be fine. I was expecting something crazy but it looks like water it went through wouldn’t even go over your ankles, and with a carbon fiber construction there’s a lot less things that will rust on a Pagani.

Question is do they need to build this outside Italy? GranTurismo has been genericized enough that the Italian economic minister probably won’t care. Folgore doesn’t sound super Italian, and could be changed with Lightning badges instead.

They should sell it under Chrysler, Dodge, or better yet RAM to spite their smooth brain economic minister.

Mitsubishi are still an engineering powerhouse now. They’re working on Japan’s homegrown 6th-gen stealth fighter of which the first prototype should be due soon, and produce everything from pens to MRIs, warships, jets, nuclear reactors, and even space launch vehicles.

When the new RS3 came out and said something about the rear diff being able to send torque to either side my immediate thought was that Mitsubishi already had that tech way back in 1996 with the Evo IV. Also the Land Cruiser 300 finally has decent off-road traction control, something the Pajero has had since 2003.

Lexus IS Wax edition says hi!

One of my cars still has a cassette player!

I find it hilarious that Toyota specifically started up the Scion brand to appeal to the younger demographic, but the xB specifically was beloved by old people.

No kids, and I commute solo, so rather than the minivan what I really need is a Miata. It’s fun to drive, frugal, and has all the space I need daily. It’s not that hard to set a backpack down on the passenger seat.

A plane is also miles away from anything else, and completely unlike driving on the road where you’re in close proximity with other cars and terrain.

Thing with being in a car is you might not even feel the quake unless it’s really strong. A few years ago we had a magnitude 5 but it happened while I was driving. I only found out after arriving home and everyone was talking about it.

Chrysler has a long tradition. Show up late, mail it in and say we tried and sell some more Hemis. They are holding to that tradition. I expect the Pacifica
