No, autonomous cars do not have a better record than human drivers, who average 1.18 fatalities per 100 million miles of driving. Uber had a fatality after only 3 million miles. Tesla has had two fatalities in probably less than 100 million miles on autopilot. Autonomous cars do not have enough miles in real world…

With industrial profits rising like crazy (hello wealth gap), guess who benefits from all the environmental cost cutting? CEOs, high net worth individuals and institutional investors. Guess who receives ZERO benefit from these profits? The middle class. All that extra profit does nothing for YOU, but it definitely…

News Flash New York Taxi Industry is Corrupt!!!!

Remember the Bill Clinton impeachment? Remember what that special counsel was for? Hint: nothing to do with boning interns in the White House. It was the Whitewater controversy, which ended up being a wash from a legal standpoint. Regardless, Clinton still faced impeachment for obstruction of justice because he lied…

Neutral: I’d much rather be actually driving than sort-of driving while also babysitting a nagging robot.

Its for the diesel specifically, at least on the current trucks. I assume it’s only really needed when running peak loads but for the rest of the time it just is visual to let other know it’s a Duramax right away.

Crikey. I hope that ended in jail time.

We’ve reached peak pickup. These things will age about as well as 50s tail fins.

My current DD is an S-10. It’s the ideal truck-size for me, and I wish somebody would make a true modern equivalent to it. Give it one of those nice turbocharged 4-bangers so it gets decent gas mileage, but otherwise, keep it basic: manual locks, seats, windows, mirrors, and transmission, at a price working people can…

I bet the “bolder, larger proportions” will include making the whole thing taller, thereby making it even more difficult to load and unload the bed.

4th: nice gig if you can get it... take over vw, become a whipping boy for the courts and media... absorb most of the heat and fallout and then once it seems the resolution is in sight you pull the chord on that golden parachute and coast down to your yacht filled with scantily clad supermodels frolicing in jacuzzis…

Because Europe was busy destroying its own economy when Obama was around and Bush was an idiot.

Separate from this whole Trump thing, it’s pretty clear China wants to take over the auto market. Every foreign auto manufacturer must share the factory with a Chinese company (basically, the Chinese government). That probably goes for any foreign manufacturer who builds a factory in China. They will take any…

Fair devil’s advocate. And F1 will never be cheap or easy. That doesn’t mean we need 1100 person teams. That’s a bit ludicrous. I’ve been struggling with what “pinnacle of autosport” actually means in a practical sense. On the one hand it should mean the best drivers in the world, which Formula 1 generally does a good…

I’ve thought for a while now that instead of having a 4-cyl Camaro they should have made a smaller (maybe 2-seater) sports car on the Alpha chassis with the ecotec 4.
I mean the current 4-cyl and V6 Camaro’s are very competent sports cars, but they get shit all over because they are a poser version of the REAL…

The best generation of Camero is from 2003-2009.

Considering the Camaro is already the lightest in this class complaining about weight on the Camaro specifically is a bit much. The camaro’s chassis was designed with the 650 horsepower Zl1 1LE in mind and that’s where all the weight is coming from. The lower trim versions are for people that either don’t want or…

Pretty sure you can gut the car yourself...

the smog levels in the last 20 years have dropped so much that you can see LA from OC occasionally.

I believe that Trump’s greatest deception is convincing anybody that he knows about business.
