This will happen ...

Those questions weren’t asked about US highways because it had already been proven in Germany, which the US system was intended to replicate.

Like the walk-in at your local restaurant hasn’t seen some action.

One factor that might help is that NZ citizens seem to be willing to help the common good. They had a mass shooting and almost immediately everyone agreed that there were too many guns and did something about it. Here in the “I’m a buckaroo and f’ you too” USA, this probably would not work.

Valet: It was like that when you dropped it off.

Panic. Reports are that some passengers hyperventilated.

Most open inwards and then fold outwards. The inward motion is to clear the stops that keep the door secure in the opening with pressurization.

No pedals, no-ped. It’s a scooter that isn’t legally a moped, which are displacement limited and generally cannot reach 30 mph on level ground.

The plastic body doesn’t make a car light weight. Underneath is just as much metal to carry the structural loads with the weight of the plastic on top of that.

Seems like cars could use a water-in-fuel sensor.

In the old days fuel delivery was to fill a glass container at the top of the pump so the customer could see the fuel and if there was dirt or water in it.

Just the fill-ports would be above the ground and they can be at the perimeter of the parking lot, but there are offsetting problems which are far worse than the rarity of this event.

Gasoline floats on water. But the good news is water removes ethanol from the gasoline but the bad news is that lowers octane rating but the good news is ethanol-free gasoline has a higher energy density.

Back when ... the friction to moving was far less. Now you need first and last month’s rent and a security deposit and to sign a year long lease for workers getting this sort of job - they aren’t leveraging loans against their $10M 401k.

I keep running out of spaces and now I know who is hogging them.

For my experience - I have already learned about 50,000 interfaces already. The first 49,999 interfaces were great but the last one was the last straw.

McCLOUD!

“Availability” is code for “willing to work for minimum wage 12-14 hour days, 7 days straight each week” to avoid hiring more workers.

Feel free to buy some EVs and send them there. If we can force every single adult in the West to do so, the problem will be solved.

Not a surprise. Boat building goes back centuries and there are far more from-scratch boat builders than from-scratch car makers.
