Why the fuck is safety not a primary concern over cost and weight? You realize once the donut is installed on the vehicle that the driver gets absolutely zero reminders from the dash? What stops them from just forgetting and plowing down the highway like normal? Absolutely nothing prevents that, you have to seriously h…

Meanwhile on NP/ND you see well-maintained 1st-gen Integras going for under $7,000.

Does Jalopnik think we all live together in the same city?

Rental car companies have to deal with ridiculous amounts of liability, I don’t blame them for charging as much as they do.

I know you guys love unions but at this point you can’t be both pro union and pro EV. If they win then it’s bad news for EVs. They’re actively trying to kill the transition with this strike.

There’s more to it than just that. Car companies have a perpetual problem to solve; all of their current workforce will age out and retire at some point. Schools need to keep churning out more car enthusiasts somehow, but the car makers don’t run the education system.

I grew up with Lamborghinis and Ferraris in my Hot Wheels sets. Were those equally pointless? Of course not.

Maybe they underestimated how difficult owning an electric car without home charging can be.

So with the Chinese US government plowing millions into an industry serving a shrinking sector, can it expect to see a return on its investment?

No, the issue is the limits of human perception and attention span. It is not reasonable to expect drivers to be both alert and in control, while also encouraging them to release control at times where they feel safe.

You say out of touch, but the only reason they’re wealthy is because they or their families are selling highly profitable and in-demand goods and services. They’re more in touch with reality than you are when it comes to knowing what people really need.

No, get your facts straight.

Cereal is bad for you and was originally prescribed to stop kids from masturbating. It’s just cheap filler, and it’s not hard to find this information on the Internet.

Do you know anyone else that is providing a state-of-the-art military satellite network?

I’m a remote worker that lives in a small town that has no fast food chains. It’s so remote that we only have mom and pop restaurants. Franchisees can’t turn a profit out here so no one even tries to open a fast food joint. It’s quite nice, really.

Mass-produced items shipped in from hundreds of miles away somehow being cheaper than locally sourced human labor was a temporary phenomenon and isn’t sustainable. The idea that you can save money with centralized production only works when fuel costs are low. If the fuel costs go up then every shipment of raw…

Not going to show a photo of the finished print, eh?

Continually automating the recipes and processes for efficiency’s sake has its limits, though. The differences in taste, texture, aromas, and glycemic impact are worlds apart in fresh made items vs frozen, reheated items.

Oh god that makes it even worse. The state of universities if they’re graduating kids like this.

US government screwed the pooch by not investing in EVs 30 years ago when oil was still cheap and abundant. Now it’s expensive and that makes production and transport of the EVs even more expensive. Dealers are nervous because they know people can’t afford these, it’s not just lack of government dollars they worry…
