Neutral: Rich, obnoxious white men typically get what they want in America.

Guaranteed it’s a non turbo variant of the 3.5L V6 paired with hybrid systems. Which means I don’t think 400hp is going to be the number. Probably mid to low 300s. Torque should be good though, with the electric assist. I don’t think this truck is going to be about power numbers, it’s going to be about MPG above all.

Somebody let grandpa on the computer again.

it’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the sudden stop

There’s a lot of people who think that because I’m overtly car-maniacal, I’ll go along with whatever anti-bike nonsense they’re going to parrot. Second to cars, my favorite transport method is cycling.

Yeah... I’m gonna go ahead and say the 5 seconds lost to human reaction time isn’t going to solve this:

As pointed out this study has numerous flaws, notably that chauffeurs are no better than anyone else at maximizing road efficiency or improve on safety.

It’s almost like you have no idea how much government spending and auto industry lobbying shaped the “market” for your mythically practical consumers.

The market also leads to endless traffic jams and global warming.  Roads are a socialist construct to begin with. 

The efficiency gains, absent any regulation or incentives, mostly just mean people use their cars more. We’re talking about accommodating more traffic on the same road. As mentioned in the article, this can be done by packing cars in more efficiently or by increasing the capacity of the road. The latter solution…

I’m glad someone’s trying to put numbers to this. It’s just obvious IMHO. I hadn’t even considered the zombie rides but if you don’t have to actually drive the car, your tolerance for being in it (where you’re now able to do other things) is likely to increase and so will your miles driven.

Plenty of us are “anti-car” in the fact that we don’t think that cars belong in congested cities and whatnot. I own a car so that I can enjoy driving when I go out in the countryside, not so I can sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 3 hours, twice a day, 5 days a week.  

No, most cities are not designed for cars.

It’s true. Even as a car enthusiast, I can see how cars don’t really belong in Cities. 

Well they aren’t wrong...

Driving manuals makes this a lot more intuitive.  If you’re at 3-4k RPM and take your foot all the way off the gas it will rapidly slow down as well.  I think the adjustment from dailying a manual to an EV with regen is more natural, as EVs behave in many ways like a manual always at a fairly high RPM.

I think that in the vast majority of cases, these are not people intentionally falling asleep after engaging autopilot. But it really just exposes a fundamental flaw of anything less than level 5 autonomy- human drivers are terrible at paying attention and remaining awake unless they have a continuous task to…

Fuck the GOP. Fuck every single one of them.

It’s not for the sake of being weird.
