Just because there are options doesn’t mean people will take them. I’m not creating excuses for these people; you shouldn’t drink and drive. But it should be obvious that more options likely reduce drunk driving even more.

It’s not just a cultural problem; it’s a infrastructure problem.  Europe has way better public transit options.  That has to have a huge impact on drunk driving rates.

You actually don’t have to; most the time it’s store policy.

DADDS certainly ain’t going to be, but I guess this all hinges on what you consider “implemented” to mean. Even if some viable technology is accepted in November of 2024, that still likely means years before it ever actually appears on a single car.

Looks aside, why the heck is a Chevrolet priced so similar to it’s Cadillac brethren? If you like the looks of both of them, the Lyriq seems like such a better buy. Am I missing something? Does the Chevy come with a bigger battery than the similarly priced Lyriq?

You choose to live in a high risk state... yeah, don’t lump me into that risk pool.

I agree with your general point, but there’s a big difference when it comes to designing a vehicle to be safe for the passengers, and one that’s safe for everyone else on/near the road. Tesla is known for the first point, but they certainly aren’t known (good or bad) for the second. The Cybertruck seems to be their…

Look up nitinol.  Cool shit.

There are loads of passes and roads that mandate chains during certain times of the year. The way around often adds hours and hours of driving.

How many buses go a full 93 miles per day?  Most school buses run for an hour or two max, traveling like 40 miles total.  Then they sit for 6 hours, after which they’ll run for another hour or two and travel another 40 miles.  At which point they’ll sit for another ~12 hours.  That’s plenty of time to keep them topped…

Are you sure you know what a straw man is? The person made a claim, I’m simply asking for clarification on that claim.  That’s not a straw man at all.

Plus, tilt rotors were first tested in the ‘60s I believe.

The V-22 has as good a safety record as any other airframe in the US inventory.

Seems like a better option would be for the state to simply highly subsidize the electric versions.  If they don’t work for rural districts, they can stick with their diesel versions.  

For the second model year of the first real “production car” that Tesla made, this is damn impressive.

This all depends on the exact alloy (apparently this is specific to Tesla, so jury’s still out on that) and how you maintain it.  I work with stainless all the freakin time for it’s sanitary purposes and corrosion resistance when exposed to harsh solvents in wet environments and I’ve got 20 year old stuff that still…

Not even close.  I scoped them out when I was interested in buying a Pacifica and wanted to see if the whole “Chryslers are unreliable” thing was true.  Apparently it is for the hybrid Pacifica.  

Sounds like a god damn unicorn.  Even the Pacifica fans on Pacifica forums largely agree to stay away.

Just look at Perez.  I’m not shitting on his talent, he’s a good driver, but clearly his car got him 2nd in the championship.  No one in their right mind would say Perez is a better driver than Norris, Leclerc, Hamilton, Alonso... and yet, he secured 2nd without having a good driving season compared to his ones in the…

Where the heck are these numbers coming from? F1 hasn’t had in-race refueling since 2010, so I highly doubt that it’s worth $350k to fill a stationary car in the garage under no urgency.  That alone makes me question if these numbers are credible for anything at all.
