That’s not a car, that’s a robot beaver with its internal organs replaced with chairs.

That’s different, isn’t it? Industrial equipment is usually part of a closed system with fewer hazards to design safety systems for, so EVERY incident that could have been prevented with better engineering controls is considered a design failure. Fatal car accidents, at least for the time being, are unavoidable, so if…

People seem to be able to get in fatal distracted driving accidents just fine without Autopilot. Shouldn’t that factor into whether to release it, too?

No, the Willys IS his wife.

No, Uber Thug is different. It’s restricted to “menacing” cars and you can pay extra to have the driver walk you to the door carrying a baseball bat.

Like... like the screwdrivers?

It looks like the skirts can turn with the wheels.

They have those already. They run off overhead lines like streetcars or trains, and some have batteries or engines for off-line power.

And they missed the chance to call it Passporsche. That’s shameful.

Considering how many awesome cabover trucks there are, I feel like they missed a chance to be the same practical shape as NASA’s concept without losing design points. Example: this kickass Tatra

Because they’re built from generic truck platforms. You’d need a custom fancy frame to go lower compared to a flat ladder frame.

Isn’t it pronounced “porsh” in English? Sort of like how “bruschetta” is different in English and Italian.

I’d buy that just for the column shift.

Thick A-pillars aren't so bad if you can see through them. (2001 Volvo SCC)

Nonsense, who wouldn't want a missile switch for their car?

The pressure inside an airplane is maintained at 8000 ft (750mbar), but the pressure at cruise altitude is more like 300mbar. So every flight the whole airplane gets squeezed from the inside out by 500mbar of pressure (= 50kPa \ 7.5psi).

You just can't get that kind of power off a 120V plug. The best we're talking is maybe 50% overnight. If you can't get your landlord to hook you up a 240V plug (i.e. a regular electric oven/dryer/etc. plug) or let you have a charging station installed, then you're simply out of luck.

Hand size doesn't differ too much between sexes. (The distance between medians is about 3/4in | 20mm.) The issue is one-handed usability, which is generally a problem on Android regardless of your sex or hand size.

Why would they want to make a RWD platform? The kind of people that want a rear-drive Volvo are, sadly, too few in number to make this worthwhile, especially when the previous R-series models were all AWD anyway

The general concept of a parallel-electric hybrid was about as advanced as you could get in the late 90s when they first came out, and most of the design is pretty easy to base it off a regular powertrain. These days, you could design a better hybrid by basing the design off an electric and swapping a generator in for…
