Because it doesn’t take taste or class to become rich. Most of the classy tasteful rich people stay under the radar so we don’t see much of them, while the tasteless and boorish ones love to parade their terrible sense of style all over the place.

The Playboy Mansion is also a complete wreck. It hasn’t been updated since the 80's and the building itself is falling apart. It requires some major reno to bring it back to life, which probably won’t happen until Hefner’s ends. The house and grounds are probably only worth around $40-50m so it is amazing they were

If you’ve ever lived in L.A. you’d know it makes sense. Don’t waste your energy trying to get your head around something rediculously irrational. The good news is that if it appreciates at the current rate of L.A. housing prices you’ll make 25 mil on it by 2018. Some people play blackjack with with $10 chips, and some

Bi-LEDs are standard, Adaptive are optional

A joke would be funny. You might look up the definition of the word “literally.” BMW made a number of changes in addition to the two you cite- which you would know if you read the information available in the link I provided.

Mid-cycle refreshes are different than new models?

There is a difference between a flat V and flat boxer. Very important vibration differences.

You have written nonsense. First you state that one will like the look even more, then you state that you will not notice the difference.

The amount of people who’ve put their cars through storefronts when they mixed up the pedals for decades before Teslas came out gives us the occam’s razor that maybe, just maybe, it’s human error because people make mistakes.

No, the car was not in autonomous mode. So it was just behaving as a normal car. If the driver would have put the car in autonomous mode and if the car would have a mode for parking then actually this accident would have never happened. It’s operator error in both cases: 1) failed to use the right pedal 2) failed to

There are many situations where you desperately need the car to move, even if the sensors could detect something in the way.

You should actually read through the entire article rather than thinking you’re so intelligent as to be the only person to have thought of a certain point or question. Your questions and the guy below you “gcodori’s” concerns are clearly addressed and answered in the article.

A persons pride and embarrassment can lead to a persons denial till death. It is most likely he made a mistake and wrecked his house and car and was too humiliated with himself to admit it and immediately pointed the finger at Tesla because they are a company and will only retaliate professionally with facts while a

Before you can actually enable Autopilot, there is a big-ass box that comes up that basically says, in the end you (the driver) are ultimately responsible for control of the vehicle. It’s right there in plain text. How much more obvious should they make it? All the words you used: ‘seem’ ‘probably’ ‘assumed’ aren’t

It doesn’t even have to be that extreme of a situation. My wife’s Subaru has collision avoidance/cruise control cameras, which maybe not as sophisticated as Tesla’s, have trouble in some of the same situations as humans. If you are driving in heavy rain, or into direct sunlight, the system will often beep and say

Nope.

No, you really didn’t read the article. Your autopilot question is very clearly and directly addressed. It could not be made any more clear.

Dude, I go WOT at least once EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. For real. I mash the gas all the fucking time. I figured that’s why it goes all the way down, so you can mash it that far. Why are you posting on Jalopnik?

When I was a kid, I wanted a pocketknife with the newest locking blade. Oooohhhhhh it was boasted as the safest knife there is, self-locking oh how could I go wrong.

A. It doesn’t have to only be a case of the driver “intentionally” wrecking his car into his own house- there are literally 10s of 1000s of examples of drivers inadvertently hitting the accelerator when they meant to hit the brake.

B. In the end, most people want to, ultimately, have control over their vehicle. The
