This criticism of Beto is exactly why I want him to win the nomination. Policy doesn’t matter. What a candidate believes in doesn’t matter. The only thing that does matter is a candidate’s ability to beat the mentally ill idiot currently in the White House. Primary whoever wins in 24 if you want to but the only thing…

Delta appears to be moving toward an all Airbus fleet. Their new A350s are amazing. I wish I had the option of flying them out of Houston - they’re my favorite US airline.
Facebook should be banned. It’s poisoning the minds of old people.
This could lead to odd situations where championship contending cars choose to pit for fresh tires if they are secure in their late race positions to go for the extra point. 20 pts is quite a large haul over a season.
For future cases, it might be a good idea to show the license plate and maybe share the identity of the idiot involved in an incident like this. People like him need to be named, shamed and set up for an internet lynching as a deterrent for future behavior. Law enforcement might also want to have a look to see if they…
It’s not even particularly advanced as cruise conrol goes these days. Mercedes and Cadillac both have systems that are generally better at doing the same things autopilot does. It took Tesla years just to get back to the same baseline as the early system they sourced from a supplier.
I agree completely, and Uber should face some type of punishment as well, especially since they disabled the emergency brakes. Also, companies should not be allowed to test autonomous vehicles on public roads.
Not in modern systems. For example in my Mercedes the car will steer and brake to a complete stop. It will change lanes and overtake if I signal it. I do need to touch the wheel every 20 seconds over 40 mph but it pretty much does everything else, I believe autopilot and supercruise are the same. None of this is…
Same thing as cruise control.
No. The cars have to have a driver ready to take control at any moment in case of an emergency. Cars without a driver able to step in are still banned from most public roads (thankfully). The driver of this car wasn’t able to take control because she was distracted (watching tv). That’s pretty clear cut manslaughter.
It is ironic that I finally cut Netflix today after 8 years of being a subscriber. The latest monthly increase drove home the fact that with the exception of Narcos, there really isn’t anything I find worthwhile with their original content and that money was better spent on a Hulu sub instead. One show isn’t worth the…
Not surprising. The “driver” of the car was allegedly too busy watching the voice on her smartphone to do her job. So called “self driving” is nothing more than a fancy way of repackaging advanced cruise control features to get a higher, purely speculative valuation for your “tech” from wall st. The liability,…
This. Let’s also not lose sight of the fact that an expansion team nobody really rated last year is well placed to make the playoffs again in its second year. Gallant and McPhee deserve enormous credit.
They’re very nice. I seriously considered a current gen one (not the plus) a couple of years ago as my weekend/fun car. I really like the V10, the interior and the styling. What swung me to a 911 GTS instead was that I could get it in RWD (the R8 RWS wasn’t out then) and that the R8 has really bad ride quality for our…
A couple of years removed I’m actually with you on that. I’m hardly a regular gamer these days but I do occasionally pick up something recommended by a friend and did that with Bloodborne on a whim. To my enormous surprise not only did I enjoy it, I actually completed it and the expansion (after embracing the…
Explains why Tesla’s head lawyer quit on such short notice. If he wants to continue to be able to run public companies, he needs to delete his twitter account or at least give control over to a PR team.
I do not think Brown is the problem. To his credit, he’s brought in more sponsors as well as a top tier designer in James Key. He’s also dialed down the arrogance that characterized McLaren in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. The problem with McLaren is its lack of manufacturer backing. To compete in F1 you need to be a…
True about Red Bull Honda but its not like their Renault engine was particularly reliable last year and they still managed to win races. The Honda definitely looks fast enough - both teams were near the top of the speed traps, something which wasn’t close to happening last year. I also think some of Honda’s…
Agreed. The midfield is so close that it’s going to be decided by in season development. My 2c on the current post 1st test pecking order (with all the caveats that comes with) would be Ferrari slightly ahead of Mercedes and Red Bull with a gap back to Renault who themselves are well clear of the midfield. It is crazy…
