Once driverless cars have been around for long enough to no longer require a manual override option then I can see having more comfortable layouts and better entertainment options available.

As a Nissan guy, I was a little disappointed to not see it on the list given how many awards it's won over the years. On the other hand, just last month the timing chain on my 95 Maxima somehow 'slipped' (not sure how that can happen) and bent valves etc. Of course the car was only $1500 when I bought it a few years…

Perhaps I just am not frequenting forums with that type of troll, but I can't recall seeing anyone get treated differently based on gender in an online discussion for quite a while. There is certainly the odd (presumably) juvenile male that makes light sexual remarks (e.g. "your avatar is hot"), though even those are…

I agree with this so much. There are so many times that I don't want to or can't drive and so many problems caused by human drivers. I can't wait to get one. Not that I'd want to be an early adopter working out the kinks in the system.

I actually see probably one a day where I live. Mind you, I'm in Canada so it may be true in the US.

Why don't they just produce different pills for different body masses? Just slap a label on the box that says the mass range for each box (e.g. <120lbs, 121-170lbs, 171-250lbs... etc). If the only difference is the dosage then it shouldn't cost much to do this and the marketing bonus of having a pill tailored to…

So you're saying that men shouldn't try to read body language to see if a woman is interested in them. That is just plain crazy talk.

The majority of those aren't really offensive at all (with the exception of a few near the end). Are men not allowed to talk about sex?

This site along with others like it exploits our natural inclination to conform to a 'mob mentality' Its easy for a large group of people who perhaps share a common interest, in this case infidelity or friends or family who fell victim to infidelity, to gang together and bash a "symbol" of what they perceive to be the…

The Diner en Blanc in my city was a high-end catered affair. And while you had to bring your own chair, there were tables. Of course it was also $50+ to attend. Live music though.

I was thinking the same thing. I really hope so.

To be fair, the US isn't anywhere near the Kyoto targets.

Agreed. Plus it would be great to never have to drive myself through a stop-and-go commute again.

Read the comments just to make sure this was nominated.

While I personally don't really want another 2 doors, some increased space in the back so that two actual humans can use the back seat would be appreciated. That is the main thing that has stopped me from pulling the trigger on one. I have an occasional need to transport more than one passenger and the backseat is…

Having spent a small amount of time driving an FR-S, it could use a little more power, mostly in the lower RPM range. It really felt gutless below ~3500-4000RPM. Maybe I've just been driving V6s for too long.

To be fair, scientists have been trying to generate power from nuclear fusion for more than half a century now. Baby steps happen pretty regularly, but progress is slow. Many scientists guesstimate that we may have a functioning fusion reactor in the next 2-3 decades (though they have been saying this for many…

Now with video!

A family member of mine (in BC) got a ticket for this recently.

While it isn't currently used as fuel (except in fiction), it would be cool to see antimatter added to the chart. According to Wikipedia, antimatter has a value of ~9×10¹⁶ J/kg or about 90 billion MJ/kg. Of course using a $ per MJ measure it is by far the worst. One NASA estimate puts the cost at $62,500 trillion…
