This is completely different from designing the system to perform better on a test. If you drove a Ford Eco boost exactly like the epa fuel mileage test you would get similar results.

It explicitly talks about how the first program was cancelled after the experimental phase for being too expensive and impractical, and how (unrelated) technological advances in laser technology have made it so the concept might actually be cost effective and…

Look, the whole problem with airborne frickin laser beams, it that the frickin lasers weren’t on airborne frickin sharks. What moron puts it on a plane. Fish out of water, much!?

You know where a great place to keep that bottle of water is? Easily accessible without taking your eyes off the road or bending over? In the cup holder.
