Yeah, hydrogen is still not a viable alternative, despite Honda and Toyota’s investment in it since 2008, when the Honda FCX Clarity was launched. As I said, we’re a couple of revolutions away from that, and they may well not happen before the holy grail of fusion reactors is reached.

First Off, Rowan Atkinson is a rather clever chap, unlike several of his characters that rely on physical comedy. I think the closest we have seen the real Rowan through his characters are the various Edmund Blackadders from Blackadder II to IV, though he is likely much less mean than them.

Yep, the betting advertisement on ESPN+ is relentless, to the point I just mute every commercial break. And they now have ESPNBet in their portal, so they can cut out some of the middle men in getting to the fans pockets. Same thing for advertisement on CNN and several other sources.

Good on Switzerland. The constant betting and gambling advertising we see in the US is really out of control, and as always it’s targeting and ruining the lives of the most vulnerable, but in the US no one would never regulate an industry that takes from the poor to give to the rich... Another wonderful ruling by the…

It’s an extremely hard problem to solve. You can make a car self-drive successfully some 99% of the time, but all the edge cases contained in the 1% that the software+hardware can’t handle are too much to be acceptable. And making the software+hardware handle those 1% of cases takes at least as much money and time as…

Got curious about what a homebuilt snowmobile would look like and even though most builders/users have received or eventually receive a Darwin award, you can always try to find some of the content they left behind before they passed, RIP...

Norris at Mercedes would be fun, but he just extended his McLaren contract till 2026. Sainz at Red Bull would also be fun, and he would probably not threaten Max’s dominance within the team (and outside of it), which I'm sure is important for Christian Horner, but where does Checo go then?

I’m starting to buy all the popcorn I can get ahold of before 2025.

Hmm, the 190 2.5 Evo II in your picture was announced to the world in 1990, and the Evo I was launched in 1989. But the 190 2.3-16 launched in 1983 would certainly fit the bill as an excellent sporty daily driver built like a tank!

Definitely Harry Metcalfe’s beautiful Jaguar XJC V12 with 5-speed manual conversion. If the mechanics were reliable, it would be simply the perfect daily driver car.

He hit a F-15 Eagle and the total damage was $62000? That was his lucky day!

First thing the driver should do with his unemployment benefits is buy those new prescription glasses he’s been putting off for the last 10 years..., or get a restraining order against using his own cell phone while at work, whichever is easier.

I just loved the futuristic simplicity of the Eunos Cosmo interior. Great match for its crazy tri-rotor engine and elegant styling.

It’s totally understandable, poor thing was not feeding properly on mowed-down pedestrians and cars-and-coffee attendees, it started to covet more difficult prey. It’s only doing what comes naturally to it...

Concept vs Reality, but I’d love to be surprised...

A thread about car doors has to feature fictional billionaire Russ Hanneman

Agreed, but when you see how much Chris Harris loves his, you know there is something there...

Same as it ever was,

Elon may have controlling rights over free AI image generators, because this is how one of them responds to a query based on your nightmare ideation.

I’m surprised the Countach windows did not make it. You only got half of the glass to open, and then it only opened half the available height, so unless you are an extremely intelligent and wealthy octopus who was able to get a driver’s license, they were completely useless.
