If you look at Vance prior to being pulled into Trump orbit, he made sensible statements and was vocal about the dangers Trump posed. It’s this version of Republicans that has morphed into White Nationalist, strangely isolationist that has upended sense.

That is an EXTREMELY low bar you set there.

“Members of his transition team have apparently told advisors they plan to make a federal framework for self-driving cars one of the Department of Transportation’s priorities.”

Unfortunately they’ll kill a lot of the rest of us along the way.

How much do you bet these new self-driving regulations will somehow absolve the manufacturer of the legal liability of running these cars. The insurance industry may be the last hope of American children, pets, and even adults from being run over by Cyber(death)Cabs.

Yup! I’m fortunate to be fairly comfortable and plan to curtail my spending to only the very necessary items for the next few years. Let the tariffs hit everyone that voted for the Orange one; it can be their problem. If the economy follows into a slowdown or recession; gosh, don’t expect me to be heartbroken to see…

1st gear: as much as I hope for few to none pedestrian injuries/deaths, I can’t say the same thing about fiery crashes and demises of Tesla bros who foolishly go for trusting their vehicle’s demonstrably broken software. Let ‘em crash and burn.

Let’s see what happened when they raised the tariffs on Chinese steel a few years ago. Domestic steel also raised its price to within a few cents per ton of Chinese Steel. Not only did the cost of building with structural steel framing skyrocket, so did the price of pretty much every good manufactured with steel.

How much do you bet these new self-driving regulations will somehow absolve the manufacturer of the legal liability of running these cars. The insurance industry may be the last hope of American children, pets, and even adults from being run over by Cyber(death)Cabs.

But then we end up with JD Vance, who seems actually smart/competent.

Republican Representatives Sam Graves of Missouri and Garret Graves of Louisiana have also been considered to lead the department, the people said.

Trump Does Tesla A Favor, Plans To Make It Easier For Self-Driving Cars To Hit The Pedestrians

1st gear: So in other words, we can add “driving/walking” to the list of things that will kill us all in 2025 along with “eating food,” “drinking water,” and “going anywhere expecting not to be shot or infected with a deadly virus.”

Bring on the tariffs!  It’s what people voted for, so let them have it.  Really have it.

All of a sudden? Hating Elon is not new. He’s been an embarrassing imbecil since at least the cave submarine incident. 

He always claims 2 years because it's to pump the real product, TSLA stock.

Can someone do the math and let me know how long it will take for every existing Tesla driver to snuff himself out?

Smart/Safe cars tend to attract Stupid/Unsafe drivers that can be more stupid and unsafe thanks to modern technology. Yay...

Similarly, it’s not bringing back a model but bringing back a model name on a new product. Chrysler missed the boat by not offering a sub-compact CUV back when the Encore and Trax demonstrated the interest in that niche. They should take the Fiat 500L platform, square up the styling for American tastes, and provide…

Anyone who thinks unrealistic timelines are an effective motivation tool deserves to fail.
