Is it weird that i now want headlights projecting a giant spider onto the road ahead?

Yep.True autonomy -with the sensors they are using- is near impossible .
Adding micro beacons to the bikes or similar tech would allow cars to pinpoint you with a workable level of reliability.

TL/DR It will come eventually,just not how they’re predicting.Hang in there

I’ve always hated this aspect of cars!! Early in my life i met the best designed machines maybe ever and it’s colored my attitude to design.
Or more correctly bad design -see below.

I do get it though.When almost all the manufacturers are doing it to some extent it’s hard to go it alone.Why overspend on development

Dare i say it, this is the perfect situation for some gratuitous police violence.

I’m shocked when some mention a car’s whole door frame can freeze up. Being from a warm climate i’d never heard of such things.

Hey,you’re already an expert at fixing things in shitty difficult conditions.You’ll love life on the road!😅

THIS.
As much as i like to see assholes banned from planes, this should NOT be an asshole grade offense anymore!
Let the unvaccinated take their risks.The end

I came here to say something very similar.I’m for *some of the things these guys are demanding yet even i hate them for blocking the roads.Whether it’s left wing assholes or right wing crazys, there are no excuses for making others people’s lives worse!!

*as usual it gets complicated because dumbf*** conspiracy nuts

Man,that’s especially bad.
Pity because there are some good elements there.This kind of thing especially frustrates me because while making something great is hard,making something not ugly is easy.

I want to like the StepWGN but it looks awkward in places.
It’s probably not helped by the lens distortion making the back wheel much smaller in the profile view

If only it were that simple in my country.This is one of those situations where america really has it right

What a strange circumstance.
We’re clamping down on tesla for allowing rolling stops which are (mostly) harmless and a dumb law.
Yet we allow them to use FSD which makes tons of dangerous mistakes.

It’s not a big deal,because it’s not dangerous. Of course they had to fix this so they dont look bad,and that’s the correct answer.
But lets not panic about it.Some laws are too stupid to be respected

That hybrid fire rate is surprising.
But much more so to me is the EV rate at sixty times less than ICE.That’s a staggering figure.
Obviously the EV=fire joke wont work anymore!

Looks like the pro-tesla crowd are being dumber than usual about this one

Every time i see the Figaro i cant help thinking it’s considering suicide. It lives one utterly defeated day at a time, too scared to imagine a better tomorrow.

I dont hate it though.This is probably surprising to anyone who’s read my scathing commentary on cars that have dumb design faults (which happens often!).Ho

That’s an interesting situation with such a heavy bike.
If the bike topples ,the rider has to actively move against the fall to avoid being thrown through those useless looking wires.
I want to see the locals doing it.They proabaly dont even put their feet down

I want to make a joke about tesla being seat nazis but honestly, who spends more than a few seconds adjusting the seat??
This might be a small but useful contributer in getting bad drivers off the roads 😄

That second part is hilarious and amazing

I’m curious to find out the exact details of this disaster.
It sounds like he got hit from both sides- a mechanic recommending longer intervals and an engine that has little leeway for error.

I include that second part because i’ve never seen an engine that cant go 50% longer than it’s recommended oil change interval.
