Ragebait will definitely get you clicks, but well thought of articles can too. I remember Jalopnik used to have some really good interview articles and investigate articles. Can we get back to that? I feel like the only reason I'm still here is the comment section and it's a hot or miss if that is even working.

Former Jalop writer Jason Torchinsky had a great take on where we are with driver assistance. Which is that the current level of autonomy is far more dangerous than driving one’s self.

If a driver accelerates into a motorcyclist, killing them, they should lose their licence (pending a reasonable investigation) along with the potential for criminal prosecution. We have all the data we need from the FSD’s recordings that the software is faulty and should ‘lose its licence’, as now we have the same…

It’s simply insane that this Tesla system is legal for use on public streets. I truly feel for the family of the motorcyclist, and its pisses me off knowing that Elon will barely give it a thought and sleep just fine tonight on his mattress stuffed with all those billions of dollars.

Sadly buying a $100K look-at-me vehicle and then intentionally damaging by walking on it and throwing stuff at it has become “the most American” thing to do these days. I long for the days when people tried to cover up their stupidity.

Nah we beat up Richie Rich to get that quarter haha

How are you doing? It’s amazing. It’s so amazing. We should send you into, I’ve always said get some of these guys. I have a lot of friends in that world. I don’t know. I think, isn’t Roger Penske, like, a great guy? The guy won 20 Indianapolis 500s. This guy (pointing to Childress) wins all the time. I mean, we…

“Our budget for crash testing vehicles is limited so we try to target big sellers” is some next-level shade. 

Much as I hate to admit it, I am old enough to remember when Bill Gates and Paul Allen bought Porsche 959s. If I remember correctly, they never got off the dock because they were never crash tested among other things. 

Did something change?

I remember bubble pops on the stock market. The bad thing is that they don’t just hurt the nimrods that bought into that crap.

I can’t believe the AI grift is still so hot that it can raise stock prices while revenues and profits are tanking.

The local Tesla store uses the Mall parking lot next door for excess inventory. For the longest time there were only dozen or so vehicles parked there. In the last year the amount has grown to several hundred cars and seems to grow larger every week. Not selling like hots cakes anymore.

I long for the day when 24 hours passes without hearing about EM or DJT.

He’s just like Trump, they just make shit up on the spot and somehow millions of delusional cult members believe them.

who buys a cyber truck? who looks at the cybertruck and thinks “this is the best solution for my needs”?

It needs to be both much harder to get a driver’s license in this country and much easier to lose it.

Lot’s of people don’t have a garage.

Every single day

I would buy one of this era before the one that’s listed in this article.

I’ve always been partial to the Lexus LFA.
