Wish it had been one of those Chargers with the multicolored flashing lights, that'd have been great.

Has the benefit of movie cred as well.

It might be damn near totaled.

Go with Mercedes’ suggestion, but repaint it to look like the Acrostar from Octopussy

So the government mandated TPMS, but didn’t require that all automakers display tire pressure at each wheel?

They were used as an alternative to airbags for a while. While airbags were becoming a standard feature, any car that didn’t have airbags had to have automatic seatbelts. I think it was mandated, but I’m not sure. Once airbags became standard, automatic seatbelts were deemed pointless.

You said “coolest”, not “realistic” or “practical”.

Turns out keeping 5 tons of metal 8,000 feet above the ground requires A LOT of energy.

This concept’s fatal flaw is that, since you already have a helicopter, why would you sleep in it instead of just flying it to the nearest 5 star hotel for the night? 

I believe it is what the kids call "irony"

You must have made some sort of mistake with that hero image. This is an article about reliable cars and there’s a picture of a Volkswagen there. Just thought I’d let you know so you can change it to a Honda or something before anyone else notices. 

It says in the manual and the screen that you’re supposed to still pay attention when using Autopilot. The road has a 25 mph speed limit, what was the driving doing that they didn’t have the time to correct Autopilot?

Who the hell uses AutoPilot in Yosemite?

Pedo

came here for this.   looks like plenty of room to react to something if you are at all paying attention

Happens all the time, especially on bottom-feeder Euro airlines serving vacation destinations. Ryanair and the like.  

Trigger warning to Tesla stans:

And mandate that in the event of misbehavior, the pilot must return to the airport of origin to disembark the passenger to the local cops there.

That’s an excellent point - narrow seats certainly justify punching a flight attendant!  The airlines only maximize the number of passengers to piss people off, anyway - it has nothing to do with profits!  I’m an American, so the Constitution guarantees my right to be too fat to fit in a seat!

I TOTALLY agree with you on flights being miserable but that is the beauty of being able to pay for a better seat...
