I just assumed Tudor meant it was approved by Queen Elizabeth.

Holy buckets! Nice to see a somewhat progressive ad way back then! Businesswoman buying a car? That's a foreign concept to today's salesmen.

Indeed. WTF? "No, don't land here in open space, away from cars and everything else - shoehorn that thing in between the cars, with the wires on your approach!"

Indeed - amateur pilot, likely a rental service. There was a pole not 100m to the left of the pilot, who could have predicted that it had wires?

"Sad day - BUY MY BOOK!"

In the interest of equal time:

Ford advertising can be contacted at:

I just wrote to them at their website and suggested they offer a link to charities that benefit communities destroyed by the storms they exploit.

Thanks! These guys just infuriate me. As someone who grew up in the midwest, and had several communities around me destroyed by tornadoes, I'm physically disgusted that opportunistic, overcompensating asshats like these get to feel EXTREME, and profit from documenting our pain. Well, not even our pain - just the…

Hunting a tornado in flip-flops.

Exactly. Because, you know, the national weather service has no other way of knowing.

"A robust set of bumpers are connected to a roof rack/roof armor via tube steel shafts that form limb risers. In this context, that's more to protect wind-propelled objects flying out of nowhere"

That's the least of 66's worries. That road sucks. And why DC has only one major road going west is beyond me.

Oh, they'll definitely need to sense their environments, but two autonomous cars can talk to each other, and one can "say" "you turn in front of me, I'll slow slightly and pass behind you after you turn." A human driver needs traffic lights or stop signs to coordinate, and even then isn't always so good at it: they go…

The tricky part is the mixed equipage environment in the middle-term (or long-term and "always", given that enthusiasts will almost certainly want to manually drive cars because it's enjoyable). The negotiated speed/route/right-of-way, self-separated traffic world we've described here can't exist with human-driven…

I see one pic. And not a great one.

Check out those pizza cutters!

The technology exists for cars to self-separate, and essentially one-for-one through the intersection, nearly at speed. If everyone was going straight through an intersection, they could essentially perform a little Shriner's routine, and all go through with minimal change in speed (except as adjusted to minimize…
