Ah, but you forget that most people don’t know that.

It is user error, but that most certainly does not absolve Tesla of publicly releasing an easy to defeat monitoring system.  User error is not an excuse that any other auto makers gets to use when their cars kill people, so Tesla does not get an exception. 

Correct. The operator is mistaking something called ‘auto pilot’ for something that automatically pilots the car.

Neutral:

Why do we continue this stupid USA vs Europe comparison like it makes sense. Euro regulations do not translate to the United States in every cirucmstance.

Can we talk about the Sport Line package that europe is getting that we aren’t?

The Corvette kept its composure even with mid-corner gear changes, so smooth were the shifts that they surely must have been lubricated by purist tears.

Similarly, a female friend was horrified when I explained the dish-like area in the portable toilet was not a purse holder. Not old, just a bit naive.

In many respects this shows exactly why sedans are dying. This Camry is a perfectly good car for 90% of the US population needs. You can get anywhere you need to go, carry everything you need to carry, etc with a Camry AWD. And it will do it inoffensively for an offensive amount of time.

I think I remember reading somewhere that the import of Holden vehicles to the USA was purely out of contractual obligation to their Australian operations. GM wasn’t completely interested in importing, re-badging and federalizing Australian-built cars, so they did minimal to no advertising.

But, they’re going to ban dino juice, so all their other sins are forgiven.

Singapore doesn’t have poor people? woah woah woah woah woah. Yeah, the US wouldn’t have poor people either if we went around an executed all of them and our happiness would be better if all our statistics were government owned, run, and manipulated.

GM is actually pulling out of Australia entirely according to other articles. Building RHD variants for a small region apparently isn’t worth it financially.

“GM’s official statement announcing the shut down of Holden basically points the finger at globalization and the company’s own insatiable thirst for fat margins and big profits”

Is it bad that I’m more curious about the machine that can measure than power than the one that creates it?

Looking at Cadillac’s history over the last ten or so years, their design team would create an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous concept off the C8, generate a shit ton of positive press, have people clamoring for Cadillac to build it, and then put a face-lifted XT4 into production instead.

My question is... is it really a hill worth dying on, and does it reflect people’s opinion of the president more than people’s opinion of the plane?

The question is... if a popular democrat party president were suggesting this very same livery, would ANYONE be complaining about it?

I cant believe you wrote all those words to bitch about Airforce One being painted red white and blue.  I’m honestly amazed.  Golf clap for you.  I needed the chuckle after a full work day.

There is a point at which “hike the premiums” becomes “can’t afford insurance, drives anyway”. Because for many people driving is required. And the cost of app-taxis is prohibitive for most.  And public transit is often not available.
