Does anyone that actually owns a Tesla actually drive it like a human? Even with the auto-pilot -whatever activated, your eyes should still be on the road 101% of the time to intervene in any emergency.

For every $50 fine paid, $17 goes to the city, and $33 goes to the camera company.

Damn near pornographic. i love this car

When did China ‘set up cell towers’ anywhere in the US?

Asking a fast food restaurant to cut your burger in half should be a felony.

They are actually worried that the drones could damage aircraft parked on the flightline. Langley has a lot of F-22's. Scratch the paint on one of those it’s gonna cost a few dimes...

Of course the “Androids” by White Nationalist Motors was scam. Everything about the company & Musk is scam. Why spend years on the programming for a robot when you can have an employee wear motion detectors on their wrists, hands, ankles, etc. ??? It worked in previous promotional videos after all. Why do all the resea

The Cybercab looks like they took the Model 3 and the VW XL1 and put them in a blender. It doesn’t look half bad, but it’s a terrible choice for a taxi. “Sexy little hypermiler coupe” would make for a great entry-level Tesla, which is what I bet this was. The delay in presentation was because they had to rip the

He promised autonomous full self driving “next year” back on 2016, so the 2027 promise will mark a full decade of unrealistic promises.

You know what would be that kind of a car in today’s market? Chinese EVs...

You were previously taking the soulless stucco empire of a deeply corrupt billionaire, plus its vacuous denizens and enforcers, seriously?

Conversely, I think it’s what Toyota should’ve done with the heritage 4Runner - they didn’t go far enough.

Counterpoint on the color scheme: it looks like a tacky out-of-place afterthought.

Bring it on, but if we’ve jumped from late 60's to late 70's nostalgia, Ford better have a deal hammered out with whatever private equity group that currently owns Eddie Bauer by 2026.

It’s probably also automakers lobbying to squash any changes to allow minicars because they want to keep charging more and more for their cartoonishly large vehicles, safety be damned.

I don’t see why whe can’t have a category for cars that are only allowed to travel on roads with 45 MPH and lower speed limits. That would likely cover most use cases for these mini cars, and not strand them in one particular urban location (which I think is what a 35 MPH maximum would do).

Because many Americans think that rules don’t apply to them.
Several years ago, there was a big Internet hullabaloo about “why is car [x] rated to tow in Europe but not rated to tow in the US?” The answer was that in Europe there are strict towing regulations that are followed and enforced, while in the US, people will

I don’t understand this safety regulation stuff for cars when motorcycles are completely legal...What is this safety for? It’s so backwards, trucks and SUVs should be regulated out the ass simply because they have the potential to cause more external damage than smaller cars. Is my thinking incorrect?

Because Americans, like Alton Brown, hate unitaskers. Most people should be using mini cars in places they make sense like dense urban areas, and renting a pickup from Home Depot for $25 for the 75 minutes they actually need them every other year. We should also be building out robust public transportation on the
