I’m going to have to agree with you.

Finally, a fitting internet analogy for the day. Logging it.

Yes, who cares? You are desperately grasping at straws, creating some bizarre counter-argument that compares quantity of licensed operators, in a point which focused on the ability to manually control your preferred method of transport...you know, the latter of which actually representing what the topic is about. It’s…

You haven’t posted a question relevant to the topic. “Are licenses interchangeable?” Who cares? The relevant question, is whether or not a human can control their preferred method of travel. The answer to that is yes; by horse, train, boat, or plane, the answer remains a resounding yes. This will also be the case when…

Nope, just the obvious attempts of yours I specifically pointed out, twice. You also tried to pull a red herring— just saying.

Yikes, I didn’t think you’d literally take another swing at that strawman, after I twice explained the analogy. No...the difference in licensing requirements and your “number of people who have each” are both red herrings you keep trying to distract with. You still haven’t provided an example of your issue in reality.

So you’re the only one laughing, and the humor is just flying over everyone else’s head? However funny you think it is, you again haven’t refuted anything with substance. Dismissive, maybe, but that’s easy.

I’m not sure what’s pure comedy about it. My post relates to the current implementation of autonomous technology, and it’s usually in the commercial sectors. If that is any indication (as it is for many new technologies), then this tech will follow the same path, where business, travel, and trade can most readily take…

These aren’t really bold predictions. From airplanes, to ships, to the many computers and machines which assist in piloting them, we already heavily rely on autonomous travel and functions for a number of our biggest industries. This tech will likely first see implementation in commercial vehicles, and then…

“California, for example, has a 1-800-EXHAUST number where you can drop a dime on cars emitting visible smoke”

Along with what you’ve listed, I’d add I have zero problems with traction and launch control. I’m not a professional driver, I do make mistakes, and I need a safety net to improve. If I’m not on a course, the former can be very useful (given the established modern implementation), while launch control is cool to…

Then why are you looking at the Ford GT (assuming you were buying)?

None of those numbers says how the vehicle feels when you drive it, or how stable it feels at such speeds, among other things. For all we know, the added power may reach the exact top speed, but with more downforce, whereas in the 2005 car, you’d never want to chance it, even if you could.

It falls back on the knee-jerk response to any new tech from Jalops. It’s not about the people who always were in the habit of checking their tire pressure— TPMS is for those who don’t.

I’ve never had an issue with TPMS. I’ve only had to deal with it, after I’ve sprung a leak, thanks to construction in the local area, whereby I unfortunately discovered low pressure. That’s definitely good information and a useful set of eyes on something that matters. For swapping to my winter wheels, I either live…

My bar for their implementation, is if they’re actually used for DRLs. Style is okay, too, but redundant lighting isn’t my taste.

While I’m not super fond of them, I believe it has to do with wind noise and aero. To pull from your example, the modern LS has the door-mounted versions.

You tend to drive differently with cars like this. When driving about in normal day-to-day, it’s preferable (at least for me) to leave it in auto mode, because the car will handle most of that duty just fine. The later gears (usually the final two, these days) are for fuel savings and not performance.

Oh, ok. When you mentioned adding horsepower and such, I figured you were talking about driving and dynamics, but you really meant the interior? Interesting. Most reviews say the interior is pretty sharp, and the seats were very nice, in my experience. The lower end models don’t have the same seats, and the steering…

A recall means a manufacturer has recognized an issue and made moves to address it. My experience with Toyota and Lexus products has outdone BMW. All new, save for one used car.
