If you’re also South African, point proven!

This is like the old this is your brain on drugs commercials but instead of an egg, they use a puppy and just smash the ever loving heck out of its cute face in HD, super slow motion and you’re like, “I’m not even messing with Asprin, man!”

I’m just saying it’s not about being connected, for good or bad. It’s about developing the technology that will be present in cars in the future. That’s all.

When this becomes something we need to fear as evidenced by actual threat, and not just an imagined one, we can deal with that. Halting progress for fear of exposing new weaknesses is a recipe for disaster.

I would have agreed with you, once.

It’s your opinion and you’re welcome to it.

It’s interesting that I don’t disagree with you, however; recognize the purpose and/or placement of this technology as a stepping stone towards fully drive by wire cars.

Folks already asking ‘why bother?’ Watch this video.

You should really watch Jason Camissa review this car for MT on YouTube as he explains exactly what they’re thinking.

That’s kind of my point. I have to imagine that, even if they start similarly priced, a similarly optioned Porsche is going to far exceed the sticker on the Tesla. They may get cross-shopped in terms of being luxury electrics but beyond that I tend to feel like they won’t be direct competitors.

I feel like Porsche is trying to drum up controversy where there is none. I feel like Porsche is trying to create a false sense of competition when, likely, these two products won’t be direct competitors outside of having electric power plants.

When Dan Greenawalt discussed something similar in regard to Forza, a previous iteration I believe and possibly on some peripheral media like a podcast or something (it escapes me) wherein a graduate system would be in place meaning that experienced players (this was between versions, I recall now) who’d achieved a…

If I’m operating my vehicle and through my actions, it gets damaged... I’ll eat the expense. Maybe insurance will help, but that’s life.

Crack Pipe if only because the unmolested one pictured below lives near me and I want it.

I do like that he used the approved technique for extracting a hesitant canine from a sinking or submerged vehicle.

... on the wrong side of the car.

Well, I mean it fits...

I drove this for hours, or at least as close to driving something like this as someone like me is likely to get, and let me just say, I’m not surprised one little bit.

On the up side, it looks like in one hundred or so years BMW hopes society will have fully embraced its drivers complete and utter disregard for for indicating turns and/or lane changes having more or less skipped over that part of the design.
