Agreed, but I think it’s also because they will likely easily turn you away of you want some truly god awful spec, at least when you are buying new. Also apparently not

that’s why you combine the data from multiple services, then parse the data to find discrepancies between the various mapping services, GPS, state DOT’s and the federal government, the data is there. I did get hit my that difference heading to Louisiana, got on an interstate, no speed limit sign, so I go ok were in…

if you combined the data from Google, Apple, Waze, and other GPS companies, then parsed them maybe with AI to check for conflicts it should be fairly simple. We work with a company that does AI and OCR comparisons for legal documents, for real estate, and then passes conflict to actual people.  They currently index…

You are acting like determining the limits on a given road is hard, it’s really not, heck I would bet you could give me any address in the US and I could correctly guess the speed limit 75% of the time. Now the REST of the program yeah that’s going to be hard. Besides that Google, Apple, other GPS services already…

Don’t know, maybe farmed quartz costs more per unit than mined.  I would think since you are creating it in a lab that you could essentially make each crystal “perfect” which I would assume would perform better in a semiconductor.

“ Who maintains that database?”

Good, I generally dislike the idea speed limiters in the first place, or at least ones you can’t disable.  There are plenty of areas where the normal flow of traffic is above the posted limit, in those situations driving the limit is actually MORE dangerous than going with the flow. In Houston, inside the loop 55mph…

Nah this is an armored, like actually armored, VIP personnel carrier, it’s a safety measure to prevent things like explosives being shoved up there.

LOL touche.

100% this, there was normally a sign there anyway to he would have hit that instead.

As engineer said, it’s not uncommon, especially in big highway/freeway interchanges.

You are probably right, tbh I never really looked at them, out of my price range, thought I liked the 4C, I like seemingly every one else in the US heard about them being unreliable and then just parrot it lol. That said shaking a reputation, earned or not, is hard to shake. I think is we had not had those truly…

Exactly because their hybrid systems allow them to generate power that feels much more like an NA engine, pretty much eliminating turbo lag, and depending on the set up, many function with motors on the front wheels as well, giving the cars all wheel drive that lets them pot more power down.  Not only that they can do…

I think the problem is Alfa has a reputation, earned or not, that turns off a lot of potential buyers.  They may be better now than in the past, but much like the shit diesel cars the US had in the 70's it just kind of ruined diesel cars for the future.

Right, and even if you did, it would perform worse. Pretty much every hybrid super/hyper car is using the hybrid drive train for some small EV only range, and for torque fill at speed. So getting rid of the torque fill just to shave weight would just give you less performance than you already had.

GMA T.50 has entered the chat lol.

Misleading headline because TECHINCALLY you are getting a bit of premium, it’s just that the amount is so little that it doesn’t matter. But it doesn’t mean you aren’t getting any lol.

lol well to be fair there IS construction going on so the normal 2 lane road is down to one. And they did happen to widen the sidewalks, but I just found it funny.

Funny speaking of driving on the sidewalk, I literally saw the mail man doing that yesterday.

I suspect it could get shipped ground freight straight to your door.
