Call for a taxi in SF and they simply won’t show up if they don’t feel like it. Complain to all the regulatory agencies you want.

Everyone didn’t survive prior to 2010.

And I would rather die peacefully in my sleep than from a shark attack. So what?

That is one of a functionally infinite number of possible “real world” combinations. What do you propose? Crash test every car against every other car?

The Smart offers no advantage unless you live someplace with lots of fractional parking spaces such as San Francisco. Then it’s a game-changer.

Offset crash an F-150 head-on into another F-150 and the results will be similar.

It doesn’t show “nothing.” It provides a standardized, worst-case point of comparison.

Tremendously improved.

“Could have did” what?

Musk picked the right hill to die on. He attempted to use his influence where it could have made a meaningful difference.

Funny how “traffic calming” contraptions result in anything but calmness.

For starters, calling it “wrenching.” Not in the USA. This feels very deliberately borrowed from the British.
