That’s how the current system is supposed to be used. Fin Fang is talking about future, fully-autonomous cars, hence the future tense “will need.”

Wait, did you watch that show too? Can we be best friends?

Many modern performance cars will do 70-0 faster than that chart says it takes for 60-0 and that doesn’t include the “thinking time”.

I guarantee that car can brake down or safely maneuver from well over 100mph in almost all scenarios on dry pavement with appropriate following distance and with enough paid attention to the road ahead.

I believe the software allows the user to set Autopilot up to 5mph above the posted limit.

It is supposed to be able to do that, yes.

No joke, my boss really likes to come up with new names for the software systems we design, and I have to constantly remind him “No, we can’t do that, the acronym would be inappropriate.”

How about “if it’s not encrypted, it’s not private”? Because home invasions where your laptop/desktop/hard drives are stolen could be a very real threat to your digital security, so it is something to consider when digitizing sensitive information.

I’m sure she’ll have a blast finding a picture for this, but I won’t be suede into liking that interior.

Apparently not, but you have to wonder what goes through someone’s mind when they think “I should wear a helmet based on how I think this will go, but my girlfriend next to me doesn’t need one.”

Well there we go, perfectly understandable. Thanks!

Serious question, why two shakes? I usually stick to one firm-gripped shake, down-then-up. Done.

W8 2: Buy it! ...and wait to buy it as we try to pass emissions testing.

Oddly enough, just seeing this makes me want to drive full-speed into a wall.
