we should make the cars longer but they should articulate in the middle

Others have ably beat me to this, but this is such a colossally bad take that I must pile on. If you think this is how driving through crosswalks works, please surrender your license and get re-tested.

The poster made it sound like the pedestrian entered the crosswalk when the car was already passing through, but that is clearly not the case. The pedestrian entered the crosswalk before the Tesla, so a stop is required. The Tesla blows the stop. No argument to be had.

It is state law to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk. You can tell because there’s a sign clearly visible in the video that says exactly that. The Tesla failed to yield to the pedestrian in the crosswalk, breaking the law. So it either didn’t know, or it did know and broke the law anyway. Those are the only two…

It’s straight-up illegal. You must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks — as in stopping your car. In particular, if this were a kid, you can’t predict that they won’t suddenly speed up. The purpose of yielding is that you don’t have to deal with the what ifs.

I’m riffing off something I read elsewhere but, a world where AI gets to write poetry and paint pictures all day while I get run over by autonomous vehicles on my way to a minimum wage job is not the future I was promised.

And sadly all that can be done in CAD. 

At some point no one built 20 scale A330s and 20 scale B787s to line up in various combinations at a scale model of the terminal - and those models could all be just 2D plan-view cutouts on a floor with some tape for the gate markings.

Yeah. This goes back to a scam rife in the NYPD and NYFD. They hand out placards and signage, which are often distributed and used by family/friends and even by retired officers or those not on the job. Add to that cops who won’t write tickets for these cars or cops who don’t care, and you get a crack in the system…

The NYPD are the,worst offenders for parking in bike lanes of course they let it slide

GM will include a tape deck so you can play apple music with this adapter

Well I was interested in the new GM EVs.

Jalopnik covers all areas of transportation. Boats, airplanes, air travel, motorcycles, unicycles...

This.

as always people conveniently forgetting that most of the vibrant car culture around the world are located in countries with massive public transportation infrastructure

The part of car ownership that you’re enthusiastic about is commuting?  Who hurt you?

The reason Tesla is not Level 3 is that they require the driver to constantly supervise the features. I know Musk says it will drive itself, that you can sleep or whatever, and their FSD (capable) marketing is misleading... but they put in their manual and legal disclaimers that drivers are required to supervise and…

Think Ponzi scheme for people who think they’re smarter than everyone else.

Neither does Tesla apparently.

An alternative to these rosy numbers exists. Tesla uses possibly fraudulent accounting practices to make themselves look completely differentiated in the marketplace. Elon has established a culture of fabrications and exaggerations to raise funds and boost his stock price to line his own pockets. The recent spate of…
