As someone with an ABS/Traction Control/Stability Control systems/Vehicle network background I could see how this could happen. The major issue here seems to be wheel speed/steering angle/yaw rate correlation. The ABS module constantly cross checks these three things to make sure they all work and they all agree. They…

Traction control is often too aggressive when trying to take off in slippery conditions. Spinning wheels don’t have much traction, but wheels that the computer won’t even allow to turn have even less.

I live in Phoenix and sort of keep an eye on Waymo. If you look at all the hardware on those cars and check out the videos detailing the computer processing the car’s movements, a camera only Tesla has zero chance of ever being fully autonomous.

this is not like the expensive college thing at all. nobody is going to think a mitsubishi is suddenly a great car because a dealership in pennsylvania is asking a lot more money for it. these prices are entirely a function of inflation and reduced supply and covid psychosis. but i do suspect that the dealership…

The way this guy thinks the world works, we’d see massive inflation at the beginning of every year after millions get their bonuses for the previous year, or after tax returns.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the world couldn’t possibly revolve around bullshit despite the entirety of human history

Send out checks to everyone—more money supply—so there’s less value. And we get inflation—only an idiot couldn’t see that effect coming.

Why even have driving tests, then? Fail them and let them try again after improvements have been made.

If you have a learners permit you can’t drive unsupervised.  Seems like a horrible standard for “full self driving”

I think we should strongly consider “would immediately end a driving test” as a valid criteria to stop a public beta of any self-driving system. Until it can complete (and pass) a basic driving test, we should probably limit test vehicles to people hired and trained to properly monitor and control the vehicle.

I just bought a GR86. I built it online in November, the local dealer called the next day about getting me on the first allocation Dec. 1, they ordered what I wanted, told me 12-16 weeks, and it got here in 6. Including a 20-minute drive or so, the whole buying process was 1.5 hrs. No markups, just some minor…

GTFO douchebag

They did what most fire departments do. Spend a shit ton of tax payer money for toys they never use and don’t need. Then they replace them at low miles rinse and repeat. (I sat on the board of a fire department for a couple years and saw it first hand).

I roll with Cars & Bids.

Did you forget the /s tag?

Imagine lecturing someone about causation vs correlation whilst at the same time having such low reading comprehension skills. 

DO NOT DRIVE AROUND A RAILWAY CROSSING’S BARRIERS WHEN THEY’RE DOWN, THAT MEANS A TRAIN IS COMING.

They have level crossings for high speed rail all across Europe and don’t have near the problems we have in ‘Murica.

Regarding your third point: he’s a YouTuber. He probably records every trip to the bathroom in case he has an interesting turd and wants to be able to post a replay of the exact moment he created his masterpiece.
