The first question worth asking when it comes to determining liability is this: “Were you in control of your vehicle at the time the incident occurred?”

I dunno, why not both?

In every one of these videos, the people would’ve been in the car in the time it takes it to do its thing.

I think we will see issues because the tech is not anywhere near ready for the prime time and it’s kinda hard to see your car clearly when you across a lot operating a phone that likely has significant delay sending commands to get the car to stop.

I mean, if your vehicle hits something while you’re using that feature, I’m going to hold you accountable.

Man...as an adjuster I can’t wait to hold some smug Model 3 summoning douche at fault for damage to property.

A half ton for sure. My brother in law pulls our boat with his f150 EB and it doesn’t break a sweat, and while its not the latest, biggest and heaviest boat out there it’s not a lightweight either. Im maxed out when I tow it around.

im not generally one to hop on the “Jalopnik hate train due to politics”, but cmon, the title of this article is literally a lie.

Either the $500M number came straight from the UAW, or this analyst used to work for the RIAA doing calculations on how much money illegal downloads were costing music labels.  One download=one lost sale.  One unbuilt car=one lost sale.  Both wrong.

The strike has cost GM output of more than 8,000 vehicles a day, according to analysts at IHS Markit. With each vehicle averaging about $8,000 in earnings before interest and taxes, and the walkout affecting nearly nine production days, GM has missed out on as much as $544 million in profit, based on calculations…

I don’t even know where to begin. “swapped pensions to 401 (k) plans for new workers - saddling workers with three percent of their health care costs”. Welcome to the real world. Do you know how many businesses out there even offer a pension and not a 401k? That’s the norm. And 3% of your Healthcare premiums? That’s…

Perhaps if this country didn’t have a completely and utterly messed up healthcare system that costs *significantly* more than any other developed nation…then employers would be far more open and willing to hire actual workers and not these ridiculous ‘temps’.

On the one hand, language is fluid.

It matters to Porsche, not to the customer. And yeah, Porsche wants to sell a high margin $180k car, not a low margin $250k car.

Telsa rolled in with a new model that is clearly superior? Where? I haven’t seen one.. (oh yeah, cause it literally doesn’t exist yet)

Production vehicle spec? (again, doesn’t exist yet, let alone what was ran no one knows the setup)

Video proof? (Hmm, doesn’t exist either)

Significantly cheaper? Like the $35k model 3 at…

Um @Porsche, this word Turbo does not mean what you think it does

UAW wages & benefits are not sustainable.

Your hypothetical situation, which doesnt exist in US auto manufacturing is not really an arguement...

Oh Id further add, that World Class ultra low co-pay health care, and in terms of GM’s case, the highest per hourly rate for workers in the manufacturing sector (sans-temps) in the world, combined with guarenteed bonuses at the rate of $1k per billion GM makes in profit for benefits sharing, and Id say your argument…

Exactly. Union workers just think that because they are in a union, they are entitled to max benefits with no effort. 90% of union workers that I know are lazy AF while on the 7:30-3:30 grind ( coffee/cigarette breaks, lunch, and gearing up, clean up time included).
