This movie was amazing, but Heisenburg made me puke in my mouth every time he said anything about cars.

If I sound a bit pissed, it's because I am. This movie shows what Hollywood thinks of gearheads: we're idiots. And we're not. The time has come for a movie about cars that isn't all the same tired plots, the same shitty dialog, the same stupidly overdone stunts. There was once a time when car-focused movies didn't…

So, that's why I'm pointing this out. If it's fake, fine, I can take it, I'm a big boy, doing my own taxes and all that. When I asked them about this, they said they were real "for the character" of the car in the movie. Which, sure, I get, but I think that could have been made clear in the PR. It's not like I'm…

It does have a manual! It's just automated.

He was using a 65mW from other comments/articles, but nice maths!

If you missed it yesterday Congress is ready to jump up and down on GM for how they performed. Also, they'll be looking at NHTSA.

Yeah, other commenters provided many more important details that were lacking in the article.

No, I just want that kid to get prosecuted properly. After getting more details about the laser case (which weren't included or referenced on Jalopnik, except by commenters in response to my comment), I am more understanding of this guy's harsh sentence. I absolutely want the affluenza kid to get at least the same…

Just based on the headline, I don't need to watch the video. What makes it different is that Red Bull may not dominate because they can't keep the car running.

65mW green is all I needed to know. With even half-decent optics that thing would be terrible to a pilot! Holy cow! Still not sure if I support 14 years, but I blame the "journalists" for reporting that he got 14 years for just shining a 5mW laser at some aircraft. The story is much different, but I guess it wouldn't…

Looks like a really good link, I look forward to reading it. Thanks for the info!

Okay pedobear! You hold the "laser"

Eyes are more sensitive to green light than red, that's why. It doesn't mean that at the same power green is more damaging than red, but it does look at lot brighter.

Please get off of the internet if you don't like "dumb questions." You're going to continue to be disappointed.

Do you have a link with that info? It's in contradiction to the article Jalopnik referenced but I'm more inclined to believe you due to the harsh sentence. 14 years for a 5mW just didn't make any sense to me.

Look, I'm the last person to do it. I hate "the race card." But if I'm bringing it up, it's because it's getting bad enough to bother me. I know I'm only looking at 2 incidents out of many, but the lawmakers have to look at things with a bit of a PR perspective if they want to stay in the public's good graces. To be…

Good info, thanks.

I don't think the eye's sensitivity matters, it's all about the power and concentration of the beam. Green just "looks" brighter because the eye/brain are more sensitive to it. But regardless of color, any laser you can buy in a store is limited to 5mW, even if the green ones look way brighter. The reds/blues are…

Oh, cool! It's still tough for me to believe a store-bought 5mW could have those effects though, the optics usually aren't good enough for good collimation at such big distances. But what do I know? I'll trust the pilots on this one.

You did good. I really like this fix.
