The interesting this is that to me, automotive guidance systems will eventually need to leapfrog aviation to some degree.  Aviation is a fairly well constrained environment, all things taken into account.  Sure, you have wide open area in the sky, but it’s pretty highly regulated and you are constantly broadcasting…

I really like what Indian has done with their bikes since the latest reboot.  I’m a cruiser guy, so if I was ever looking to replace my Magna I think an Indian might be up on the list.

You are going to have hubs of fast charge locations eventually, if you want to think of them as battery gas stations then that’s fine, but if every vehicle on the road is a BEV you are going to have a huge drain on the local grid at some point as that is a huge amount of energy to be generating, even if it’s not all…

Honestly, I’d love to live on a racetrack for one weekend a year.  Isn’t living next to a stadium loud enough anyway on a regular basis?

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to take a vacation for a weekend and AirBnB your house near the stadium for $1000+ a night.

And you realize that there are more vehicles that have been built than just the Mirai right? You keep saying the powertrain is “huge”, but that’s a single car on sale today. GM has been putting fuel cells in vehicles for 40+ years and some of their concepts today aren’t really any different than the ICE version of the…

So here’s an interesting question.  Obama targeted fuel economy, but sounds like Trump is targeting actual emissions.  While the two are linked to some degree, I feel like Trump actually has some point in rolling back economy standards.  Everyone is in a hissy about those numbers getting worse, and fairly to some…

Right, but that’s not my point.  I know a battery vehicle has more performance, which is why I think you would still want one in a hydrogen car.  The fuel cell would just cover the average power usage of the vehicle, like highway cruising or running accessories or something like that.  It would effectively be a range…

I’ve been through the GM fuel cell plant, so I know how big the cells themselves are, and it’s really not that much. Then again those cells are only good for around 20 kW, which is fine for average power draw and maybe even stuff like highway driving, but that’s why I was saying you put a battery in there for peak…

I like how the pick stats based on one event in time.  Though honestly, there are enough players and stats in that game that I don’t blame them and I kinda think it’s fun in a way.

Had a 2000 XKR.  Really nice car in ways, but bored me to daily drive.  It’s very nice looking (to my eye at least), super comfortable, has all the features I’ve never had (I drive old manual everything sports cars typically), and the best stereo I’ve heard in a car.  But the automatic and quietness of it was just so…

True I suppose.  I’d be curious to know how that would compare to hundred of thousands of miles of driving though.  Rocket launches and landings for sure are much higher loadings, but for much less time.  Maybe more prescribed loads too, but possibly not.

I meant more the pedestrians not paying attention, but yeah, that could be the case with drivers too.  And to my knowledge driving with headphone is illegal most places I’ve heard of.

I have a sneaking suspicion this is blown out of proportion just a little. I would bet the search algorithm is just seeing text in a picture and doing auto picture to text. I’m not sure about the tagging part, but I would guess if you take a picture of a license plate not on a car or just a post it note with a license…

I don’t know that I think pure hydrogen fuel cell is the future, but a fuel cell BEV makes sense.  The battery can help to provide high demand power when needed and the fuel cell can cover most of the regular use.  Kinda like a gas hybrid today where the ICE helps with peak loads while the electric system takes most…

The increase in pedestrian and cyclist fatalities could also potentially be attributed to the increasing popularity of SUVs and CUVs,

The name just reminds me of my dad’s old Stealth that he finally sold with 355,000+ on the odometer.  Makes me wish someone did a modern take on that to see what it might look like.  I guess the car really isn’t all that old though.  Not that the Supra was dinosaur either, but the name has been around longer if you go…

I think I would give something like this a pass. The main reason being that if they are actually filming vehicles at speed...

Didn’t watch the video, but does he show himself by any chance? I would also potentially argue that if he was the one posting it to his Facebook and may have made some statement about what the video was about, that would be admission.

Having driven with people that treat some roads as race tracks, what most seem to forget is that a race track is very wide and you can use all of it for corners. On a real road you are limited to a lane. When you restrict a vehicle to staying within a 12 ft lane or something like that, it does help to reign in some of…
