So you’re thinking it hasn’t changed in 12 years because you think the compact-to-midsized Alpha platform is fundamentally no different than the full-size Zeta platform? Despite the fact that the new platform was 400-700lbs lighter (depending on the models you’re comparing)? You think that kind of weight loss comes…

“Most recent statistics is about 10 deaths per 100000 citizens per year, which is 0.01%. There are about 25,000 Tesla autopilots on the road and one fatal crash, which is 0.0025%.”

“Numerous outlets have reported over 140 million miles of autopilot as of August. They’re not reporting it as speculation, so to this point…

... The Camaro is on the Alpha platform as of 2015, which has only existed since 2012.  Where is 12 years coming from? 

No companies have been “trying desperately to catch up”. *Tesla* is desperately trying to make it in the automotive industry and is losing billions of dollars a year despite government subsidies to try to gain a foothold.

Right?

A buddy of mine designed national championship winning suspension for the UMCP FSAE car back when he was 21. Other guys on that team did fabrication. Given he’s working in solidworks, it’s a safe bet he’s a talented mechanical engineering major. A lot of guys in professional racing are a lot younger than you’d think.

Ugh... This is just another reminder of why it sucks to be a DC sports fan. This is such a DC sports thing to do. Release a championship winning coach and then don’t even mention his accomplishments at a ceremony HIGHLIGHTING SAID ACCOMPLISHMENT?

Sure I can. I just did.

I brought it up because that’s the system as designed. That’s the framework around why something is or isn’t. What happens when people circumvent the designed system (and how often it happens) is an entirely different discussion, as I just said.

Please point to the quote in anything that I wrote on this article’s comment that defends any system anywhere.

I’m still not understanding how it’s any more ironic than someone using a gun to threaten someone being shot by someone holding a gun. Yes - the police officer was allowed to threaten or even shoot someone with a gun. No, in many places you’re not allowed to.

I didn’t miss it - it’s not relevant to what I’m saying (so I didn’t write it). All of the pictures are of on-duty cops. The point I’m making is that they’re permitted to do it “professionally” - as in, on the job. What people do while breaking the rules is 100% the same as someone breaking the law while speeding.

... and police can carry a gun in their car - and use physical force to arrest people. They can also drive over the speed limit, and run through red lights.

Hell, there are other people who can drive vehicles over 26,000lbs for business purposes, and even others who can drive vehicles with trailers exceeding 26,00olbs!…

I hate to be that guy, but early in the article you point out that the 1080Ti / 2080 are about $700, and why spend $300 more for a 2080Ti?

For me and my friends who play, the fact that playing more doesn’t make you inherently any better than anyone else is a perk. We don’t have tons of hours to sink into games anymore, but grew up kicking ass in shooters long ago. Once we got over the initial learning curve of this game, it’s actually great knowing we…

I dunno about that point about squads only being useful when playing with friends. Battlefield 2 was fairly slow and heavily emphasized communications via the Commo Rose. If EA could just make that more effective, anonymous squad/team play becomes WAY more viable. Having squad/team chat also enables someone to at…

It honestly has turned me off to pretty much everything post-2007. I’m just keeping my older cars running forever, I don’t care what people say. I just want a car that’s a car, not a god damned entertainment center/computing device.

See my other comment on this thread I guess... I just honestly don't want a screen I have to "navigate" in the first place. It's needless complexity.

I’ve only ever driven friends’ cars with touchscreens or rented them. Universally hated em. My old G35 had a screen that was navigated with super simple buttons that you didn’t really have to look at to use, and my legacy has no screen at all. I’ve never really cared to own a car that *needs* a touchscreen to do what…

I’m probably in the minority on this, but I frankly just don’t care that much for the sound of the majority of Ferrari V8's. The F40 is one of them. The only one that really does it for me is the F355 motor ... Good God that sounds glorious.
