Using outdated snooty words to describe outdated snooty concepts is outdated and snooty

a system that can give very explicit task instructions to workers, with the worker following them exactly

Serious question: have you ever seen anyone under 30 (or even 40) riding a Harley.

I get that here on Jalopnik for some reason it’s de rigueur in the comments section to slam H-D as a manufacturer and slander every last HD rider but seriously guys ... give it break. Every fucking rider is a rider regardless of choice of bike. If someone is so childish that they have to slam and insult guys for their…

Hmm, I don’t know why I call those racing stripes when this is so obviously a street car

Every state should have rigorous tests every few years after 65 or 70 to keep your license 

Do you seriously think a key that can be copied with a photograph and a hand file is secure? There’s your “remote hack.”

What’s not convenient is how insecure the electronics are. All digital & other electronic ‘un’key solutions are hacks in and of themselves and simply insecure. A physical key is not going to stop working because a battery died or it got dropped in water. You can’t remotely hack a physical key and/or lock. And I can…

might as well be driving a ‘71 Eldorado

It is covered by the bumper to bumper warranty is it not?

If Cadillac is serious about staying in business they have to step up

I’ll certainly be curious as to how this plays out, but since the CUE system and interior dressage are not safety issues, the manufacturer is under no legal obligation to fix defects. Of course, this could really drag Cadillac’s reputation through the mud (as if it can get worse?) so they may end up settling out of…

I’ll live in a densely populated urban area when they pry my cold dead hands off my single family ranch style suburban house with 2-car garage, nice yards, and an in-ground swimming pool and spa. Fuck urbanism. You can feel free to live in a paper walled cracker box with no personal space amidst a hive of scum and…

these line workers are making $60-120k,

sorry ignore this, just realized I was repeating what someone else already said

The Kustom van appeal is strong with this one ... but all the defects add up, and the price doesn’t reflect its current condition. Would take a lot of effort, time, and potentially money to get this unit back to respectable and fully functional condition. Could be worth the effort at half the price, but CP as it…

Good lord, what state was that? I may need to avoid that section of the country. Seriously, isn’t that why states have State Troopers and/or Highway Patrol?

Didn’t mean to imply that anybody realistically cross-shopped Toyota and Cadillac, but I was pointing out how the bar has been raised for the concept of luxury since a mere plebeian Toyota can be had with leather everywhere and almost all the same electro-gizmos as Caddy. What I am saying hands-down is that Cadillac…

they subsidize the cost of every single ride

Your argument, like similar arguments by many many others, is akin to saying Apple is a telephony company. No. They give you the tools to perform/acquire telephone services. Uber provides the tools to allow drivers to connect with customers. Granted, Uber is a douchebag of a middleman who who may be forced to scale…
