You’re right, but please don’t use “aspie” as a derogatory term. People with aspergers are probably less likely to want to scam other people than the population at large. And, no, Musk doesn’t have Aspergers.

They probably could have made the engineering work,

Exactly. A closed loop of their own design, and their hardware/software couldn’t even do that.
They then attempted the side“rails” with rollers attached to the front wheels, but even that failed:

When I see curves like that, they’re usually on powerboats. And I always think “where would water/soda/coffee end up if you spill something?”.

They even tried to put a frame with wheels on it to hit some barriers to make it steer. It was so bad that that was the end of even attempted “self driving” in these tunnels.

The Las Vegas loop is not part of the hyperloop, although Musk at one time claimed it was built to hyperloop spec.

Why do you think this is the end state if there are no V8s? Do you seriously think that if it were not for V8s, every car would look like this?

I absolutely agree about the NYPD. They are the officers that made me notice and realise the incompetence after a new years eve there.

I’ve never seen police officers more incompetent and wasteful of resources than in big cities in the US. More interested in demanding “respect” than doing their job, and always standing around in groups talking when they’re supposed to do crowd control. Not one iota of strategy.

It’s a kit “indycar” with some front fenders from a 911 welded to a pill-shaped box.

It’s in “poor taste”? It’s a coincidence, written sarcastically as if there some symbolism in that.. I don’t get your objection.

One shunt from the back and he’s either dead or paralysed. Or beheaded if it’s hard enough.

What do you mean? Are you claiming that Russia did not invade Ukraine?

Same piggy little eyes.

Musk did make sure Ukraine couldn’t counter attack Russia, though, by cutting the Starlink connection they relied on.

Good luck with that with mine. Both my two passports and driver’s license somehow managed to make my face completely white, washing out any features. And somehow, they are all accepted as photo ID and for travelling. It could be any man. I mean, you don’t even get an incling of age from it.

Wrong article?

“ARC said”. That’s not the NHTSA saying that.

What in the third circle of dueling banjo monkey hell was that sentence even supposed to mean?

Yup, good for me. I like having and living by principles.
