Porsche made 2.7 billion Euros last year (crazy how much taxes get taken from that 7 billion operating profit, freakin Uncle...well whoever the German equivalent of uncle Sam is). Well in any case, do companies put their money in a bank to save for rainy days, like everyone and their mothers told me to do since birth?

Nascar had 30 deaths since it’s start. by the very nature of the sport, I’m surprised the plane race hadn’t had more.

“I wouldn’t call something ‘Autopilot’ if the manual explicitly says that you have to have your hands on the wheel and the eyes on the road at all times.”

Just saw one of the Gee-Bee Racers over the weekend. Demanding and deadly to fly

Great, now I still can’t afford one.

 Autopilot is a fairly generic term these days and is nothing compared to " Full Self Driving  ". Naming it Full Self Driving when it most certainly doesn't is by definition false advertising 

It would be nice if the sound designer had a better understanding of what a scramjet was. He described a ramjet reasonably well, but both ramjets and conventional turbojets have to slow the incoming air below Mach 1 for the engine to work; this limits the maximum speed they’ll propel an aircraft. A scramjet doesn’t…

I love the idea of the real sounds, but the Tomcat RWR is really obnoxious.  They should have put the better gun sounds in there though.

There is no “unlock” for Teslas. As long as the key within range of the car, you can unlock and drive. Given both cars were parked right next to each other, it’s possible both keys were within range at the same time. I highly doubt this was a case a key that was able to open both cars.

“And having little kids wait for the school bus when it’s pitch black out isn’t a great idea.”

Phone: have to be within about 5-10 feet of the car to unlock and drive away. It uses Bluetooth, so it doesn’t know on which side of the door you’re on, just that you’re near it.

I’m going to take this story with a grain of salt.

I accidentally drove the wrong car once. My wife screamed the entire way home. It was only after I pulled in to the garage that I realized I wasn’t married.

Members of my local Corvair club routinely tested their keys in each other’s cars and convinced themselves that Chevy only made eight different key patterns and distributed them randomly throughout the country

1. This is absurd this is possible. Tesla’s app coding must be absolute garbage.

Most importantly is that these new powertrains won’t rely on heavy rear earth metals in their construction.

The math is mostly right, but there’s a lot of funny stuff that goes into statistics like this. You’ve rounded down, but it is 1.57 crashes per person. When extrapolating data like this, it is best not to round, since none of it actually applies to an individual directly. Next, a certain percentage of drivers will…

I just drove around the Portland area after the snow storm and saw 2 crashes during a 10 mile round trip for shopping.  Over 1/2 of my co-workers have been in an accident in the last 5 years when you count hitting deer, stationary objects, and other cars.  I know for a fact that none of them were reported to the…

A few years ago people were saying the same thing about computers making art, and yet here we are.

(1-0.99999819 crashes/mile)*(553000 miles)= 1.o009 crashes ... so the average American “crashes” once per 553k miles?
