And I just don’t consider a stick shift shoehorned into an otherwise heavy, numb modern commuter car to be any kind of “connected” experience. Oh boy, I can row my own in a bloated blimp of a crossover or “midsize” sedan that is as large as a full size sedan was 15-20 years ago. It’s not really fun.

About time, first time I saw a Cullinan I thought it was simply an old Expedition with a fake Rolls Royce grille tacked on, was surprised when got close enough that, no, it really was an actual Cullinan. This rebranding will fix everything.

Forget the subscription service.  I’d never get that far.  I have the gift of sight.  Look at the fucking thing.  It’s a styling apocalypse.  If you buy that, with or without a subscription feature service you need to get your eyes checked and your head examined.

I think they made turn signals a subscription service a long time ago. Seems to be going ok.

The BMW Subscription Service is approved. The system goes on-line August 4th, 2021. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. BMW Subscription Service begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. The BMW…

According to survey, it’s owners of Teslas that hate Tesla

Star for H-D Rascal Scooters. And they should make them with loud pipes. Because pipes save lives are better for the hard-of-hearing.

Most jurisdictions consider the obstruction of traffic an illegal activity and have developed rules to prosecute those who block, obstruct, impede, or otherwise interfere with the normal flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic upon a public street or highway.
GET OFF THE DAMN ROAD.

You can’t be serious.  You are comparing the Chinese crackdown on protesters to what is happening now?  What an utter and complete lack of understanding.  You REALLY have to check your history before making idiotic comparisons like this.  As long as people THINK these are comparable events, we will NEVER make the…

You are literally correct, which is the best kind of correct.

Perhaps the grille is meant for coupling to other 4-series for longer journeys.

Well, in that case, I’ll just presume there was brownie points or job preservation involved and you actually hate it like the majority of us.

You probably should have filed this one to the Hot Takes Department, Justin.

Neural nets turn out to be very easily fooled:

Crew Dragon this is Houston.

Airbags are not supposed to go off unless the crash severity is bad enough to warrant it. The windshield didn’t even get smashed in from this impact, only the front empty frunk crumple zone got bent up.

Obviously it would be best if Autopilot could completely stop the car in time, but adaptive cruise systems tend to struggle the most with stationary objects because the programming is to ignore most stationary objects as background objects (overpasses, signs, etc.)

Enough. The FTC needs to sue Tesla for false advertising over the term “Autopilot,” no matter how many disclaimers they put on paper.

What movie has one go through the frame rails?

The airbag didn’t go off because even the car thought the driver is a moron. It just wanted to teach the driver a lesson. Nothing feels more refreshing than hitting your melon against the steering wheel.
