Tucker only built 51 cars before going out of business. So pretty far from mass-market.

When he started talking about how much he saves vs. gas, he stated that he saves enough there (versus his old Camry) that it’s more than his car payment each month,

Driver: “I have a dashcam...!!!”

It’s contrary to human perceptual neuroanatomy. Either a task is ‘on’ or it is ‘off’. It requires a much higher stimulus threshhold, to switch from a non-driving ‘on’ task, back to the driving ‘on’ task, when we recognize a threat, than it does to monitor the progress of that driving ‘on’ task in consciousness.

It seems like it would be more exhausting to have to “remain engaged and ready to drive!” versus just... driving.

I am an adult, but sometimes, just sometimes folks, I forget. Not all that long ago, someone hit 130mph on a BMW K11o0RS. On a frontage road. In Atlanta. I think the speed limit there was 50 mph. Not saying it was me, but...

While most partial automation systems have some safeguards in place to help ensure drivers are focused and ready, none of them meets all the pending IIHS criteria.

One thing that was an adjustment in Germany is that if there is a law, it is actually obeyed. Sign drops speed limit from grey 130 to a black 120 and everyone is going 120 or less when they get to the sign. Nobody seems to be going 122 even.

This is the correct take. In Mexico if you get pulled over for nothing, you just pay the $20 fine right there in cash and off you go. In AL, they take your car with all your stuff in it and tell you to sue to get it back.

It will be decades before AI can drive with the skill and adaptability of a competent human driver. The nuance and complexities are nearly endless, and constant high speed unpredictable changes make autonomous piloting of a commercial aircraft look easy by comparison.  

130km/h doesn’t seem all that fast after the early days of the pandemic! The Mass turnpike regularly flowed at 95mph/150kmh with the speeders doing about 110mph/180kmh+

You can do option B, just don't get in the left lane while parading it.

God, when Missouri is ahead of you in ... well anything you are seriously failing

Since when have cops ever followed precedent when it didn’t help them?

Missouri closed this loophole a few years ago. SB5 states:

Looking at the map and based upon this population count, there’s no reason the county sheriff’s office can’t handle all policing needs of this “town.”

Mayor Bryan dismissed the complaints of those who must appear in court. “Everybody’s got a story,” he said. “And 99% of them are lying.”

When the survival of a municipality depends on pilfering its own citizens through traffic stops, code violations and the like, it is a sign that it is time to fold operations become unincorporated. I’d be willing to bet the majority of the budget goes to paying salaries and there are crumbs left for anything else.

Option A: vote him out

I know about Tucker, but I’m hesitant to call them “mass market.” Same for the Tatra T87.
