I think the case for an autopilot that does the freeway driving, but requires the driver do city driving (takeoffs and landings, in a sense), is great, but level 2 requires extra vigilance in a way that is unsustainable. Aircraft autopilot works really well because the variables are more predictable at cruising

Oooh, let’s trick the rich into building a rail network for public transit! They want their fancy trains to get everywhere, but they don’t want to maintain the railways forever, so they’ll need to let public transit also use them just to get them maintained.

The system is made to keep the “bad apples.” Suspensions of 5 days, inability to terminate for on-the-job actions, and defenses that ignore that an enforcer “public servant” with a gun and authority might have different standards than someone’s personal choices.

Sorry, the thinner wheels, I meant the metal face of the wheel looks like really thin metal. Looking at the light coming through the front wheel, it just looks kind of thin and chintzy, though it may not be.

And is the snorkel functional? Do the visible rivets on the plastic cladding hold anything on or do they just look more “rugged?”

or even fat involved here.

“Not a Salvaged” in that Ranger ad still leaves some less-desirable title options. Odd to put that and then later put “Clean Title.

I’m torn.

California gives us a lot of data, especially since SoCal has weather that encourages year-round motorcyclists and has significant traffic in urban areas. UT and MT might give us some useful data on what happens when the riders aren’t on their bikes all year. Will we see road rage spikes seasonally? Does California do

Much like regular aircraft, I would assume that electric aircraft separate their systems. As such, I would not expect hydraulic failure due to propulsion power failure.

Assuming that isn’t a photoshop mashup, it’s really impressive. As photoshop, it’s still pretty impressive.

I actually saw comments accusing them of bias because they weren’t covering GT7. Little do they know, Jalopnik is the top source of game coverage now.

An automobile is pretty likely to be struck by another vehicle if there is sudden power loss on the freeway.

Or, would you prefer they just focus on fixing the roadways we already have in place?

The state recently investigated building roads that could last up to 50 years, but warned that the cost of such highways could be “85% to 150% more”

Counterpoint: the modern shooter was coming to consoles regardless of Halo. Alien: Resurrection had already introduced the dual-analog controls, and people were eager to recapture the magic of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. FPS games on PC were extremely popular. What Halo did was launch a fairly polished game at the

The Gran Turismo articles are over at Jalopnik, so I guess Kotaku didn’t want to step on their automotive sister site’s toes. Oddly, I thought this was a Jalopnik article at first, since it is on their front page.

The use of lithium batteries in cell phones, cars, etc. suggests that engineers have found ways to work with lithium to ensure failure over cycles is mitigated, so I still think that concern regarding battery restarts is overblown.

A little ironic that it hung in the air the way bricks don’t after the destruction of a bridge, rather than portending demolition to build a bypass.

Was there a Vogon poetry reading aboard it?
