This would make a better table/spreadsheet than attempting to scroll all over the actually compare things.

Are you sure you’re looking at the non-Raptor version? Fords website says the 2024 Ranger is 75.5 wide without mirrors.

I thought that this might be hyperbole, but nope, the 2024 Ranger and 2002 Silverado are both ~79" wide without mirrors.

That would rule one out for my relatively narrow side driveway.

Deuce Bigalow “ It’s not small, it’s thin!”

Length is one important factor for a lot of people, but I’m interested in width. The 2024 Ranger is about as wide as my 2002 Silverado, and that is wider than I would want in a mid-size pickup.

The difference in window controls is that it’s an actual switch, rather than a capacitative piece of plastic that you have to look at to see how it’s set.

Hey, it’s Whole Mars Catalog everybody!

It’s straight-up illegal. You must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks — as in stopping your car. In particular, if this were a kid, you can’t predict that they won’t suddenly speed up. The purpose of yielding is that you don’t have to deal with the what ifs.

I’m riffing off something I read elsewhere but, a world where AI gets to write poetry and paint pictures all day while I get run over by autonomous vehicles on my way to a minimum wage job is not the future I was promised.

So LEASE the Ioniq 5N? check check and triple check! I can imagine this car being a collector’s item if it delivers on most of the hype

That’s the kind of thinking that the car makers want you to have. Don’t be one of the suckers born every minute.

So it’s in keeping with the ongoing trend of: bigger, taller, more expensive, more powerful, and angrier?

Don’t even need to go that far. How about, just running it through a basic filter and slapping a label on it?

I REALLY hope what they show isn’t at all like the hybrid Sequoia, which was also reviewed here and got barely better fuel economy than the older V8 that came before it. And I hope the styling is at least noticeable. I’ll probably stick with my 27 year old taco anyway.

He actually just recently had a podcast about how oligopolies create choke point capitalism, which in media means that it forces artists to follow trends like this in order for their work to reach a wider audience (guest hosted by someone who is actually well credentialed in the history of monopolies and monopoly

He provides 23 sources for his data in this video, and he actually uses that data to inform and support his premise. It’s not just some dude joking about the subject. This one could be clarified to say corporate AI right now is BS, because it’s not yet doing novel tasks. He calls out Spotify’s AI DJ that tailors

Also, what kinds of miles? Does AutoPilot work in a rainstorm? This is like when private schools brag about the achievements of their students vis-a-vis public schools, when they simply don’t accept problem students and underperforming ones.

Depends on the stats - Jalopnik had an article that broke it down to an accident rate per-miles-driven, and that implied that human drivers (despite vastly higher miles driven) were still safer.

Comedian/tv host for several years now that mainly uses odd facts as his centerpiece. He got famous with his Adam Ruins show, that would take commonly held misconceptions and then explain why they were wrong in a semi-funny way (like how the McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit is actually an example of corporate incompetence

You should take the bus, then.
