Agree. I couldn’t get on board with a lot of the humor and left the theater somewhat bored. It seemed like it was trying too hard, or something. Maybe if I read the comics it would have been better.

The real question is do they come with cool wheel bags with RS logos on them?

As another TDI owner I just wish they would fix the problem or do the buyback or do whatever damn solution they are going to do sooner rather than later. I hate this waiting and not knowing what the eventual outcome will be.

They don’t care about the data, they care about forcing tech companies to comply with installing backdoors.

This looks like a solid phone. Caterpillar makes some decent “side project” type products, it seems. I bought pair of Cat-branded boots a decade ago for their ANSI rating (needed them for work) and they are still going strong, although the soles are running out of tread from use over the years.

$5 billion? You can build an international airport for that.

Still a somewhat dangerous precedent, but not nearly as dangerous.

I can’t believe I missed the fact you were talking about apple until the bit about the turtleneck.

Good point. My comment definitely doesn’t apply across the board. I work at KDEN and there are airlines that fly out of here in Beech 1900s and Pilatuses, not to mention some cargo flights that operate Cessna 402s.

In the video they state that autonomous flight is at a slower speed. So, they got it going 45MPH but only under human control (so far).

Heck, all you need is the sequence to engage the autopilot and capture the ILS and the plane will not only fly the approach but land, rollout and brake by itself.

Somehow, this is Volkswagen’s fault.

It’s just weird that the “big three” in the US are now Ford, GM and Tesla.

If I asked you what the first GM car was which had 4 wheel independent suspension, an all-aluminum engine, and a rear-mounted transaxle, would you say the C5 Corvette in 1998? If so, you’d be wrong. it was the Pontiac Tempest in 1961.

Here’s a link to the GE announcement; I couldn’t find this in the article above (maybe I missed it):

Does this include bi-pin lamps too, or just self-ballasted?

If you add up enough of anything, the total is a big number. I’m not a fan of these comparisons because it inflates the impact of the activity. As you say, there are a lot more effective ways to save energy than not charging your phone in your car.

The Focus ST is basically a Viggen 15 years later, with worse gas mileage and less cargo space.

As CARS showed, prices and availability in the used market were affected pretty dramatically, altering the value proposition of buying used versus new. Using some kind of federal incentive program to get the general populace into autonomous cars would probably cause something similar. I did say “much to the dismay” of…

Weren’t the early motorcars meant to replace the horse rather than the buggy, strictly speaking? I mean, sure they had more than one seat but the buggies in the horse-and-buggy era were always essentially trailers pulled behind a self-contained mode of transportation (the horse).
