Had an STI, infant seat and rear facing car seat did not fit well at all. No longer have the STI for those reasons.

Families also use to lap sit the kids. Back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy rear facing car seats and booster seats and this and that.

You get cashback and points with credit cards. Not so much with debit cards.

So...what were the existing reasons?

Acura has these. There’s no fixed off position; it’s either auto, parking lights, or low beam.

I think you’re thinking of the QX30. The QX50 is their own.

If you read carefully, their 99.9% is for rides that did not result in a safety complaint. The majority ended up being non-issues, such as “harsh braking” or “verbal argument”. The actual number of real incidences is but a tiny sliver of that 0.1%.

That’s not the quote from Uber. That’s the quote from the Jalopnik writer.

Not according to the report, which apparently you didn’t read and the author decided to take liberties in reporting.

Good thing that it’s 99.9998% not 99.9%. You’re off by a factor of 500.

I don’t know about you, but TrueCar says Si’s are selling for around $24K in my area: https://www.truecar.com/prices-new/honda/civic-pricing/2019/?exteriorColorId=noPreference&interiorColorId=977460&userSelectedExteriorColor=false&userSelectedInteriorColor=false&userSelectedStyle=true&viprStyleId=64806&zipcode=94118

They’re bringing an A6 Allroad, so that’s kind of an A6 Avant...

TIL we should be contracting all the homeless people in San Francisco to teach first responders how to break car windows, since they seem to be so good at something that you’re saying is impossible.

9 out of 10 California girls are hot.

I highly doubt Tesla (or any automaker) is going to spend time investigating every single buyer just in case there’s some 7th degree connection tying that person back to the IIHS just so that they can deliver them a rigged vehicle.

There’s still the the problem that even though the cars may be good at passing specific and known tests in a laboratory setting, some of definitely safer than others in the real world. When the test parameters change and there you see a sudden decrease in performance for a particular car, that’s a pretty clear sign…

Turning crash tests into a spectator sport to fund more tests could work :)

I guess maybe they don’t disclose who they are when they order from Tesla.

We’ll be streaming the next in a series of side-impact research crash tests live on Facebook. To watch, visit https://www.facebook.com/iihs.org/ at 11:25 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21.

The better question is why has it taken the NHTSA (which is the actual governing body, the IIHS actually has no say in what the standards are) so long to make any changes. The IIHS tests are objectively harder to pass than the NHTSA ones.
