Given the immense popularity of cats on the internet, I'm sure the Google car will have feline profiles in it's avoidance database.

Yes, CF prices have come down, but most consumers still can't afford that cost/benefit ratio of a mostly CF car. Yes, the new i3 is a very worthy attempt at bringing a mostly CF vehicle to mass market, but beyond questionable quality small aftermarket parts, the equipment and processes needed to make large parts is…

You get the GT-40 - similar price tag too.

The cost of raw materials like aluminum won't change as drastically as the cost of mass produced electronics. Think about the first VCRs, cell phones, or PC's and how astronomical their prices were - and how crappy their performance was.

This has all been possible for quite some time, yet the cost has never come down to affordable levels.

Suicide Jihadist Fish Strike

As an avid kayaker in the Portland area, I have never seen these boats - which means stealth really does work. Personally I think the Simpsons Night Boat spoof was real.

"Hot or Not" might have been an infantile website, but it just goes to show how shallow humans really are - even when recruiting from Linkedin.

Charles is right. It's a YF-23 and proves my point about GI Joe toys being a bad omen...

Ah thanks! I can just imagine the JTAC's interface would be like playing an RTS game. Pretty cool stuff - if it were to happen...

Darn, my company's web filter won't let me see that link. So was remote piloting a viable option?

I had that Rattler and the "Sky Striker". Perhaps it's a bad omen to have G.I. Joe toys copy your weapons systems...

Convert all A-10's (and retired F-14's) into remotely piloted attack drones. The technology and infrastructure already exists, they'd be used fearlessly , and if damaged they can go out in a blaze of glory as a kamikaze - instead of being sold for scrap.

When I hear upgraded tomcat I think Super Valkyrie!

Reminds me of that scene were old future Marty get's fired by his Japanese boss over video conferencing. Yeah, the Japanese economy sure was fierce competition back then....

Maybe consumers now expect Honda/Toyota levels of reliability and they've been burned by Euro and domestic brands in the past. I kinda wanted a Golf over a Fit, but then my old Prelude has given me almost 20 years of fun and reliable driving.

Looks like Oxford U. right next to the grounds where Lewis Carol was inspired to write Alice in Wonderland.

As a Daimler employee, I approve of this video - (but not the potential accident that could have happened)

Yeah, I generally agree that advanced equipment usually triumphs over inferior, yet numerous opponents. I always point to mid-east conflicts as well, but the training, tactics, intelligence, and logistics probably played a greater role in Israel and western forces kicking butt. Yes, Arab forces didn't have the latest…
