And just like salads, they're as healthy as what you make em with...

So if I cast this HBO Go from a Chrome browser to my TV via Chromecast will it look like crap? For example, I’ll do the same with Amazon Prime, but you have to change Prime’s settings from Silverlight to Flash video to keep the frame rate and audio sync in place, but the resolution goes down in Flash video...

Please don't mow me down - big flying phallus with huge sensor balls...

I’d love to replace my 3 big monitors with a huge ultrawide one for gaming and graphics/multimedia work, but it’ll cost so much more. I’m sure prices will drop in the near future.

If you’re just getting into quad-copters, I’d suggest a cheaper outdoor toy grade “drone” to at get your feet wet. There’s limited range, no GPS, FPV, no real payload capacity, but it’s got a low rez camera and all the basic flight characteristics to get you used to these things. I’ve owned a couple of Syma X-family

Me too. MT coupe please...

I’ve been daily driving my 5th gen Prelude SH for almost 20 years now. She can hang on a little longer till this TypeR arrives. Kinda like finally being able to pass on the sword and retire...

I'm in PDX. By your avatar I assume you're at swan island. Guess you've seen the supertruck itself or at least the announcement on the employee portal. Yeah mirrors are a drag. I'm surprised they couldn't go with the thin wing camera thingies like the revolution concept. Might not be realistically legal...

True, but what's the maintenance costs and long term reliability of hybrid micro turbines? Just like airlines investing in the new composite 787, they have to weigh the long term benefits, but a whole new type of truck engine and the fact that the very pricey CF trailer probably accounts for most of the efficiency

I work for Daimler trucks and yes, the Wave concept is way cooler looking (I like sci-fi) and a far more advanced concept, but as others have already said, Freightliner's concept is far more feasible and affordable. You have to realize that the American trucking industry is very very old school. I'd love it if we

True, ships trains and old subs are less concerned with weight, but then you have the Chevy Volt which is essentially a series-hybrid but just not diesel.

I work for Daimler trucks and we built both this concept and the latest Optimus Prime....

I work for Daimler trucks and yes, they do open more for cooling.

Funny, every day on my commute every vehicle stuck in traffic around me has 1 - 2 people, lots of extra wasted space, tons of extra weight, and guzzles way more fuel than is necessary. I seriously doubt they were all on a Costco / Ikea run.

Re-jigger the suspension so that it can bank/lean into turns like a real bike or the old mercedes life-jet concept and it won't have to be as wide and will be way more fun.

Thought so... everyone else was just pulling my leg.

Is that some kind of HUD or huge magnifying glass!

Agreed. Besides the lower standards/higher profit margin, marketing also convinced hordes of soccer moms that SUVs were safer and just more youthful/outdoorsy than the far more efficient minivans or station wagons. In time the commanding view and the American general lack of need for good road handling got people
