Maybe more people should copy Ford and put a knob *on* the touchscreen.  Seriously -- it’s better than tapping or sliding on a screen for temp control, like on my Volvo. 

Couldn’t spy satellites read license-plate-sized text from space back in the 1990s?  Seen a single vehicle, let alone a whole parking lot should be no problem at all! :) 

Based on the2025 Clubsport interior (below), don’t keep your hopes up for a return to buttons. I doubt the Mk8.5 will move back from the touchscreen since VW has invested so much in that tech.

Older people do not drive around in 1990s Buicks anymore, but they need something reliable, comfortable, and affordable. They want 4WD because it makes them feel safe. They probably can’t afford a Lexus...

Impressive, but how many $120K pickups does the world need? They are common enough around the Bay Area that they are certainly not attention-grabbing status items.

Makes sense. The functional safety types I’ve talked to always work in percentages. They try to estimate the probability of some really bad failure happening and then make sure the probability is very low.

Kodak was a huge, wealthy camera film company. Where are they today?

True, he looks legit. FWIW I’ve worked ‘beside’ some large safety teams in the automotive industry, and I don’t think they always agree with academia.

I’m guessing Tesla isn’t violating some Federal regulations on car design, so maybe there is some exception or something else??

I’m guessing we will get this in the US, just as a better-looking (?)Mini Cooper. Good chance it’s the same the JCW version of the Countryman:

Yeah that’s right -- I forgot how the price did easily stay in the $20's for ages. 

I wonder if it is this episode (no idea what podtail is, though...):

According to this:

Time to give this guy a moped-only license for the next 3 years.

In 2002, the base price of a WRX was $24,520. Inflation calculator says that is the equivalent of $42,735.95 (!!! damn !!!) today.

Ingenlath conceded that production at Polestar, which is based in Sweden but controlled by China’s Geely, “started with a very Chinese orientation.”

No, the cyber truck is fully steer-by-wire.

No, this is a dumb take.

(I’m part of the problem just posting in this thread, but ...)

I heard the passenger, rear tire was +2 psi over the other 3.  That’ll do it every time.
