I prefer the metric of “uncontrolled donuts in <100 yards”.

I’m sure Elon’s lawyers had her sign an NDA. Heck, she may have signed an NDA the minute they started dating, and maybe she even got payment for committing to the NDA. Now those lawyers represent her in anything related to public comments on Musk.

The Roswell aliens never gave us the tech for transparent black boxes — they stopped at bright orange.

The reference to independence meant the American Revolution and not the Civil War.

Was Sonny Borrelli also in favor of allowing these (educational) TERRORISTS to carry firearms on the job?

After the sea levels raise a bit, it’ll still be convenient since rowing a canoe is about the same speed as walking! 

The should have a bit of courage and market it as a matte smog beige, or maybe they’re saving this for Maserati?

I’ll believe it when I see it.

lol, lots of people do love it.

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.
