Operating it is like operating an auto ice with stop/start. Except for refuelling it.
It has three screens, and rotary controls. It has steering feel. Yes, the level of regen is adjustable.

How many dozens do they expect to sell the first year?

haha I read that and assumed that was Navy speak for a little boat, not autocorrect XD

They’d be the most forgettable 3 seconds of her day or her money back.

It’s the new Panamera coupe.

Think there was a movie about that

So if the adaptive cruise control in your 2018 [Insert Vehicle Here] fails to brake and hits the car in front of you, we blame the manufacturer and not the driver?

True. The 2010 Supercharged and forward uses the same 5.0 liter and has “only” 470 horsepower. It does use the same tires, but you can get a set for around $600 as long as you don’t need the top of the line. I do need winter tires for the cold months and those are not cheap...

I’ve got you. A supercharged V8 with 510 horsepower for right around your $20k asking price. Don’t listen to the fools that complain about Jaguar reliabilty. I’ve driven one for almost 4 years and it has been fantastic. Here’s one with only 43k on the odometer.

The Bonnivlle speed week guys have been doing this since the 50s

Night vision is only a piece of an updated system, it also has to be done with an augmented reality with a heads-up display. Heads-down into the dash is pointless on an augmented front-view system.

As the poor driver slowly drifted to a lucid sleep, from a combination of inhaling all the noxious gasses rapidly escaping back into the tin box, while the rising heat of the motor turned him into the prefect sort of crisp, yet retaining the sort of savory juicy tenderness fawned by the strange inhabitants of this…

Whoops, shows how carefully I watched that vid :P

In my defense I was trying to watch it stealthily at work on an 11" laptop

I think the most important thing to take away from all this is, if you don’t understand the road, you slow down. The car was clearly driving too fast for the conditions it could respond to, and that’s where the failure is.

The car also has a HUD which will give a visual alert for something in the distance. Then you can glance down at the screen to see what it is. Yellow box means pedestrian, orange is animal. If it thinks there might be a collision it will give an audio alert and the seat will vibrate. If a collision is imminent, the…

I massively disagree. This is her job. She’s not being driven around, she’s there to pay attention in case o a failure.

Seems pretty obvious she was looking at her phone. She even smiled at something just before she looked up.

Agreed. This seems like one of the faults where humans are really good subconsciously processing double negatives, and vehicles are not (if they’re not pre-programmed to deal with this, which I am very sure they are not, at least to the extent that we are). For example, if it’s dark and you can’t see very well (aka…

That car looks like it *might* not meet California Emissions.
