That’s true. I suppose you only need water, some food, and perhaps shelter depending on where you live.

For safety features, just because you’ve never used it doesn’t mean you don’t need it.

The last two, yes, yes you do. You think you can do any of those tasks better than a computer?

Have you ever been in a car in a developing country? Trust me, as your taxi driver is passing yet another car on a blind curve on a mountain road that also has people driving mopeds on the wrong side of the road on that very blind curve, you’ll realize that people already feel pretty invincible. And don’t worry, that…

It seems like the jury is actually still out as to whether it’s more green on the whole life cycle. But even if it’s a “tie,” I think that the balance will shift very soon such that an electric vehicle is indeed the greenest option.

An electric car is still more efficient than an ICE vehicle, even when accounting for the varied fuel sources in the US. In addition, if you have an electric fleet, the “greenness” of your fleet improves as you improve your the greenness of your grid, as opposed to when people buy a new car in ten years that is…

If designing to the test doesn’t make the car safer, then we need a new test.

“Amtrak is probably America’s finest bar. On the Northeast Corridor run, you can get a bottle of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA for $8.”

Don’t worry, once the first major bridge collapses we’ll surely get serious about this.. wait, what?! A bridge collapsed in a major city NINE YEARS AGO?

I hope you’ve been studying your compound meter, I for one look forward to this jig.

Have fun riding your autonomous car across state lines...

I feel like for something “in beta,” it should actually be a deadman’s switch to make it move remotely, in that if the user lets go of the fob it stops immediately.

If it were a fully autonomous car, it would have to be the manufacturer. There’s no other way I would own one under any other condition, and no one else should. (And I’m “pro-autonomous,” if there is such a thing.)

Complain about the acting all you want, but as you say Anakin’s descent made complete sense. Maybe Ren's does too, but I really don't see why everyone is raving that this one is so much more convincing (yet).

I’m sure plenty of people would say the same about where you live!

Except that would be contrary to any reasonable city’s goal of reducing driving.

“He still might, but it took Vader three movies. I would hope they don’t track the original trilogy storyline that closely.”

Banning bike’s without one single handlebar seems like a really convoluted way to achieve what I assume they really want, which is keeping the speeds down to a more “reasonable” level.

Are you kidding me? You think that cyclists should wear helmets so that they don’t negatively affect motorists’ insurance rates? How about motorists stop hitting cyclists?

I find it even more alarming that he convinced at least eight friends that this was a good idea.
