I haven’t seen those before! Awesome. Good way to get your car vandalized in the intolerant People’s State of Taxifornia.

Why are you being so mean?

That’s not what valve reliefs are for. They’re to raise compression and to ensure that the piston doesn’t smash into the valves while the engine is timed properly.

What. The. Fuck.

Of course, with a sleeve valve engine, none of these problems with pesky belt changing are an irrelevance.

A lot of tears and needing to find a new way home?

Sure, but the 5s-fe is a free running engine, which that mechanic had never heard of, and he’s apparently not alone and that’s kind of annoying.

Show me one of these pictures, please? And keep in mind, we’re not talking about the location of reverse here. You may want to look at that picture again.

This makes no sense and you’re insane. A person jumping in front of a car isn’t a victim and calling that victim blaming is seriously bullshit.

Why isn’t the victim due the blame if, in the words of the person who has actually seen the video, “it’s very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode [autonomous or human-driven] based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway”?

Why isn’t it enough if the machine is…

We have an absurd amount of pedestrian fatalities here in the Phoenix metro area. The link below is to a story from March 13 about the previous week and the 10 pedestrian deaths that had occurred. In 2016 Arizona was 3rd in pedestrian deaths and in 2017 it was 1st. For some reason this narrative is left out of the…

A big factor that separates human drivers from robotic is “reading” people. I’m not saying that was a factor here, but human can notice odd situations or people acting erratically at curbs edge and preemptively brake. Ironically the limiting factor of these vehicles in cities is still human, even if all the other…

That’s the issue. Was it possible to avoid the pedestrian without defying the laws of physics? Ask anyone who has hit a deer if they saw it coming or could have in any way avoided it.

The point here isn’t “a human driver might have killed the pedestrian, too.”

Was there a Fast and Furious film marathon last night?

Six -gears for me. 6th gear makes 80-mph highway cruising a non-taxing affair.

My 5 speed automatic Mazda 3 keeps the revs at 3200 rpm at 80pmh and gets a mileage of 21mpg,, all the while droning into the cabin.. you are wrong all cars need 6 gears, automatic or manual..

That’s stupid. Gun companies don’t give their guns out and say; “Go shoot someone.” Uber took a ‘beta test’ vehicle out officially, and did something I don’t believe they were supposed to. You can use that moronic example when a Colt employee gets instructions to shoot people.
