Why are they using aluminum bolts to hold a motor to a gear housing... Is the weight savings really worth it? IS there any weight savings? those things corrode at all and you’re never getting them out in one piece. At the very least, the head is rounding off/gouging out. Glad Tesla is making their $100,000+ SUV a…

Lol! This. I’m a dude and I’ve never had anyone even attempt to talk to me. Even when they probably should have. Like when they want to get something I’m blocking. Usually someone will grunt and point in the general direction of their desired equipment instead of just telling me what they want.

Sugar is pretty evil, but a necessary evil. I think it’s useful to see how much sugar is being added versus the amount I have to tolerate to eat a certain food. If I can select a food that has less added sugar, I will.

Solid advice front to back.

How’s Ghosn’s boot taste? Think he’ll sprinkle some of that sweet tax-free money he got down there? I mean, there has to be some of it left over from paying his kids’ college tuition and the lavish parties at french palaces. Probably saved a bunch of money in the investment loss he simply transferred to Nissan. Or…

Ah cool. An aspiring rich person. Tell me about how it’s fair rich people get to take millions of dollars off the books. Really, I’d like to know how that can be applied to yours or my life.

Please point all of us to where you got hit in the head and forgot that cars are dangerous and that piloting them is a literal matter of life and death. You don’t just willy nilly entrust an industry solely focused on profit and “disruption” with the public’s safety. Quite frankly, I don’t want my partner slammed into…

Who gives a shit? You remember that story about google’s car that wrecked on the highway and injured some people? Remember Tesla’s crappy system that keeps crashing into stuff and killed or injured people? That’s what happens when businesses are given carte blanche to do what they want on our public roads.

Reluctantly agree. Using the LT4 is the smarter choice since cadillac has proven time and again that it can’t beat the other luxury manufacturers at their own game. The LT4 puts out more than enough power and cadillac should leverage any advantage it has by being part of a much larger car company. Turbo hot-vee V8 is…

Wow. they’re expecting this to still be a problem in April? That’s like two months away!

This. I don’t care is Nissan is being petty at this point. Ghosn is a rich asshole who misappropriated more money than most of us would earn in 10 lifetimes, yet he’s living it up at home. Fuck him and fuck anyone standing up for him. He’s not your friend, he’s not vulnerable, and he’s certainly not innocent. You will…

Yeah, sure. Let’s just trust the profit-driven corporations to look out for the public’s interest in not being run down by an AV in testing. It’s inconceivable that a computer controlled 4,000lb vehicle could be dangerous without an unbiased party checking the math or limiting where these things can be aimed.

No, I’m acting like you’re a smug asshole. Oh wait, I’m sorry. Was that experience horrible? Ah shit. I’m sure the kids are saying it different. Sorry for the obsolete words. Why are we even typing words? Let’s just meme each other.

I’m saying regulation is non-existent. I’m saying that even though AVs are such a popular topic and they are being tested on our public roads and no credible plan or intention to regulate them has been even spoken about, that competent and authoritative regulation is a long, long way out. At this rate, we’ll have…

Lol! Dude, what? Humans can’t infer? Why is there a word for it? Why does the concept of inference exist if we can’t do it? Of course it’s based on known information. That’s what inference is. A computer can’t infer anything. It needs explicit instructions to identify inputs and it needs explicit instructions to make…

I think our present adoption of undeveloped self-driving tech and Tesla are prime examples of why a lot of your assumptions about how AV tech will evolve are unsubstantiated. There is no credible regulation of AV tech like there is medical devices, nor is there any credible plans to develop or implement such regulation…

any program that makes decisions based on observed information without another intelligent object choosing for them is Artificial Intelligence. it may not have the same range as a human but neither does a cat and we recognize that as intelligent.

Exactly. If we think the subscription economy for personal goods is bad, this is a whole other dimension.

No one is going to substitute a donkey for their car when personal control of a vehicle is no longer an option. Also fuck your disingenuous argument that humans did just fine for 99.9% of their existence without piloting cars. Do you mean all of that time before the industrial revolution? Because I’m not going back to…

That’s just a fancy way of making driving impractical for anyone they want. They can pick any reason or no reason at all to jack up the rates on non-autonomous cars. Again, you will not be immune to this proposal regardless of you willingness or ability to pilot a vehicle safely. Let’s see how much you like your plan…
