With that said, man this IS a pretty car. It looks like Porsche built a Model 3 out of the McLaren parts bin.

Small correction to the headline, but Xiaomi doesn’t build it, they contract that to BAIC who are an actual car company that has been around for decades. Still it’s kinda crazy that a smartphone company designed a car, and their first go at it is apparently really good. I wonder how much BAIC helped in that regard.

Exactly. It’s a pointless function.

Totally owning himself with a name that admits the last version was total shit just to use a childish acronym.

To be fair, he’s also telling us what this system really is

Narcissism is a hell of a drug.  And that’s probably not the only drug he’s on.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F*&$#

Time for a Jalopnik survey / test / review of the best Dashcams. 

I can’t count the number of times where something mildly insane happened to me and I later on wondered why the hell I didn’t do X, because obviously X would have been clear and reasonable thing to do, rather than Y, which was either somewhat useless or completely counter-productive. Things like this put us in weird…

I’m at a loss to understand why the woman did not call the police and report an aggregated assault; attempted injury with a dangerous weapon, or something like that.  THAT would have gotten the cops to respond, and pretty much describes the crime.

The scammers know the police ain’t coming.

I wonder if the police would have shown up if she told them that they intentionally attacked her with their car, and that she was afraid for her safety.

I put a dashcam in my car several years ago specifically because of seeing a video like this one. I even purposely bought one that is relatively easy to notice in the window. I don’t think it’s my imagination that I can tell people drive a little more carefully around me in traffic when I have the camera mounted…

I love it when companies remember that things can sometimes be fun.
