Contractually obligated not to have a car within a quarter mile (1,320 feet, or about maybe four city blocks) is a little too controlling for me. But, I like the idea of a place designed around walking. The space taken up by streets and parking in an urban area can easily be more than 50%. Take that 50%, push it to…

Smart suffers from the same issue as the Mini....

I’m not a meat fanatic, I just don’t see how a single plant producing sausages is really that impactful in the grand scheme of things. This feels more like a PR stunt gone wrong that lowers employee moral. Anything to make up for Dieselgate I guess.

It has nothing to do with being a meat-fanatic. It has to do with a company doing something along the lines of what the employees wanted making it a more pleasant place to work to doing what it has decided is best for them. It’s another tiny piece of a return to that late 19th early 20th century parental company…

This absolutely strikes me as greenwashing at the highest level. Like Al Gore driving his Prius to the airport to board his private jet.

Well, that certainly makes up for diesel-gate.

Well, you can do it, but at that point you’re taking over so often that you rapidly realize there is little utility in the system outside of a party trick because the level of attention needed is as much as just driving the car.

Take the bus tour then.

It is not much force to break the AP, Ive done it many times by accident just trying to let it know that I was still on the wheel.

That’s an assumption that the car is able to make the correct decision way back where the lines split.

Trigger warning to Tesla stans:

Yeah, have to agree.

Nah.

“See, I mostly agree. But the only thing that makes sense is for things that require ongoing infrastructure costs. Like OnStar/live roadside assistance, or even real time traffic updates to the navigation. The satellites and the infrastructure keeping the service up to date have ongoing recurring costs.”

That shit BMW…

I can see subscriptions being the way America gets a 25k EV. It will be painfully slow to drive and have shit range unless you subscribe to “Power Boost” and “ Advance Range”. It will only play manufacturer owned radio stations that play 5 mins of ads per song. The in car billboard will constantly bombard you with ada…

Agreed, especially if I’m paying a subscription for hardware that was installed in the car in the factory. I already bought it and now I’m paying extra?

None. They can kiss my ass.

lmao oh no

French.
