They want attention, like attention whores and internet trolls, but worse.

You know what’s the one advantage of a self-driving car? Jumps. With no human spine to break, the car can jump higher and land harder!

The cars will be so smart that if any of the sensor is malfunctioning, it’ll refuse to drive. So there won’t be 3rd or 4th owner; it will simply cost too much to maintain beyond warranty.

So do I want my potentially unhinged Uber driver to carry?

Why would someone rob a Uber driver? They don’t accept cash, so the driver probably only carries a small amount of personal spending money.

you automatically think that self-defense with a gun is the default go to point of every possible scenario

The pharmacy chain didn’t care, and Uber won’t care.

This is where the Congress should step in: make a Federal law to protect people’s right to self-defense. Nobody should be forced to make the difficult choice between defending life vs losing job. Companies should be barred from discriminating against people who exercise their right to self-defense.

3rd gear: Right on time, a dangerous sink hole has opened up in the city of Pacifica. Maybe the almighty is trying to tell Google something?

The “pod” thing on the front fender will get destroyed in no time. All my cars have dings and dents in that location; some of them are from dear family members hitting stationary objects; others are from actions of other people who don’t even leave a note. I also found my mirror scratched and folded several times in…

I think Google should buy Ferrari. New technology will be expensive and low volume; the cost is much easier to justify on a $300k car, compared to a minivan that used to start at $19,999.

Red Bull F1 team: Red Bull gives you wings!

Because the mighty Camry is more grounded to the ground than your Pirelli P-anything!

If it makes you feel better, my motorcycle with 1200cc V2 only gets 25mpg.

All fair points, but I don’t think it matters. People uses RangeRover as their minivan. How well it does offroad doesn’t matter. Similarly, if the electric pickup can only do 150 miles empty, and 120 miles fully loaded, and only 70 miles towing at max capacity, it’ll still meet the requirements of a lot of today’s…

Pickups are already big and heavy, so there are room for more battery. Even better, a pickup can tow a range extending trailer on longer trips!

Actually, why hasn’t anyone produced electric pickup yet? The gigatons of torque from standing still is perfect for towing and drag racing.

Are there no minimal weight requirement in endurance racing?

So, what stops a team from taking it a step further and enter the race with basically a motorcycle, a stretched motorcycle where the rider sit *in* the middle instead of *on*?

Serious question: if the owner had bought an extra ticket for the bear, would TSA allow it onboard?
