The TSA are definitely not gamers. That’s pretty clearly an Xbox One S, not a PlayStation. 

Hey, this taught me how to merge my two kinja accounts too — never knew that was possible. Thanks, Bob.

I believe it’s designed to be a standard engine. Not for airport ops, but for city/suburban use — LAFD 82 is right where the 101 passes through Hollywood. Mostly low-rise offices and apartments plus single family homes. Though Rosenbauer is mostly an airport crash truck maker in the US, they build a lot of…

I think this is just a mangling of the fact that US electric charging uses the J1772/CCS1 standard while the EU (and everywhere else but China) uses Mennekes/CCS2. The voltage isn’t what matters, it’s the communications and physical plug design that’s different.

This is similar to what Citroen have been running for a while. Ideally, you’re supposed to have the wheel below your line of sight to the cluster. Of course, in an SUV seating position that’s nearly impossible — but in a car it is feasible.

This shows the need to provide more secure (and dry) parking for micro-mobility devices. If people have to store them in their apartments, there will be fires.

The Dutch do this right. Zandvoort is about a ten minute walk from the local train station, and the national railway runs a train arriving/leaving every three minutes during the run up to and immediate aftermath of the GP. Those run express to the major interchange stations in the area. They also surround the…

I would like to nominate the collective badge-engineering that happened when GM killed off Saturn and Pontiac during the 2007-2008 financial crisis and subsequent bankruptcy.

It has always been about the dealer networks, yeah. People forget in our era of mega-dealer-groups that there were (and are) separate franchise agreements and networks for Chevy, Buick-Olds-Pontiac-Saturn-GMC, and Cadillac.

This wouldn’t result in a new grounding of the 737 Max. The Max 7 and Max 10 are new aircraft with none delivered yet. The 737 Max 8 and Max 9 are the ones that were grounded due to the earlier crashes and aren’t the subject of this extension.

The G11 7 Series redesign was pretty awful. From a very good sedan to massive schnoz.

Yes, good lord. 

I wonder why we get so much madder at driverless cars stopping than at people who leave their cars in the bus/bike/travel lanes “just for a second” while they run errands.

The article pretty clearly states that there’s a left turn lane — and that the problem the cops were trying to solve is that cars trapped in the intersection (because they ran the red) blocked the left turn lane. 

One thing that’s worth noting is why the charges aren’t more severe. In order to charge the driver with assault or attempted murder, they’d have to identify the victim.

If this isn’t for Burning Man, I’ll eat my hat.

It’s never a good sign when parts that, upon failing, immediately make the car not-road-legal become unobtainium.

The Fiat 500X. As the platform mate of the Jeep Renegade, it never really had a reason to exist except to be more ‘crossover-y’ than the trucklike Jeep. With the market swinging hard to preferring boxier CUVs rather than tall-wagons, it has no market.

Guess what is dying after the 2022 model year? (The Avalon will be a Chinese-market exclusive after sometime in the summer)

This is probably referring to license plate covers or people who stick their plate in the window. Those are human-readable but not machine-readable.
