Not to naysay the literal professionals, but I underwent formal translation theory training, and one of the key points they made sure to hammer in again and again was, “don’t change the meaning”. That’s not to say you do word-for-word translation, but it does mean that changes should help to convey the original…

This article needs Judge Doom.

I work on regulatory/policy issues for a self-driving company (not Tesla). From my vantage point, the rest of the industry is sick of the misrepresentation and wink-wink-nudge-nudge about the capabilities of Tesla’s “FSD” or “Autopilot” tech, which very well may deliver on what’s been promised. Look at how many other…

Both this article and the original were well-written and interesting. Whether or not you love Tesla and/or Musk, it’s important to analyze the effects of new technologies. What stood out to me:

Modern cars have amazing crumple zones and other safety features designed to divert impact force away from the occupants. How…

Gas taxes should be higher. Like, much higher.

I’m a younger millennial who’s just getting into motorcycles for the first time, and I’m not looking at Harley-Davidson motorcycles at all. I care about price, reliability, capability, comfort, and appearance.

My impressions:
Price: HD motorcycles seem to cost about 50% more than comparable bikes from other…

What exactly is the brand image in 2021? I can’t really figure it out, other than exactly the photo posted at top of an old dude and old broad waving colorful flags that may or may not have something to do with gangs/veterans/right wing conspiracy theories. When not galivanting around in leather and waving flags, they…

Oh, hey, editing. This:

A warthog!? What’d I tell you about making up animals!?

It looks more like a Puma...

I’d rather have unions and games take twice as long to make tbh

“Musk-Senpai is saving the wold uwu!”

somebody with a welder and a sense of humor is committed.

To truly capture the millennial spirit, the car should be financed at a high interest rate over 120 months by someone with crippling student loans, who works three jobs to stay above water.

Honest question (I’m trying to become more of a car guy, but I’m not one yet.):

I will take this and three fellow commuters on the windiest HOV lane I can find.

I will buy it, put an interior in it, throw a slower steering rack in it, and daily it. 65° of steering angle would be wonderful for parallel parking.

I want a utilitarian EV for daily commuting. Usually, much less than a hundred miles per day, so ideally a maximum range of 150 miles would provide a good emergency buffer.

That settles it: somebody start SpeederCon on some other week of the year.

Nobody said he had to be fitted into it in a single piece.
