The videos on Wired suck, or I am too stupid to figure out how to enlarge them. A four-view feed is too small to see anything unless it’s full screen.

Educational my ass. How is manufacturing something like this even legal for sale to the public? Law enforcement, first responders, sure. But otherwise there is nothing not nefarious this could be used for.

We live in an age where people being selfish, horrible liars is normalized and the rule, not the exception. People have zero respect for things they rent, actually, it’s probably the opposite, that gives them a license to abuse something, no matter where it came from. I think you’d need your head examined if you…

Makes sense, but why do these idiots agree to pay over sticker in the first place? Dealers only keep doing this because consumers keep letting them.

Screw changing the structures to meet the vehicles, force the vehicles to adhere to weight standards the structures can support. We need to do this here too, because as we’ve seen from the Surfside disaster last year, we can’t build structures that last like they used to.

The idea of a parachute is cool but the execution here looks like something cobbled together with bits and bobs from Harbor Freight and Dollar General.

The event now known as Cars and Coffee and Death and Destruction.

I was fully expecting this to be Naked Florida Man, but otherwise, no disappointments.

Europe is so far ahead of us in realizing how fucked up air travel is. 

Smart garage doors. Because pressing a button is soooooo hard.

Social media deriding Soul makes me want one. The KN Hamsters rule.

I can hear the North American president screaming at his staff, “Dammit, you fools! The Ejector Doors were supposed to be subscription only!!!!”

In the modern world (and especially after the Surfside disaster) seeing acres of concrete anywhere (even in small garages) makes me think about lowest-bidder, shoddy construction green-lighted by corrupt and/or inept bureaucrats, just waiting for the right amount of aging to just pancake down at any moment.

5th gear - Splitting hydrogen, um....

I am sure there was fine print in the owner’s manual somewhere recommending keeping the chassis dry at all times. User error!

A passenger version of that would be as appealing as the forbidden fruit of Kei-Car styling. Sadly I think US manufacturers are rapidly approaching a completely full pivot away from anything except catering to one-percenters.

Like a service hour isn’t actually 10 minutes of work + 50 minutes of Cheez-Its, Mountain Dew, and daytime TV. Seriously, watch how often mechanics drift away from the cars they are working on and how most of the cars are just sitting there in the bay, with no one around doing anything to them.

I would say most thieves would fudge up the light which would make the car basically worthless since that’s about a two grand part now. But good to know a busted light might now be a cause for legitimate paranoia.

Wrong. If they want to discourage people from hanging around, all they have to do is pipe in the CVS hold music, and it won’t even need to be that loud. No one is sticking around for that shit.

The Supreme Court will soon reveal they are above the law. Oh wait, that already happened.
