I don’t like the thought of having to remove the engine or transmission to change that belt though. It really should be gear driven.

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.

I hate to point out the fact that the average age of road going vehicles by the mathematical nature of averages... will always go up... regardless of how good sales are or vehicle adoption is... that is unless all of a sudden you want to “ban” cars after a certain age.

A hundred bucks for a device that pours beer? Fucking hipsters!

What’s the story behind Anker? They seem to have come out of nowhere with some great products. Would be interesting to see Gizmodo do an in-depth about the company.
