Pretty sure that’s the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-Dumptruck

This is a major point of debate/development, particularly within the realm of city planning/civil engineering. Effectively it’s as you’re pointing out, if you don’t “feel” as safe, you’re far more aware of the possible contact points around you.

Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. Top notch book and a really provocative look into the creative process! 12/10 would recommend

This isn’t a “Do it because we deserve it”, thing... This is a “Do it because it’s been proven, when implemented sensibly, to lower traffic deaths, provide citizens with apt options for commuting via foot/bike, & gives people a plausible way to get exercise/fresh air during the ongoing pandemic while still maintaining…

Ehhh kinda is a bit of a stretch their. Ford did invest heavily into Argo AI, but VW holds a higher stake currently (Argo AI is very much still alive but also very much behind in their tech). What Ford definitively didn’t do though was purchase, nor take a majority/near-majority stake in, Argo. Big difference.

While I absolutely think the NHTSA should effectively just adopt the NCAP testing regiment, vehicle size is absolutely not the main contributing factor to the increase in pedestrian deaths. The increase in urban population coupled with horrifyingly un-walkable cities and a complete lack of city planning on the account…

Ford should’ve been isolating risk & isolating funding for it’s new technology ventures (namely EVs & autonomous development) similar to how GM did way TF back in 2016 when it acquired Cruise. Or in other words, Ford should’ve sought to purchase or spin-off their internal autonomous vehicle program into a separate (&…

Currently running some global estimates that are suggesting around a 33% drop in sales for the year. Would correlate to US figures closer to 11.5M vehicles, which is frankly still kinda optimistic in Q3. A Pessimistic Q3 yields something more like 10.5M

Loaded question right there. Honestly though, you start over in about 30% of technical areas and for the remaining majority you identify the key players within a given company (say Ford) and give them the keys (and a shit ton of money) to rebuild a given platform. The knowledgebase & facilities would still be present…

Tl;dr: But I have to assume the procedure is as follows...

The longevity of the impact is likely a bit understated. Even as individual countries come back online, OEM’s supply chains are by definition highly globalized at this point. Thus there might be a collection of minor components that stall out vehicle production right as some regions begin recovering.

I... I thought this was satirical.... She actually.... What.

Neutral: If you were CEO of Harley what would you do to turn the company around? I think would basically pursue its (sort of) current strategy of launching a bunch of small and interesting electric motorcycles, but do it about a million times faster.

Cruise/GM:

Neither can I :D

Was referring to overall vehicle grade (aka absolute pitch or attack angle) not angle of attack as relevant to aerodynamics. Generally speaking it's represented as the "D-term" in a road-load coefficient calculation which is commonly used as a feedforward controller in the aforementioned functions. Appreciate the…

Its been amazing watching your voice evolve over the years. I'm almost as excited to see how it continues to evolve as I am sad that it won't be at Jalopnik. There are big shoes to fill and I'm sure the team will do a helluva job 🙌

Wouldn’t be too surprised if a good number are. Should at least debunk them with the right argument though.

1st Gear: It’s worth noting here that the complaint doesn’t mention anything about accelerator pedals, pedal impingements, pedal sensor faults, etc. Rather it seems to be circling a trio of functionalities within the vehicles; Adaptive Cruise Control (sic. Auto Pilot), Creep Control (Low speed torque application to…
