The 7 cameras form one cohesive image with the truck icon in the center. There are many system on the market like this. It’s not new.

My parents have an Infiniti JX. It has surround view - very convenient

Fender is known for making some really great amplifiers. Doesn’t really translate to car audio, but still.

It’s not education, it’s culture. Germans have a very regimented, disciplined culture. They follow the rules and are generally responsible; it’s been bred into them for generations... Americans are basically the opposite.

Well he’s white, so he can’t be a terrorist. Everyone knows that.

I think you are missing point about the user experience i.e. the cyclist themselves as part of the argument. Sure you can do something well today with the solar panels over the cyclists, but this new approach has a number of advantages that also create value (just in a different way).

Again, your assumption is purely based on what you know about the prototype (which is based on the snippets of public information, not the internal data).

so you’re saying take something that clearly needs improvement and forget about it and move on? genius. Why didnt i think of that? Seriously dude. They’re testing it out and trying to improve on it because it is a smart idea........covering our roadways with something that’s actually USEFUL instead of oh idk,…

Love the attitude (not really). Let’s go ahead and kill off all research and innovation, because sometimes stuff doesn’t work. Some of the biggest inventions of our time have come about after we tried things that seemed like they would be failures. Just because these solar roadways seem like bad ideas right now,…

I said this yesterday and we are all entitled to our own opinion but, Jay Leno is cool because he’s not trying to be something other than himself. He has always done a ton of charity work, he buys and restores many cars that would be otherwise completely forgotten, he works on his own cars and he drives them all. I…

He’s the only one on this list that shares his ENTIRE collection with all of us..

A collector that actually drives his car...that’s cool in my book

You know, the only thing that pisses me off about that is the fact that it has to be wrapped up in a dick measuring exercise. God knows that we all don’t know how to do this or that but promoting such a stupid fucking book while failing at the exercise is just simply pathetic and rage worthy. Collectively, they have…

Oh wait... I think I messed up

When it stops being the answer.

Yep - It’s also a car you buy to drive the wheels off over 15+ years/250,000 miles with minimal issues. No Audi product is going to ever have that reliability, and good luck wrenching out the inevitable electronic gremlins that arise in nearly every modern German luxury brand.

Your Audi also costs twice as much and is half as reliable, so there’s that.

But that’s the point, the Outback is what you want to buy if you want something that is kinda boring but is quiet about it. Like a middle child in a religious family, it just wants to do what it has to and not get too much attention.
