“What you don’t know can’t hurt you” is not only wrong at all times, but it’s especially wrong in this case when you consider that the exhaust has been hurting, is hurting, and will continue to hurt people.

Only those people who don’t want to die because some idiot ran into their vehicle.

Tesla did two things right with this design: they didn’t add a fake grille that has no reason to be there, and they didn’t clutter up the interior with a bunch of crap like most modern cars.

Not trusting Craigslist sellers isn’t bitter; it’s realistic. Every transaction where prices are not fixed (i.e., not typical American retail settings) involves both buyer and seller trying to gain maximal advantage. Suggesting otherwise is mindbogglingly naieve.

They’re a father-daughter couple.

What I expect from BMW is an energy-sipping, fully-electric AWD crossover with cupholders, a raft of safety features, overblown styling, tech integration, and autonomous driving functions. Realistically, that’s the only way they’re going to see another century, or however long it is until cars become effectively…

This is just bluster. Automotive history has been an inexorable, incremental trend toward granting control to computers. Hell, even Ferrari got rid of the third pedal. A car driven by a computer will soon turn a faster, safer lap than any human. I question whether Ferraris are typically purchased as track toys, rather…

Does anyone actually use Facebook anymore? It’s 2016.

Why would you expect privacy on public roads? They’re public. By definition.

Depth-First Search isn’t meant for Stacks.

The first (of two times) I let a car salesman in the driver’s seat, he proceeded to treat a nearby mostly-empty parking lot like an autocross course. The lot was full of trees. I could have easily died just like this salesman.

So... the problems are worse. Got it.

How will this really help? Honda’s not trying to sell to enthusiasts. They just make appliances for the mass market. They need tighter focus on what average people actually want. Giving more control to engineers like me would simply result in enthusiast-oriented models that don’t sell.

Despite being relatively young still (I’m a millennial), and a tech professional at that, I’m a member of the one-in-four who do not consider connected services important to their purchases. I bought a new car in 2014, and while I was on the market, I preferred vehicles that had little interior clutter: no large…

Native Texan here, can confirm Texas IS like that. Come to think of it, I even know of a guy who did get shot off his bike. He’s been six feet under a while now.

Ugh, all this tech crap will be outdated so quickly. I want cars with interiors that age well. I can replace my handheld electronics as needed, separately.

Fundamentally, this is a software problem. The issue is that proprietary platforms shouldn’t exist in the first place.

Not a stoplight story:

Interiors are way, way too busy. There are so many things I would eliminate from the dash and wheel of the 2015 model I bought. I literally don’t use them ever, so I’d prefer a cleaner, less cluttered interface. Honestly don’t care what other people do/don’t use: I’m buying the car, so I want what I want.

Holy shit, is there ever a lot of hyperbole in this thread.
