Came here for a “she can back that thing up” reply. Still waiting...

Come on, Torch. Show some tolerance for the Dutchman.

Is there some reason this isn’t light rail as opposed to a bus? I mean there cannot be a steering wheel, right? And the vehicle is permanently in some kind of track, right?

Tesla has shown that it will make some design choices out of vanity instead of cost effectiveness or even practicality.

Me too. I thought the word was made up for the song. I'd never heard it used in any other context before this headline....

I applaud your dedication to historical awareness. :)

Finally, an i8 which looks good.

That freakazoid was clearly wound up.

Speaking as a native Atlantan, Fuck the Braves and their country club stadium in the sticks.

Any device which could survive such a collision would definitely be cool but don't go losing your head over it.

This isn’t about giving a free pass, its about what is news. Sadly, “vehicle pulls in front of other vehicle” is far too common to be news unless the phrases “autonomous mode” and “driver death” are included. The report is about the tech, not the fault. And Tesla led people to believe that their tech would protect…

When they build a feature into the car itself which allows people to be even less engaged in the act of driving than smartphones have already made people, this was surprise level zero. Once the lawsuits start piling up I wonder how fast these features get blocked remotely from headquarters?

Why? Because obvious.

Wait, a black producer is facilitating black cultural appropriation by a white woman? Does that give her a pass or make it worse? Does that make this whole article pointless?

Agreed that the camera angle is tricking the eye a bit. However, the car is listed as 57" high which is only 3 inches shorter than the woman. Like I estimated, her eyes are about the same height as the top of the windshield which says as much about her shortness as the car’s tallness.

5'0" is actually short. The producers of this promo should have selected a taller spokesmodel if they didn’t want her to appear small in the car. In this still image it looks like, while standing, her eyes are scarcely higher than the top of the windshield...of a supposedly sporty two door car!

How about a 1960 300D?

Well, you forced me to use the Googles for myself. Turns out that your compelling 5 Minutes on YouTube statistical methodology is not backed up by the Insurance Information Institute: http://www.iii.org/issue-update/m…

I’m talking about crashing while riding, not tipping over. Saying that a heavy bike is harder to stop which proves that it statistically crashes more makes as much sense as saying that lighter sportbike goes faster so it must crash more.

Are you saying there’s a direct relationship between the weight of a bike and the chance of crashing it? Never heard this.
