His point is NHTSA’s findings are irrelevant to the given vehicle, given it can’t run that software at all and can’t be upgraded to support that software. The recall mentioned does not include that model year at all.

Except they didn’t, the car in question predated FSD and can’t be upgraded to support it...

It looks a lot like, and is priced a lot like, the GV60. Just a tad sleeker/squished down. Which I like.

Agreed. I’ve been in an Infiniti Qsomething that picked me up as an Uber ride. It took me a second to even notice the rear view mirror was actually a screen.

I drive slightly offset so I can see brake lights. Of course this falls down when the number of cars driving around with brake lights out is shockingly high.

Agreed - needs to be produced in the same USA factory as Volvo EVs for that $7500 tax credit but the $60K pricing eliminates it from consideration so it needs to be $55K because no way this is going to qualify as an SUV.

This, unless you drive a truck SUV it’s hard to see past the vehicle in front of you.  I’m in the south the land of bro dozers, hell I can’t even see backing out of a damn parking spot if there is any oncoming traffic.

...owned by the same parent company.

But that would have cost them $3.25 EACH vehicle. After spending over $700 on marketing per vehicle there just isn’t any profit left! 

Without question, the Lumin Corn

“It’s also got a rear electric motor.”

I’ve been to a fair share of car museums, but the Peterson is the gold standard. The vault tour with mechanics that have Jay Leno encyclopedia knowledge on cars was awesome. The fact they rotate out cars and drive every single one is amazing.

New car smell is just a cocktail of adhesives outgassing.

This is a pretty fair question - I am “that guy” who will flash/honk/wave at the person who has clearly forgotten that they’re only running DRLs and are totally invisible from the rear.  I get a lot of opportunities, sadly.

Not usually a big fan of government mandates to add features to a car, but I could get behind one or both of:

It’s a poor design, that’s for sure. But that sort of describes almost everything coming out of VAG at the moment - uninspired, impractical, and awkward.

Okay, so it specifies non-nighttime. Here’s the question - do DRLs increase the risk of nighttime collisions because people see some light cast in front of their car and are too stupid to turn on their headlights, getting them t-boned or rear-ended?

I go the the Petersen every time I am in LA. It’s always worth checking out the new exhibits.

When ambient light conditions are lower, say, during dawn or dusk, DRLs reduce crash risk by 20.3 percent, which is a huge jump from the average reduction of 8.8 percent. Of course, that’s because DRLs come on automatically, radiating in place of the car’s headlights, which drivers may be less likely to remember…
