I was trained to constantly monitor the vehicle battery temperature after the smoke clears, for this exact reason. Thermal imagers.

Awful lot of 5h1th0le countries on that list.

They also removed the doors...

Forced Induction overcomes the issue; this article is meant for N/A posers.

GM Super Cruise starting to look like the proper conservative engineer’s approach to autonomous driving...like requiring the drivers eyes to be visible and looking ahead; and only allowing Super Cruise activation on pre-mapped and vetted freeways.

You expect too much. What needs to happen is federally mandated standards for painted lines. For example, not limited to: the recent Tesla accident highlighted on jalo could have been avoided by requiring cross hatch patterns where it forked. Also, these systems lack the level of perception that a human has...for…

Hopefully they figure out how to properly torque all fasteners on this car. If you buy a Model 3, be sure to go through and re-torque all the bolts. Especially the seat belt bolts, get those professionally inspected then sue Tesla for leaving them loose, yes loose or low torqued seat belt bolts.

He was a punk who played stupid games and he won a stupid grand prize. He had potential, but lacked education, knowledge, mentors. By the way he expresses himself, I can’t help but imagine he went to a majority black high school that graduated 7th grade level adults. I’d also imagine he would have been an excellent…

Did you watch the videos of the builder posted? It will put your concerns to bed as to why.

The lack of triangulation is astonishing.

“Cheap”

Explain at the basic level how axle wrap over stresses u-bolts? My understanding is a single 1/4-20 bolt can pick up a pull-sized pickup truck. Toyota u-bolts are something like 9/16", then multiplied by 4. Where is the stress being amplified enough to stretch/snap u-bolts? I ran 4" blocks in my 7,500 lb Suburban with…

Jalopnik, stop getting political we all know you’re leftists and social jihadis who are full of crap when you talk politics.

Both are at fault. Rider shouldn’t be racing on the grass and dirt with slicks and 2" of suspension travel while Track management should be more perceptive to the needs of motorcycles going off-road for the sake of participant safety.

Because you are supposed to be monitoring the system the whole time and steer the vehicle if it’s going the wrong way (which is exactly what this driver did in previous cases)? You don’t wait until it warns to start paying attention. If every Tesla owner with autopilot waited for that, there would be much more…

If not painted road-lines, what *should* the autonomous cars be relying on?

It’s almost like a super computer is needed with advanced vision systems that have excellent depth perception combined with super perceptive abilities...oh geez, did I just describe a human?

“They say the mark of an enlightened man is that he can objectively consider new information, rethink his position and admit when he’s wrong.” We can also be partially wrong, misinformed, or mistaken too.

What does this have to do with cars and car culture? Looks like Jalopnik is struggling to conflate cars with politics again.
