And besides, if the repairs are $5000 CDN, you’re out, what $36.79 US?????

The headlamp fluid was probably due for a change.

Bernie’s waiting for some despot to make the payment for him, ensuring a race is moved to some shitty country in the not too distant future?

All because her daughter happened to marry a wealthy hobbit :(

It should be self evident that the semi made an unsafe left turn. The only issue is why the driver, auto-braking, and Autopilot system did not prevent the collision.

Plus auto braking is soon to be legally required for all vehicles.

Correct. Emergency brake assist is quite common these days across a lot of brands, and is definitely fully legal. Describing it as a separate emergency brake assist system says “Hey guys, this could have happened to any of a dozen different car companies - don’t blame our autopilot!”

No, without Autopilot he would’ve had to pay attention and would’ve actually been driving the car, easily spotting the truck and there wouldn’t have even been a close call.

I’m presuming their portrayal of Autopilot and Auto-Braking as two separate systems was designed around possible rules prohibiting self-driving systems in some jurisdictions. It means they would still have a feature to sell, even if local laws meant the drivers had to stay in control.

Are the Buicks they sell there actual Buicks (same as US Buicks)? I thought they were just rebadging Opels.

Buick and Lincoln- the two most, “How are you still alive,” brands.

Go listen to the 3L-V10s or even the first era of the 2.4L-V8s which were revving to over 20K. Then go a little further back and listen to the 3.5L V12 Ferrari, its all about the noise.

I am a woman of simple tastes. Take a simple car, make it lighter, and add some purposeful looking aerodynamics and you have my attention. The new Lotus Elise Race 250 looks like all that is right with racecars—and Lotus says it’s their fastest racing Elise yet.

Keeping trucks and Jeeps stateside actually makes sense. Producing vehicles in the US is more expensive than Mexico. So with the higher profit margin vehicles here, and lower profit margin vehicles in other places, the entire product line can be profitable while still being meeting the fluctuating needs of the company.

1st gear: Market saturation. Everyone who wants one, has one. People now keep their vehicles an average of what, 6 or 7 years? Extrapolate your next sales spike from that.
