This accident appears to have been caused by an error on the autopilot system (by Tesla’s own admittance the car didn’t “see” the truck) and a human being too distracted to override the autopilot system. How does removing the human-override capability help?

Tesla’s press release focuses a lot on how it wasn’t their fault. I understand that from a legal standpoint, but from a human standpoint I’d like to see more of a “this was a tragedy and we are investigating to see what can be changed to prevent this from happening again.” Instead we get a “this beta testing and you…

If it were anyone else you’d be calling it an Aston Mazda Fusion. But I’m sure those who pledged for the Kickstarter campaign are happy to see a prototype rolling.

And we should trust Tesla’s explanation because it isn’t like Tesla has anything to lose if it turn out it was autopilot that caused the crash, right?

Scientists build a “synthetic human” and then call a “troubleshooter” to deal with it? And this is directed by Ridley Scott’s son? Blade Runner?

One thing to remember is that they were able to produce enough energy from renewable sources for only four days. While it is remarkable that they did, that was entirely weather dependent and does not reduce the need for maintaining thermoelectric (fuel-based) plants.

Fuel economy hasn’t improved? The new one is 1,200 lbs heavier, has over twice the power and gets almost 40% better mpg; I’d call that a significant improvement in fuel efficiency.

That sound you heard was the collective sigh of relief when people saw the front axle.

Which road should you take? The one that leads you to a happy life in the suburbs, filled with tee-ball games and PTA meetings; or the one that leads downtown to a condo and nights of expensive dinners trying to impress people who don’t really like you? Which part of the system do you chose?

That is a surprisingly functional design, truth be told. I think mass production could be possible.

What about her team? Van Den Driessche has already said she retired from cycling -she won’t be able to find a pro team anyway. So this ban is somewhat pointless. But the UCI regulations say, in no ambiguous manner, that her team also faces a minimum six month suspension. And her team in this case is the Belgian…

Tesla is bleeding money and they did the Model 3 “reveal” to try to drum up some cash. The fact that now they say that the interior will change, they are asking people to make the exterior look better... you ask me what they revealed is what everybody else calls a concept.

Holy rear overhang Batman!

Ohmyfuckinggodtheydidit! So much Freedom... enough to make a bald eagle cry. ‘Mericaaaaa!!!!

Have you looked at pick ups recently? When I bought my Wrangler (yes, I own one) I also considered a pick up. Tacoma we’re all over $30k. Yeah, I know they supposedly start at $24 or something like that. Good luck finding one at that price.

Yet the Wrangler is still one of the best selling products Jeep has. Last year only the Cherokee outsold the Wrangler. Considering the Wrangler sits on an 8 year old platform and the Cherokee has been on the market only 2, I’d say the Wrangler is a good proposition.

A Wrangler based pick up should start around $25k. And probably can be brought down more, given that the 2dr Wrangler starts at $23k. Even at about 25, it is not too far from the base Tacoma and Colorado.

Yes, and you can get a Ram SRT10 for less than that. If you Tavarish it, you can probably get a Viper and an SRT10 for $35k

You just don’t get it. And that’s ok.

Au contraire, I’d say that any date happy to be picked up on that car is a keeper.
