“Autonomous land vehicle”...what a mouthful.

That’s a keeper--well done.  I wish I suggested it.

I agree. It’s absolutely bonkers nuts that this weapon is allowed to be legal.

BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH!

So that’s the president of Argentina. I thought it was Mini-Wolverine.

Besides, the V12 is basically a pair of Ford V6s bolted together, so how bad could the maintenance possibly be?

1. Laser emitters for ranging/terrain definition scanning.

No, that’s it. They think they’re going sufficiently fast enough, relative to the speed limit, to be entitled to hang out in the left lane. I also suspect that people are not checking their rearviews frequently enough.

True, but what do people think “fast lane” means? Because there are some folks that definitely camp there because they are doing 10 over even though they aren’t passing, but that doesn’t feel like the core issue.

Colloquially we often refer to the left lane as the “fast” lane, so it’s hardly surprising a lot of people don’t know it’s for passing. My state has signs saying the left lane is for passing, but many states don’t. I’m grateful that my father had done a stint as a long-haul trucker and set me straight early on.

The police in my town have that same gadget, and I’ve seen people strapped into it during demonstrations. 

I used to think everyone was an asshole and then I learned a lot of them had no idea. So I guess stupid rather than an asshole, because surely at some point that information was put in front of them or at least they could discern it from people aggressively cutting around them and flipping them off every day.

I took drivers ed way back in the 1980s, but having taught a millennial and two gen Z drivers, I have a list:

I would require the youths to use their phones in a simulator designed to show them how distracted driving affects their ability to safely react to unexpected situations. This might not eliminate the problem, but it would at least give them an idea about potentially fatal watching influencers or responding to texts on…

Given how today’s cars surround the driver and passengers in a cocoon of steel and cushy air bags with ABS and ESC, today’s dipshit teens need the Fear Of God when driving a car at just how horrendous it is when something goes wrong since they’re so well protected versus driving a Sixties dinosaur.

The left lane is the passing lane.

There are blatantly bad cars and blatantly good cars featured on NPOND and then there’s this 300M. And its low miles and appearing to be in jaw-dropping shape for its age, that’s points for an above-average price being worthy of a premium.

There are builders who have been piping wimpy sound effects to the cab, so that is true. But what Dodge and now Maserati are planning a whole new level of fakery with the “revving” audible to outsiders. IE: Dodge is first at the all-in silliness.

So basically they’re ripping off what Dodge announced many months ago what they’re doing to the Charger EV—how “innovative”.

After living with my Kona EV with SLOW (70kw peak but averages more around 40-50 kw) DC fast charging and also a mediocre range (from 220-300 miles a charge) for a year and put 23k miles on it in the said year...
