I agree that pretty much the only way they can hit that price point is to take the Amazon Fire approach. The money will not be in the hardware. It will be in the money the hardware helps the user spend.

Because that appears to be entirely drive by wire, you could move that driver’s seat to almost anywhere with minimal effort.

Steering wheel, instrument panel, and pedals would all need to come back, but it shouldn’t be that difficult.

I wouldn’t recommend putting diesel in one of those.

Congratulations, you just re-invented the diesel locomotive.

The Tesla screen is one of the worst out there. My issue is not that other screens are too small, it’s that I have to look at them to use them. Physical controls can be operated without looking. I also live in an area where, for six months out of the year, just about everything I do needs to be done with heavy gloves…

It’ll be just our luck that it was Haas’s turn with the film crew that week.

The reason this turned into such a mess is that teams were basing strategies around race control’s interpretation of the rules, and that interpretation kept changing. There needs to be a clear and transparent flow chart dictating what happens under what conditions when there’s an incident near the end of a race. And…

Being here to stay does not make it not bullshit.

I would expand this to any kind of touch screen control.

I guess everything is a matter of probability. But if I’m getting on a plane, I would like the probability of the pilot knowing how far away the ground is to be pretty close to 100%.

Most cars with vinyl roofs had them because it was easier than getting the welds right. There were also rumors of some bodies that were so flexible, paint would have cracked.

Strengthening the roof was apparently easier than figuring out how to keep it from rolling over so much.

I got right hooked and hit the rear quarter panel with my shoulder. I didn’t see the result, but it felt, and sounded, like it crumpled up nicely.

I still remember the time I saw that add in a magazine. I had been in a hit and run on my bike earlier in the day with one of those.

“it presents a competition advantage for teams running skew”

This wasn’t even that long ago:

I went on a few trips with someone back in the days of portable cd players plugged into cassette adapters. His preferred way of listening to cds was to put the player on single track repeat and manually switch tracks when he got bored of the song. Usually after a half hour or so.

There are still a lot of LED bulbs being sold that produce horrible beam patterns in halogen housings. And they do it while being stupidly bright.

I had an Outback that I had to go through the wheel wells to get to the low beams on. No way in hell would I want to do that every six months.
