Oddly enough, the statement provided by the Virginia DOT says that the pedestrian walkway is regularly used by employees to and from work, and that there are signs warning pedestrians and bicycles that there is a chance they will get hit by a car on a walkway meant only for pedestrians and bicycles, as if that makes…

I'm 6'3" as well, it isn't a problem. Head room on the other hand....

I'm going to join the approximately large number of dissenters and say that building a 25 mph car, autonomous though it may be, is not building anything remotely resembling a modern car. Also, this car would be slow by 1920s standards... So, unless Google expects that the world will slow down (while they continue to…

I figured as much. Still, it's a funny thing to see in the middle of all of it. Great picture though.

Now wait just a cotton picking minute... This can't be active duty. This isn't the Polish Air Force.

While all of these cars listed so far take an extreme amount of work, you'd expect it to some degree. The more expensive the car, the more it'll probably cost to fix. But what about something simple like a Ford Focus Alternator?

Let's say a Topkick Cab and Chassis is going to weigh in anywhere from 9,000 to 15,000 pounds approximately. A fully loaded semi without special permits is allowed to weigh in at 80,000 lbs.

Holly Balls! Alright, well responded. But to be fair, that isn't a fully loaded semi. That is an empty cab and chassis.

Physics disagrees with this method. Even if you bury these steel reinforced posts 20 ft down, a full loaded trailer will laugh at them. Yes, the trailer will take damage, but the cost to replace the post wont be fun in the lease. I defer to the Normandy beach Yard Art as a better idea.

I don't want to be on the same road with an autonomous automotive equivalent of the $250 Best Buy special Lenovo. Those computers are terribly unreliable.

And of course the fact that the highway seems to float over the water makes it that much more surreal.

If the Rockies welcome you with some snow, just get into the tunnels.

Thanks Rutledge. I really appreciate the answer. I'll keep badgering the people I know at NASCAR and maybe I'll get to talk with the guys in the booth eventually.

Alright, I've got a question for Rutledge, How did you get started as a pit lane reporter in NASCAR? Also, on a related note, what's Mike Joy like?

And you need to give it to me in less than four sentences.

Travis, everytime I hear a complaint about driving manners of Americans, I just remember the late great George Carlin.

Thanks very much for the response!

What was it like to hit 300 miles per hour for your first time?

My brain wouldn't let my finger push the play button on that video.

I had Scott McClellan speak at my college's graduation, she can't possibly be worse than he was.
