But how are those sales being made? Thousands upon thousands on the hood? Fleet sales? Lincoln is proving it has a future. Cadillac surely has not.

I'd be quicker to downgrade GM than Ford. At least Ford has figured out how to make a luxury vehicle and still has their EV tax credits

Shhhh! Don't let people know about these! They are GREAT buys

No. GPS is entirely independent of data. How were those Garmins working before cell data? Each GPS satellite sends a unique, coded message, which your receiver reads, and checks against a reference. Using this reference and 4 GPS satellite signals, the receiver triangulates your position and adjusts its timing

The death of Fiat in America will surely follow in the next few years

I can’t think of a single tech advancement that was predicted 50 years out. There’s quite literally no merit to those predictions. Modern computing hasn’t even existed as long as their prediction span. If they had that prediction capability, they should be using it on the stock market

50 years? Nah. Think about the world 50 years ago. We've come so far in such a short time, it's insane. Modern coding only started about 40 years ago, if that. I just think it's insane to consider changing legislation for backwards facing front passengers, when a car can't even robustly navigate a highway with

So, no one has proven that they can make a car reliably autonomous, but they're already pushing for legislation on completely driverless cars? I don't think anyone is thinking this situation through

My parent's Accord engages then brakes when passing large trucks and trailers. Combine that with the intrusive lane departure alert, and you just end up shutting everything off that they paid a couple grand for. I nearly had a panic attack when the car slammed on its brakes while passing a truck towing a trailer.

Honestly, if they're as good as the sedans, they'll probably do very well

Ah yes, the argument to use at one’s convenience. I assume you never exceed the speed limit then, which is also law?

On the flat back road where I can see for miles in either direction? Not really. I often do, but when the only other thing on the road is a pancaked raccoon, it's not really necessary

It also doesn't help that the notifications are typically not very gentle. They're often very intrusive, which, unless I'm quite actually about to merge into another vehicle, is really unnecessary. Do you need to screech and vibrate the wheel when I cross a lane with no one in it? No

They’ll sell dozens of these

Make it a plug-in, and I'm sold! It looks crazy space efficient

I’m not sure if there were enough specific benefits of the rotary in the RX-8 to really justify this. An inline 4 would have been packaged fine

That much power to the front wheels of a car that old? Lmao, no

The Saturn V is the reason the Apollo program stopped, and it holds the same fundamental flaws that will ultimately make the SLS pointless. The vast, vast majority of energy needed for space travel is leaving the Earth's surface. The bigger you make a rocket, the bigger it has to be to lift its own ass into space.

if a commercial launch vehicle like the SpaceX Falcon 9 is use”
