My 240sx? 0 cupholders.

Three key points;

When I called Uber’s autonomous tech half-baked, I was clearly overestimating it. There are teenagers who could build a better system in their garage in 6 months. To allow such an incomplete system on public roads, Arizona also has some blood on their hands.

The vehicle operator is relied on to intervene and take action. The system is not designed to alert the operator.

Boy, it’s almost as if there’s a good reason to have regulations on testing unproven technologies which have an impact on public safety.

According to Uber, emergency braking maneuvers are not enabled while the vehicle is under computer control, to reduce the potential for erratic vehicle behavior. The vehicle operator is relied on to intervene and take action. The system is not designed to alert the operator.

I have these special shot glasses that are split in the middle and you fill one side with rumchata and the other with salted caramel whiskey. Holy crap it’s good.

Fuck this tradition.

Step 1: Throw kit in trash.
Step 2: Buy new headlight housings.
Step 3: Install.
Step 4: Sell old crazed housings on eBay to masochists.

This. No, I am NOT kidding. Put a small dab of white (not gel) toothpaste on a folded up square of newspaper and buff. Then wash it off with soap and water. Toothpaste and newspaper. An ex girlfriend told me about this trick after I expressed my displeasure with having just wasted money on a Turtle Wax Headlight…

Too much work. Just take some toothpaste and a microfiber and buff it by hand once a year. Job done.

Just. Buy. New. Headlights.

That orbital buffer in the wrong hands is going to lead to the need for a new paint job...

what is to stop them? Does the government really need to go and regulate them when the article states that they are all in agreement?

they can easily keep producing the “fuel efficient cars” that they have been forced to

Of course tacking on another $5k to the price of each car makes them even LESS affordable and directly impacts the lowest income individuals in our country. 50.5 mpg is absurd and impossible without shifting a huge portion of your lineup to full EV, which can’t be done because they can’t get enough batteries. This…

Because The standards make the car more expensive. In a competitive market the car companies prefer that everyone place by the same rules.

“Just because rules are no longer in place does no mean that you can no longer make your own and make more fuel efficient cars”

If anything this should clue you in on the fact that the additional requirements of co2 output, mpg and/or the climate change angle either aren’t features that consumers want or the cost of…

“So, why don’t the automakers just follow the CARB rules and thus would be complying with the US Federal rules?”

Simply because the headline is false and prima facie asinine - far from taking a stand on climate change or some such Gawker nonsense, automakers just want a harmonized set of regulation as not to increase…
