In fact, not only is Boeing still making the grounded planes—it’s pushing harder to keep producing them. Why bother?
Nonono, slot cars, 8.5 G’s on turns at a bazillion MPH!

Over 2 dozen prototypes were tested, the last of which lasted a mind-boggling 23 miles! The car could have gone further but the brain of the test driver was completely…
Are these the same design that keeps bystanders from rescuing drivers from burning Teslas?
I am in my 50s, and am constantly amazed at how companies refuse to learn that the vast majority of the time two not-so-hot companies join forces, things don’t get better, they get worse.
