General Motors has confirmed the 2017 CTS will come equipped with DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communications) radios.

It's a collection of lobbyists who are more than likely hired guns meaning they don't have a named client but work for an individual for a specific goal or something to that effect.

I actually pulled all this data last week (just for fun because I'm a huge nerd). Yes. Tesla is 'bout to go buck wild in Te-has with an Army of lobbyist.

I spent some time out on a RHIB once. It was horrible.

I sort of touched on the notion of whistleblowers in the auto industry and the responsibility of reporting safety defects in my earlier post here.

True, many of these added devices and functions are about marketing. But in many cases the data shows they are effective. The bigger fear, and things I've seen first hand briefed to regulators, is the reliance on these technologies combined with the lack of standard in terms of beeps, buzzes, lights and functions of…

Thank you, Ford? HA! If I recall, this may have changed, but Ford held and wouldn't share the patent on this mirror-in-a-mirror.

There is some truth to that and it's why I'm very pro-robot car.

Good explanation. LEO or Insurance?

See. We were talking right past each other.

Do airplanes have a crash rating system that tells me how one will perform over the other when it plunges into the ground - no. Cars on the other hand we can crash and we do. From that we obtain data from all kinds of elements of a crash, then transform those data points into ratings depending on how the car performed.

but this isn't about crashing or the chance of crashing its about crash survivability of a crash

First and foremost, I watched the movie and I enjoyed the movie. But I never came at it with any expectations. I walked away hearing people talk about PTSD and frankly that irked me.

There is something to be said about the missing consumers and I've argued that the rise in sub-prime could just be those who went through bankruptcy, but have adequate and established income - just made poor decisions during the speculative HGTV-fueled flip fantasy.

4. You are buying the predetermined depreciation for a new vehicle at a rate that is normally a lower rate than you would find on a purchase.
