If the price before rebate is $6k, then I am in.

At least he isn’t the typical scumbag “nothing happened, fake news, blah. blah, blah.”

Is an ordinary citizen the opposite of a sovereign citizen?

Just bought a <15k miles 2019 fully loaded QX50 for $39k.

You are completely wrong.

Kill yourself...I mean please, just kill yourself.

bell curve...driverless will be mostly bedrivers that would have been solid drivers, don’t compare apples to oranges

actual machine vision augmented by lidar would do it, but lidar is simply not granular enough

I am very sure our entire end to end signal processing ability is much faster than any reasonable configuration of a computer plus actuators.  Plus yes, we have a bit of future vision called intuition and experience.  Like, “oh look at that guy trying to cross over three lanes of traffic up ahead...”

Insurance companies are a sham.  They engage in state-supported theft through raising insurance rates for bullshit reasons.

Yep, you are living proof that people can’t think.  How are you even able to operate a computer with your low IQ?

Why not advocate for it?

You are lying.  Republicans don’t care or want to help people get into or afford college, Sanders (not a democrat) made stupid promises to get college aged voters, but no rational democrat believes college should be free (even your 30k limit would crush any budget).

If they get rid of the oval and make the track curvy and also reduce the number of cars to something like 24 of the best.

Plant construction goes to equity, not expense.  There may be some stuff in there that is expense, but a lot would be capitalized.

Agreed but you are controlling speed and lane changes, once this is computer controlled you will see some very interesting pileups (as the AV’s react and stop and the idiot humans like me don’t).

Like all auto makers, they need to “own the driveway” so a sub-compact, compact, large sedan, SUV, wagon and cross-over (although you could argue about the sedan but there is still a market). Do it all on a common platform and every vehicle should be profitable.

We went to an independent used car lot when buying my wife’s car and they had about half their inventory in model S’s. I think the resale market will not be favorable due to battery/range degradation.

I want an EV but I am waiting for the next tech node (2x+ or faster recharge time, 2x+ total range, etc).  I think we are around 5-7 years out on this next node.

implementing full autonomy requires a total elimination of human controlled cars...or the less likely implementation of AV vehicle only roads, mixing human drivers and AV will be a disaster, usually due to human error but the uptick in accidents and fatalities will be significant.
