What if we built some kind of guide system for these autonomous trucks right into the road, so that the truck didn’t have to steer itself the whole time and can instead just follow a track, since there will be tons of trucks driving the exact same route? Then what if instead of just one tractor pulling one trailer, we…

Having more max power doesn’t mean it requires more power to drive the same speed though, does it? Besides, it should be able to cruise in RWD mode using one motor that ought to be virtually identical to the eDrive version. 

Can someone help fill me in on why two motors is that much less efficient? I thought that like with the dual-motor teslas you’ll get more efficiency/longer range with more and/or bigger motors, since they all have to work proportionally less hard.

50!? This whole time I’ve been assuming he’s just a rough 35

But I have a vested interest in taking my car... I can't stand anyone else's driving. I seem to be getting increasingly prone to motion sickness as I age.

I know, right? I alternate between finding it bizarre and understandable.

Now you have me wondering if Honda is bold enough to overhaul the ILX onto the 11th Gen Civic platform to make it a “proper” luxury compact and convert the Civic Type R into a “proper” ILX Type R...

Now I am trying to think of features/scenarios where this might make sense for the customer...things I wouldn’t want to pay for when buying a car, but would be nice to have occasionally...maybe something like heated/ventilated rear seats? I wouldn’t buy a hypothetical $1,500 package with them, but I might subscribe to…

The article literally says that the B38 I referenced is being phased out, while the straight six is here to stay along with the 2.0. 

Is it really a bummer though? Does anyone think the 1.5 L 3-cylinder B38 is so great and worthy of saving?

Up here in the northeast, tolls are apparently cheap. $1 here and there going up to Maine, $1.50 or so for the western half of the MA turnpike I drive most often...

It looks like I95 express lanes are $0.22/mile, so a 50 cent toll is maybe possible.

I don’t think it’s an issue of affordability, especially when it’s someone out of state burning $20 of fuel to blow through the $0.50 toll. 

I think there’s a difference between a “review” and “a knee jerk reaction just looking at a picture”

“And how this Next-Gen car is, it’s totally possible to drive into the corner too deep, lift too quick, give it too much brake and too much steering input, and you’re going to back it straight into the fence. It’s going to, from my experience at Darlington, challenge the drivers from our generation.”

The full $7,500 credit should not have been given to PHEVs. Perhaps $3,000 would have been appropriate.

Is it just me, or have there just been so. many. new. Ferraris lately?

For sure the starting price seems high, but digging into the features, it seems like the Acura might be a similar value proposition as before...the “base” Type S is a loaded TLX.

You’re definitely right about the jacket thing, and that being a critical time for driver assistance systems to work, not disengage. Speaking from personal experience, however, 15 seconds of allowed nonbeltedness is precisely as much time as it takes to tangle yourself in a jacket and pull a muscle in your neck for no…
