Every goddamn phone can recognize your face. I’m sure parallax is not an issue. It could continually adjust the offset to your eye location so that moving your head around wouldn’t make it look weird. 

Last time I looked under the hood of one of these, a lady had stalled/got stuck in the middle of the street. The car would start, but the instant you touched the throttle or put it in drive it would die. I’m sure there is a stupid fail-fast sensor feedback loop. What they didn’t learn from Mercedes is limp mode, where…

I remember Rabbits being junk. My dad gave up on the last one when the passenger door fell off. He got a Nissan 200Sx and thought it drove like a proper sports car compared to every goddamn 80's VW we ever had.

Bigger systems than the ones we individually own need to change first - steel making in the US is incredibly CO2 intensive. Aluminum is also CO2 intensive because of the electricity required being generated from fossil fuels. Plastics are generally petrochemical based, and the processes for making plastics are ..…

Humans are the problem

They should respond with prices that reflect the requirements. For every digit of unnecessary precision, triple the cost? Each wheel casting will cost $300k, glass will cost $1m, the tool and die costs will be trillions of dollars.

Oh, I see - THAT far north. I guess he could mean ALL rich men north of Richmond, because NY and Maine have some wealth. It’s still a dumb song.

I’m going to be annoyingly pedantic here. You had what’s called anxiety. The jitters. Butterflies. The kind that most humans normally get when facing something we’re scared of. It’s completely normal.

Who are the rich men north of Richmond? All I see up there is farm country, Baptist churches and a few golf courses. Maybe there’s a wealthy area where all the energy company owners and congressmen live? 

Even if some spaz billionaire put 22 people on Mars, they’d quickly realize that there’s really no good reason to be there. The 2nd or 3rd generation would say WTF we didn’t ask to be born on Mars and there’s your colony collapsed.

The Maybach stands out as ugliest. I don’t need to see that thing again.

03 Phantom for only $85k

“and the choice was either go and see what happens, or stay and, well… yeah”

Broncos and Mustangs? Horse thieves?

The last time I had sex, the word “robotaxi” did not exist. 

The styling of the Cub EZ90 is completely winning. I could see putting red Dunlop slicks on it (they don’t exist) and racing around neo-Tokyo generally causing havoc with my teenage biker gang. But I am not a teenager and that’s an imaginary place in a dystopian sci-fi future anyway.

I know exactly where all the petroleum hydrocarbons come from and where they go - everything from xylene to gasoline to bitumen. Hydrocarbons are extremely important to the global economy right now.

For Shell in 2020, 70% of their messaging is greenwashing, while 10% of their investments were in “low carbon” or green tech. Similar ratios go for all the other oil companies. BP plans to be net zero in all emissions including upstream/consumers by 2050 or earlier. That means they will have to replace fossil fuels…

The license plate frame gives me pause.

I remember that too -Bond drove a Bentley 4½ Litre Supercharged in battleship grey paint.
