Meh, in my experience most muggles don’t have a problem with HOA restrictions. These are the same people who don’t understand why anyone would want to change their own oil with a $19 quick lube joint right down the road and think if they hear even a little slayer on a weekend afternoon they might end up out of god’s…

For a computer blah blah blah blah

I do see a lot of cars on the side of the road due to black ice, hydroplaning, pothole collision and other things.

Yes, but it doesn’t even require hackers, as it’s only a matter of time when the thermal defects are discovered in some of the components. The diodes & transformers in your 81 F150s alternator can ruin your day. The semiconductors in self driving cars can ruin a few lives, when their defects rear their ugly heads.

So electrical failure at highway speeds is perfectly okay then because robots.

You allude to another factor....hackers cant do nearly as much carnage with an 81 f150 as they could with an autonomous vehicle. I cant wait for the first hack where people die in an a-car because they gave up all control. Its not a question of if but only when.

Any such vehicle would be designed with a failsafe

I’m not a pilot either. However, it appears as if the real culprit of the hard impact is gravity. If the earth had less mass the impact wouldn’t have been as severe.

Ugh. It’s the typical Mid-Atlantic/Northeast smugness, that comes ESPECIALLY hard from Alissa.

Finally:

Maybe somebody should mention, Ford hasn’t always been just about cars. They have also made things like airplanes, farm equipment, and Kingsford charcoal briquets.

I can’t tell which I find more irritating between the three issues desperately grappling for my disdain. Is it the fact that Gizmodo ran an article about the auto industry like this instead of Jalopnik that bothers me? Maybe it was the unapologetic contempt for the subject matter of the article. I’m pretty sure,…

As long as they still make the Mustang and F series. I couldn’t care less what else they make.

I hear all the time, “mass transit”. Works in places like LA, NYC, Chicago

yeah.. finally. /s

Not the inventor of the automobile, not even close.

There, fixed it for you.

It’s coming. I was entertained by how she dismissed on an industry that has driven industrial design, fashion, social change, empowerment, architecture AND technological innovation for over 100 years in the last two paragraphs. All the cool kids are doing it...

I liked the old interior, it never felt too “museum-y”. The cars felt very real, and not like the ephemeral possessions of some snobby automotive elite. Need to check out the new place over the holidays. And I think the aero-tailights theme is pretty obvious. Cars are about going places after all, so the dynamism…

“How fitting then, to glorify the last hurrah of gasoline”
