The only offense here was crossing the solid white line. Driver got greedy and went for the wrong gap in the line. If he had held back and filed in behind the truck, no offense and no internet famous video. Don’t get mad at him for using the available, legal lanes to his advantage instead of being a mindless sheep…

You must be fun to watch movies with.

This is so dumb that its bordering on infuriating.

This is all well and good, but it does nothing for the millions of trailers that still get hauled around the country with not only the “poorly made” bars on them, but are often run with re-treads that, when they fail, have proven to be very much as deadly as the crash bar. It is going to take decades before the vast…

Just coming in here to laugh at all the idiots clamoring for Autopilot to be removed from Teslas. A couple issues doesn’t mean the whole thing is junk. Same useless drivel came when the first forward collision avoidance systems were introduced and had some rather public and embarrassing failures. Look where we are now…

Except he did - Because human beings have lives outside of the workplace and deserve to receive some amount of compensation for having their work schedule changed at the last minute. It forces the business to invest into its workforce to become reliable (excluding obvious sickness or emergencies), but also forces them…

Am I the only one who was hoping the low fuel light would come on before the end of the lap?

You know, you could put a least a conceited effort in proofing your articles before you hit that submit button. 25,000 miles? 50,000 miles? Come on...

Thanks! Trying to have a nice healthy discussion :)

And there, my friend, is the ultimate question in robotics/autonomy. Can we trust a computer with our lives? Personally, I don’t know my own answer. I work with computers on a daily basis and understand how they work (cliffnotes: extremely complex logic) but if there’s one thing you have to know is this: Computers are…

Level 5 isn’t exclusively vehicles “talking” to each other. Think of level 5 as replacing the human driver with a computer while still maintaining our current road tech and infrastructure. In a level 5 scenario, the car is actively making decisions for itself to navigate the road ahead and reach the destination but…

This is an exception that as of this article does not have an explanation and can’t be taken as a whole-hearted fact. More evidence of this type of an issue would be needed to say its “incapable”. By and large, Tesla’s autopilot system has been an incredibly reliable and stable technology (albeit very young). Look at…

Level 5 can be achieved without infrastructure upgrades provided that manufacturers (at this time Tesla) are able to augment current technology to perform the functions you and I do instinctively. You have to think a little out of the box on this, but the best analogy is to really pay attention to all the minute…

Level 5 autonomy would be such that you didn’t need to actively drive. Musk claims we will reach that level within the next 5 years. The real question is whether the laws will be modified accordingly. They won’t, or at the very least will take years (maybe decades) to catch up.

Surprisingly these new cars don’t sound awful anymore. Nowhere near as good as the V10 days, but all things considered this is a good noise they make.

Cop was a dick for not letting the guy over in what was obviously stop-and-go traffic... but driver of the Toyota was also a dick for just assuming the lane was his simply because his turn signal was on. Equal blame and unfortunately Johnny Law doesn’t have any repercussions to worry about.

Fun fact (if memory serves): The regulations don’t say they should rev to what they’re doing now. However the fuel flow limits and lack of refueling in-race dictated that the engine manufacturers reduce the engine RPM so they meet both regulations. FIA wanted to be “green” but in the process made F1 engines sound like…

AWD would require even more obscene power numbers given the weight of the Challenger (even after FCA modifications). It will be RWD but make better use of a launch control system to deliver only enough torque at the start to get the car out of the dig as fast as possible. Thats where I think this lower wheel torque…

Technical regulations issued by the ACO which make costs grow exponentially for LMP1-H a unfathomably expensive racing venture, bordering on F1 territory just to be competitive. Even if privateers show up, for how long? The class can only be successful if teams show up and stick around for more than a season.…

LMP1 is a shell of its former being and has been long before Audi even thought about leaving. IMSA’s DPi program is looking incredibly strong these days at a fraction of the cost and more teams are heading its way soon. WEC’s GTE is the only racing worth watching. The ACO just needs to pull their collective heads out…
