That’s a good reason for safety features to have overrides, not a reason to eliminate safety features.

“who attempted to show Youmans excerpts from the Ferrari manual which state unambiguously that the rollback is authorized under the circumstances in which it was done on McMillan’s vehicle”

Luck and fairness do not generally go hand in hand.

There is a misunderstanding in there that I find many people have. The assumption on the part of many americans I’ve met is that there are two doors into the country, the legal and the not legal door. That all the people coming in thru the illegal door could have come thru the legal door, if they just filed the proper…

I’m enjoying season 2 so much more than season 1, with the characters being much more “right”.

I think they didn’t leave in the bag long enough...

That front wing reminds me of the shaving razor of the future.

Needs more rear diffuser.

Reminds me of the early ‘00s, trying to build an mp3 collection by downloading 1-2 songs per night over 56k. If I thought parents were mad about tying up the phone line for hours at a time, imagine how they’d feel if you took the family car, set it on autopilot to drive obscure roads all night searching for the…

You could also make a trunk mounted ice scream machine that ran off a power take off from the transmission.

With that much data, you could send some low quality music to be played thru the cars stereo.

One of my relations, a man of many flaws, believed that the future of internal combustion was small displacement combined with a very high cylinder count. He thought the car of the future would have a 600cc 64 cylinder engines and such.

This is pretty great, but missed out on an opportunity to be a two engine monstrosity. Can you imagine? Air cooled overhead cam in the back, watercooled pushrod in the front?

Since looks are suffering due to too much optimization, the solution is to make too much optimization impossible. How?
