Why would the car manufacturer care about that? They are not paying the repair costs, and its unlikely that their tweaking the airbag to fire less will affect insurance rates enough to affect sales.

I would not have expected such drastic difference in the protection level between the two sides. I wouldn’t they they specifically building one side of the vehicle stronger than the other to meet standards (and bean counting the other side), although that is possible.

As a not pilot, I’m impressed with pilots ability to keep a calm head during emergencies. This guy had recovered from a stall, found and maneuvered to a landing area, went thru several engine restart attempts in a little over a minute. I guess that’s what pilots are supposed to do.

Because people won’t stop texting in their cars.

I really don’t understand what problem this is suppose to solve.

I hope the red coated person survived. That looked awful.

While all that is correct, you skipped over the part where it will be 2/3rds less phone. Produces don’t get to set the prices, but they do get to pick components.

Can I disagree? Canada and Mexico doesn’t win. No one wins. Everyone looses.

So volvo had the oddball inline 5 engine. Why 5? Because you can’t mount an inline six transverse between the wheels, but you can a 5.

There is a relatively easy solution there, if you are starting with a dual clutch.

It doesn’t really matter if you buy new or used.

Potentially, yes (although not if they are CRT’s). Car windows can weight up to 100lbs. You can get a dozen cameras that will weigh under a pound (all together). The VR headset is another pound or two.

18kg is close to 1%. In the racing world, teams go to absurd lengths to save far less than that.

On a slightly more serious note, a much younger me thought it would be a great idea to get rid of all windows entirely, replacing them with cameras and monitors (in todays words, VR would probably be better). You get significant weight savings, and you can put the driver further away from the front of the car, perhaps…

1.4kg is a tad over 3lbs. As far as weight saving measures go, that’s somewhat significant. It’s also far more than I thought one could save by redesigning the windshield wiper arms. Since they are 77% lighter, that makes the previous version almost 5lbs. Now, I never weighed the wiper arms on various cars, but that…

That’s not quiet what Harley is trying to do. They were wildly successful at convincing their clientele that they stand above all the competition. They were able to charge an enormous premium for what is in many ways an inferior product. The trouble is that their clients are aging out of bike buying age and the…

Thank you! I was wondering

The more I learn about space, the less sense this makes.

Not in limp mode it isn’t.

I propose a simple solution. Buy the manual. Seriously, why do they even make a z06 in an auto?
