Yeah, really the only way Alonso is going to be able to pull this off well is to run a few ovals again and actually get some racetime tracktime under his belt. Especially with this years aero package; looks quite squirrelly.....

I know what Dick Tracy is. He has a smartwatch :P

I’m trying to imagine the conversation of a Grampa Herta explaining this picture to his grandchildren 60 years from now... I mean for present representation, this would be like if Richard Petty wore a Dick Tracy hat back in the day after a win. [Que up the Dick Tracy google searches now]

Honestly, I feel this more relative than anything. The Journey is currently marketed towards people who need to cram a lot of people in a space, need it to have a warranty, and can’t really afford to plop down the dough for a better offering. And remember, sometimes it’s easier to finance a new vehicle than it is a…

I have to say I agree here–even if you don’t care about cars, one thing you probably do care about is your own safety.

Confession: I’ve never once looked at crash testing while buying a car.

But the fictional autonomous taxi has the same issue, and if it's operating 24/7 to maximize fairs, the places it does sit and wait will be closer to congestion and more expensive per space then an area more residential.

SF is making it almost impossible and very expensive to build more housing units and parking. With more people moving there it gets more and more expensive.

That’s one of the ways government is encouraging the rental/service economy by driving up ownership costs. If you look at the new urbanist agenda they fight even…

Leave us not forget that when an autonomous vehicle is not being used, it can stand by somewhere, and not have to drive around. It just goes to sleep until called. That doesn’t take into account the cost of parking somewhere. Or the problems with local residents complaining about side street parking and changing this…

Thanks for teeing this one up!

In my perfect world, yours would have been the only reply to this story.

There once was an idiot from Limerick,

I mean other than an incredibly precise laser, or an actual assassin on the ground, this seems pretty damn effective. If someone isn’t completely against any form of conflict I’m confused how they could be against this.

Consumers have full faith that automakers will sell them a safe and reliable product

Nobody mentioned the elephant in the room? That Burger King is now purposely encouraging a form of texting while driving?

I’m not ashamed to state that there are tears in the corner of my eyes as I type this. I was gonna snark on politics, gun control, etc, but all that gets washed away when the beauty of the human spirit is on full display.

Because that doesnt fit with the narrative of Jalopnik’s parent company.

I’m completely with you. I think my perfect two-car toy bin would be this and a Lancia 037 Stradale with the table wing.

As a Gen X-er, you’re wrong. We got fucked by the boomers in every way imaginable. We’re tired. Our parents still won’t fucking retire and are still telling us how to vote. We get told we’re stupid for wasting our money on shit that they would never buy or don’t understand. They told us that “you can never lose on…
