EDRs are mandatory on all new cars, as of Sept 2014. However, many are limited in what data points they capture, and most dont actually dump to non-volatile storage until a crash event has been detected.

Your analogy to skyscrapers is not accurate. Their “venting” is about disrupting vortex shedding, and the resonant forces that can result from that behavior, under sustained winds. It doesn’t help significantly for dealing with static forces. That’s done through other means of drag reduction, and structural…

So why not just vent the trailer? That’s the bit I couldn’t find an answer for.

You take that back!

And if it’s in the center lane, or the left lane of an undivided highway?

If a plow is plowing, it’s throwing all that garbage to the right. You’re going to be driving through all that garbage as you attempt to pass them on the right.

Also, how is me moving to he center lane to pass that ignorant fool doing 58 in a 65 in the left lane any more dangerous?

Except there are well understood, tested, and verified forms of cold fusion. One claim of it being notoriously denounced in the late 80s doesn’t mean the others never happened. The term “cold fusion” had been around for 30 years before Fleischmann and Pons ruined their names.

“Cold fusion” was theorized in the 40s, and successfully observed in bubble chambers in the 50s.

Does that carry over to all private property on said private property? Can I drive through someone’s living room and drive off scott free (minus my own repair bill) because it was private property? What makes a parked car any different than other damage to property?

While I don’t understand wanting to fight the computer’s likely very logical reasons for downshifting, this is an article about diesels, so low speed pre-ignition isn’t really a thing one has to worry about.

So it was automatic transmission, just lacking the torque converter, and adjusted what parts were locked at full input torque?

Then you didn’t need a pickup did you?

I’m waiting for the day when they dispense with the Torque Converter altogether and make the thing work like a John Deere powershift.

CRTs and fluorescent bulbs (backlights) both emit UV, albeit much less today than they used to. LED backlights and OLEDs emit no UV at all. Back in the 50s, a significant part of the problem was from the UV emissions, which a white bias lighting could not fix.

Can I sue Pepsi if someone who crashes into me happened to be taking a sip of some delicious sugary goodness at the time of the accident?

They’re suing Apple because Apple has a lockout method that would have prevented this idiot from using their product while he was driving
