Bean counters to the left of me, dickheads to the right. Here I am stuck with a shitty OS....

Gotta remember that Android Automotive =/= Android Auto.

Damn... I had that one in my clipboard but you beat me to it. :P

I was hoping Lotus was going to redefine the EV sports car when they announced they were going to make EVs, not make a Tesla-swapped Urus.

I am disappointed.

So long as they actually make sense, certainly. More in-depth background checks, even for private citizen to private citizen sales, I’d go for. Unfortunately, our current political climate is a duopoly of extremes, with the far-right pushing for Mah Freedumz! and the far-left pushing for a ban on most or all firearms…

Lipstick on a pig.

Most would and probably should park someplace else, but if you’re willing to risk the ding, then you're the hero we need, not the hero we deserve.

The only specification the system would be able to control is Toe. Caster, camber and all the rest would still have to be fixed the old way. I shudder to think of how expensive, heavy, complicated, and prone to failure a system that could actually adjust those things in real time would be.

Honestly, the turn signal would be enough. The problem with traditional parking is that the idiots behind you don’t realize what you’re trying to do until they are already too close to let you back into the spot even if you properly signal. With this there is no chance of that. I’ll give them that one point. Still…

Certainly a killer for ride quality, handling, and MSRP. Not sure about anything else.

Oh good, now people who already can’t park will spend an extra minute figuring out how to get into the crabwalk parking mode while blocking traffic. 

I mean, it’s a development demo, not a production demo. It’s gonna have some zipties holding shit together. 

In the case of the commercial, fuck the (fictional) person in the silver SUV for parking like a complete ass. They deserve to not be able to get back into their vehicle without crawling over their center console.

*unsprung, and based on the fact that people are enthusiastic about “sports cars” that weight the better part of 5,000lbs on 20in wheels, nah, not nearly enough people care about weight no matter where it resides within the vehicle.

We do. We just don’t get upset about things the way others do... which is why we’re the responsible ones. 

Looks like the same bullshit over-the-top-Michael-Bay-but-even-more-of-it-is-bad-CGI I’ve come to expect from DC moves. Can’t do it.

Not yet anyway, but if this shit keeps up that isn’t nearly as assured.

Perhaps the responsible ones are also the ones not quick to anger over a few assholes dotted about the country, or over anything for that matter. 

I’m sure I could dig into a bunch of studies and find some statistics that I could use to write an eloquent rebuttal... But it’s too early in the morning, it’s an internet comments section, and I need to go to work.
