Reminds me of the lawyers who drive around to small businesses and file lawsuits for non-ADA access. My friend is a massage therapist, who has several wheelchair bound clients, and for years when they arrived, they rang the door bell, and he would retrieve the ramp needed to get up the 2 small stairs in the front of…

“Are you just looking for any reason to shit on Uber?” - yes, it’s Jalop.

This is hardly lawsuit worthy I think. As bad of a company that Uber seems to be what are the odds of a contracted Uber driver owning a ramp-equipped vehicle anyway? Don’t the plaintiffs realize that these are technically “contractor” operated vehicles?

They expect all private individuals to install wheelchair ramps or lifts on their vehicles? That’s a ridiculous thing to require for private contractors. It’s not even possible on the vast majority of vehicles.

I usually just put a “1" on front of all the speed limit signs.

For context, you should point out that the poorly named “Auto Pilot” gave him multiple warnings that he needed to take over.

Looks legit.

Teenage me had been preparing for this day all along

It already tried ruining gas powered cars.

You know, with all the valid complaints about that movie and the many, many things it gets stupidly wrong, it bugs me that the one that gets repeated most is that one.

I’m down for hilarious steam punk future cars.

wait, the cobalt is going to derail the electric car revolution?

nobody like moderation. EXTREMES! ALL OR NOTHING! :P

Of course it is. You just need Aerosmith playing in the background.

Electric cars are the future of the past. The future of the future is wind-up cars, powered by giant clock springs built into the undercarriage of the car. Instead of taking several hours to charge your battery, it takes a matter of minutes to wind the spring with a large electric motor.

One solution is to encourage more plug in hybrids to be built and produced rather than all electric. That way you can get away with having a smaller battery for EV Monday through Friday commuting (30 to 50 miles per day) then the gas motor/ range extender for the longer weekend trips.

I tend to think that there was a belief that we’d improve battery technology significantly at this point which hasn’t been the case.

It’s also probably easier to train miners to become astronauts than to teach astronauts how to mine cobalt.

There’s probably cobalt in asteroids. Find an appropriate metallic Apollo asteroid and send a team there.
