Its hard to launch a streaming platform without exclusive content.

To be fair, Brawn won with a Mercedes engine. 

.1 hp is ~75 watts. Most toaster draw 10-20x as much!

For what its worth, backing into parking spots is mandatory at many chemical plants to aid in rapid evacuation should it be needed. The logic being that backing up will take several moves whereas pulling out will only be one.

I guess it becomes a question of when will you have the time to make the extra move.

Cost is relative if you factor in cost of operation (fuel economy). If this tech offers a significant fuel economy advantage it might make economic sense. Through in env. compliance requirements and it might come out ahead.

Careful what you wish for, you might end up with a GM derived i-drive mess. I’ll gladly keep my button mess!

I guess it depends on how you quantify “dangerous.” If you look at it strictly from a potential energy perspective, the faster you go the bigger the wreck.

On the opposite extreme, a car with wooden wheels would have a hard time getting fast enough to cause any damage from losing control.

“Envisioning” sounds a whole lot like they don’t have anything even close to a working prototype. Ethanol was the closest we’ve gotten to a closed carbon loop and even then it had its drawbacks....

Anyone that expected anything different from the motorcycle equivalent of a Bugatti Veyron should reevaluate their understanding of marketing.

Volkswagen need to undo what they just did. The new one looks like they were trying to save money at the copier not reinvigorate a brand

Alternet option for the do-it yourselfer that you *don’t* like - harbor freight jack stands!

What’s missing in those assessments is the same reason a lot of great ideas fall short - you have to look at the whole picture and understand every step in the process.
You need support for fueling, for for docking, for comparing the BOL against dispatch, connecting glad handles, placing the load lock, performing…

Don’t forget that the floor of the GSW can be lowered several inches into the spare tire well by removing the side blocks.

Currently ahead of Ferrari in the standings so....

Agreed, Renault needs an experienced hand alongside whoever is next to him (Ocon). When new regulations come in, you need driver feedback. This is similar to what Alfa are doing with Kimi and Kubic.

There have been 6 different constructors on the podium this year, that’s definitely a step in the right direction. 
Mercedes, RB, Renault, Ferrari, Tracing Point, Alpha Tauri, 

I’m not sure I agree. Mercedes has always been transparent and has not favored a driver after mid-way through the season once the leader was choosen. Red Bull were giving Max the preference well before anyone would consider fair and there was no way Daniel was going to get a fair shot at it. I don’t know if Renault…

With the upcoming budget caps I believe Mercedes is looking to create a carbon copy team to develop aero while they develop the motor (or vice versa). If they can establish a copy-cat team then they effectively double their R&D budget with a roadmap for transferring data legally. This goes far before Tracing Point’s…

I have 1/2 a case getting ready to expire. Walmart of all places had them online.

Not quite so simple. With the upcoming budget caps I believe Mercedes is looking to create a carbon copy team to develop aero while they develop the motor (or vice versa). If they can establish a copy-cat team then they effectively double their R&D budget with a roadmap for transferring data legally. This goes far…
