There were only 2 comments on here when I went to type about my Grasshopper, and you were already here lol. I’ve wanted an RC car big enough for me to drive for about 40 years.

I prefered my Frog.

It’s broadly like removing the transmission from a Waymo, putting the parts into the Waymo’s passenger seat, and then asking it to drive to the nearest service station to find out what’s wrong. While Starliner has a lot of redundancy in the thrusters, the system is all interconnected. I doubt you could remove the…

2023 Voyager; only available via fleet sales, got ours as a wheelchair conversion. But yes, Pacifica is exactly the same with better options.

I was thinking of Tamiya’s The Frog:

This was standard bus driver behavior when I was in school. Some thing, podunk location, dirt roads even. You had to have permission to put the windows down, and they’d deny as punishment. Our district had private contractor drivers who had their own buses. One old woman never shut off coolant flow to the rear heater…

You gotta be drunk to put with all those kids. Like my bus drivers back in the day.

It’s one of the very few things that actually work behind a screen menu. Our Rivian has several (3 on-road, 4-ish off-road, and towing), and it takes about 3-4 taps to get to the desired one. This is totally fine, as the number of times I’ve needed to change it in the last year is probably <10.

Bingo. We had one in Hawaii as a rental. Awful awful placement.

If it does happen it won’t be making moral decisions, they will be making strictly mathematical ones. Detect issue, action to avoid issue, detect second issue, second action, third action, fourth action, and so on until it runs out of issues or road. It isn’t going to prioritize babies or buses full of nuns or the…

In my perfect world, any vehicle that contained a fatality would be crushed. Parts from this shouldnt find their way to others.

Ask me how many times I’ve gone to change the radio volume and gotten the “you can’t shift into reverse right now” warning.

Lets recap.

I like this idea but we can go further with it.

Or do we need more drive modes and have them selectable by something that looks like a manual shifter?

Ha. I was also recently shouting at clouds about this after driving my friend’s Outback. It’s not quite this big. And I guess arguably it has more merit being on an Outback than this? But... not sure about that.

Did it burn? The sides look like 20 year old rusted steel but the oldest it can be is 9 months. 

I honestly think that these abominations will forever tarnish the use of the prefix “Cyber” on any product moving forward.

Thanks a-fucking-lot, Elon.

William Gibson should sue. 

I wonder if this is the Cybertruck that crashed in Texas. https://abc13.com/post/driver-dies-fiery-tesla-cybertruck-crash-fisher-road-chambers-county-texas-dps-says/15145937/

I live in North Carolina. I keep seeing the suggestion on this site that the ‘squat’ is a thing minorities do, but I just don’t find that to be the case. It’s pretty much always a white dude in wraparound shades and a beard…probably recording a video that starts with ‘know what those liberals just don’t get?!’
