Are you telling me the X4 M40i isn’t slower and worse handling than a 340i?

I love that the Europeans have such a great sense of humor about stuff like this. If the situation was reversed, we Americans would have had the heckler thrown out.

We have found golf’s Jeremy Clarkson.

I know it’s too small a sample size. I’m not saying I believe they aren’t or won’t be safe enough; I’m saying that’s what the average consumer believes because all they’ve heard about autonomous cars is that Tesla has this thing called Autopilot and people died using it.

Yes, and I know that. What I’m saying is that to get past public consciousness of autonomous car deaths, they’ll have to prove themselves as being safer.

Was going to say the same thing.

No one needs to answer my post; this did the trick.

How did Adam Carolla get so rich? The only works of his I can name are The Guy Show and “some failed car show I read about in C/D.” Do his podcasts and appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s roast really pay that well?

Your argument assumes that all human drivers are good, smooth drivers, but the majority aren’t. And playing music is not analogous to driving. I see your point, but we are way too early to make any kind of assumptions about how much the experience will improve by the time autonomous cars are mainstream.

I would sell rights to my future children for the E36/5, E46 wagon, or - I know it’s not an M3 - a Z3 M Coupe.

This is like saying early cars would never catch on because they were slower than horses.

Neutral: Make them safe. You can’t talk to people about how much safer autonomous cars will be until you’re blue in the face, but they won’t believe it until they experience it, or at least have seen enough evidence to believe it. Right now, the most people have heard of autonomous cars is about people being killed by…

I guess I have to reread LOTR now. Thanks.

The music in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movies is pretty outstanding too, and Zimmer did that as well. Particularly near the end of the first one, where time is running out before the gas is released, and the brass section is playing a slower, deeper imitation of the toll of a clock tower bell.

Modern Country is, without a doubt, the worst of all genres. It’s so disingenuous and generic, it’s sickening. Ever seen Bo Burnham’s Make Happy routine? He does a satirical country song, and while listening to Zac Brown Band’s Chicken Fried (not by choice) the other day, I realized it is literally the same.

I could have one of the titles wrong, but the music in Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean is nearly identical. Could it be Hans is running out of ideas?

(White suburban kids, myself included, were obsessed with hip-hop. We were posers of the worst kind at the time).

It was not difficult for them, as the city attorney now notes, because the driver put the whole thing up as a viral video.

Hmmmm. It just so happens I will need to buy a car in the next 30 days.

Pretty cool, and seems like it’s in excellent condition. If you can’t afford the maintenance, I say NP.
