Well thank goodness he never made the jump to NASCAR.

It may be only six seasons episodes and a movie, but I still love éX-Driver.

This could be pretty great. They could partner with IBM, developing a Watson-like AI that learns from the thousands of hours of Russian dashcam videos on the Internet to become the smartest driver in the whole country.

I tried, but it seems I can no longer post here.

If you want a science-fiction story that really accounts for the social and pragmatic consequences of ubiquitous AI cars, you should have seen the animé series, _éX-Driver_. I’ll sum it up briefly here — With ubiquitous AI cars, _car ownership itself_ becomes irrelevant. If you want to go somewhere, you use an app on…

I thought squid vehicles would have a single row of wheels, and they’d weave in and out of traffic without a helmet on.

Let's be fair — You can be going 20mph in a car like this, turn the wheel slightly, squeeze the throttle gently, and find yourself facing the wrong way before you can say "WHY DID I TURN?!" I know this from experience, and I wasn't at the helm of anything close to 707hp.

Nah, you just didn't recognize != as "not equal" because I'm guessing you don't spend your daylight hours staring at computer code. Everything is fine; nothing is ruined.

That will definitely help him Klingon to his hope of FTL travel.

I am always dumbfounded when we have to red-flag an autocross run because someone not even associated with the event simply drives out into the middle of an active course. We even had one wacko in a Suburban get so confused that they stopped in the middle of the course for a moment and then drove directly at an…

Ah yes, the "wayback" seats. I miss those.

I feel compelled at this point to rant at something only tangentially related. I clicked to the local news report and the headline is: "SLEEP WOMAN RAN OVER BY TRAIN".

It really is better than real life; the real Laguna Seca would never be kind enough to provide you with apex cones.

Guys. Guys. The solution is simple. Just drive fast enough to blow all the dirt off.

That blurry picture? It's not even an airplane. It's just a triangular bow shock. Clearly, Mr. Templin has captured a picture of Rainbow Dash attempting another Sonic Rainboom.

Anyone looking that hard for something by which to be offended will inevitably find what they're seeking, whether it's there or not.

The Millau Viaduct is certainly impressive, but its central-post suspension design owes a lot to its smaller predecessor, the Varina-Enon Bridge in central Virginia.

And yes, there were some typos in there, and ironically, I wasn't able to edit them on mobile. haha

You meet a girl in high school. She's just your type. You do everything together. She's a solid 8/10 but you know that's already equal to or better than your number so you count yourself lucky and enjoy your life. Then you graduate. You're going to different colleges. Everybody tells you that you should stay together,…

Wow, them's fightin' words. (haha)
