“2nd Gear: Former NHTSA Head Thinks We’re Moving Too Fast On Autonomous Cars”

The Encore looks like the Caddyshack gopher to me. It’s like Buick saw the hamster Kia commercials and took design inspiration from the hamsters not the car.

Reminds me of a joke - why don’t the British make computers?

He was driving way too high.

I can’t find it right now, but Amazon TV used to have a series of them. They were one continuous shot out the front window of the train for hours. Some lines through breathtaking mountains, some through forests, and some through quaint towns. They were awesome for putting my firstborn to sleep and just draining the…

Well, that sure isn’t going to help the economy in a relatively under-developed Central Asian nation. Interesting to see how this turns out, because this is one of those decisions so pointless even authoritarian regimes generally avoid them. He can’t fall back on religion either, there’s nowhere near the sort of…

That whole McLaren makes a good chassis is a load of crapola. It may be their strongest asset, but they struggled mightily even when they had the turbo Merc engine the last year before switching to the grenading Honda powerplants. McLaren, at best, is a midfield competitor now. They will not have the top power, top…

Sadly if you try to watch it your tv will blow up three fourths through.

Wow is this a dumb take. You can charge your EV at home. You can’t fill up your gas car at home.

I’m not sure if I like its looks or not, but it definitely feels like it came from the set of the original Robocop.

Well, it’s an hour away, but probably 2 or 3 hours back.

Exactly. The tech needs to be adopted by the masses to drive cost down and spread to all model types, and the Bland Crossover(tm) is the path of least resistance, pun intended. I have no desire to buy a crossover, but I do want an electric car that isn’t a subcompact, and I see this as a win that can bring me an…

You have no idea how many people come in to the Tesla store and ask when we are gonna make a real SUV. These things have a more traditional SUV/crossover look than the Model X.

I chose my eGolf precisely because it doesn’t stand out. And it’s a Golf, and it was designed from the ground up to be either electric or dinosaur er I mean ICE.

Exactly this. They actually tried to call the Bolt a crossover but nobody was fooled. IDK why they didn’t just make it a proper CUV and rake in the cash.

Ditto; and supposedly the Niro EV will have a lower drag coefficient than the Bolt, despite its crossover shape. Go figure... GM just didn’t want to cannibalize its own crossover/SUV sales.

“Oh hello, nothing out of the ordinary here fellow neighbor.“

Too bad there’s so much resistance.

Behold Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport. I could tell you it used to be a middle school gymnasium, and you wouldn’t be sure if I was joking or not.
