It’s about giving the engineering people and the marketers ammunition for the management. Hey, you know that if we don’t improve on efficiency and the materials we use we will have to get a rating of x while our main rivals are a y. Euro NCAP has the same effect.

That’s good to read but it’s not really that much…

I would be scared if I lived in New Mexico …

The problem is religion.

That’s what I always tell myself…

Yeah I thought it would be something like that… feels shady af

I wonder from where they get the data if I don’t have Facebook or Instagram. WhatsApp is a shitty app that I begrudgingly use because of the parents groups and some relatives that I didn’t manage to make switch to signal.

I can’t wait for the time when AI goes the way of the blockchain.

Presumably one with commercial support

Active ISA would be a disaster. My fairly modern car is unable to reliably detect posted or implied speed limits. Sometimes it overshoots by more than double and sometimes it mandates more than 3/4 slower. The problem is the way it is and will have to be done is by means of optical detection. GPS speed measurement can also be surprisingly unreliable. Especially in underground settings like long pass-unders and tunnels.

If the system would be based on something reliable like local wireless communications between speed limit postings it would be a different issue - would also come with a significant risc of abuse though.

Also the passive ISA was the first thing I disabled. And I abide by posted speed limits.

I like automatics but I have driven manuals all my life and I prefer them especially in the winter when encountering icy roads. And I like overtaking with manuals more because I have control over the rev range and torque. If I were to live in a mild climate with lots of wide multi lane roads I’d get an auto for sure.

Use the handbrake. At least that’s how I learned it. Back when the handbrake was a lever connected by a steel cable to the break pads. Man I’m old.

Are the first 24 hours of his term over yet?

I’m sorry, I am too European to understand this meme.

It’s sad to see so many politicians blatantly bought by lobbyists. Their job is to serve the people, not screw them over…

Cars don’t make me choke, but good point! I’d ban them from the cities as well.
