mekilljoydammit posted:Honestly? So far, yeah. If you do some digging, Google acknowledges that there's a hell of a lot of work to do before they can handle bad weather conditions at all, and you'll notice where they're doing their testing. Between that and seeing SAE related stuff on how hard the problem of autonomous cars is, the idea that Tesla and Uber and whatnot think they have it licked scares the hell out of me. I'd still rather be killed by a high speed robot than some dumbass in a corolla. Makes for a better epitaph.

big crush on Chad OMG posted:Bad weather, poor reception (underground), poor road markings, component failure are all huge issues before the future is now(tm). THIS is the part that scares me. Given that there are people who can't be bothered to get their oil changed, imagine the ways people will fail to maintain robocars. It's too easy to imagine someone saying "sure one of the cameras is broken, but there are three more! What's field of view??"

Geoj posted:Its not, but most cops would rather pull over the guy doing 10-15 MPH over the speed limit because it brings in more revenue and is easier to win in court. The cops I've talked to say most of the time illegal mods, extreme tint, and so on are used either as a pretense to pull over somebody they want to gently caress with (eg doing something suspicious but not illegal, cop is bored, etc) or to pile tickets on somebody who copped an attitude.

See the patches of yellow on the detached car chunk where that seatbelt attaches? I think that's foam from the seat cushions.

autism ZX spectrum posted:I really don't see how have multiple discrete CAN bus systems is any good if you send them all through a central point anyway. Obviously this central gateway device would be the biggest weakness and it will only be a matter of time before someone figures out how to make their malicious code take precedence over everything else. Or we can just...not connect cars to the internet? I don't see a good reason to secure cars against hacks that involve physical access to the car's electronics, whether the stereo or under the hood. At that point, anyone who wants to do me harm can just nick the brake lines. Or, y'know, just loving stab me, stuff me in the trunk, and drive to the nearest river. I ask this non-rhetorically and non-ironically: what are we actually trying to secure against? I feel like we're discussing what pad lock to use on a screen door.

david_a posted:The Wirecutter also recommends a Viair model. I bought this one after the last free air station in my area switched to not just pay, but a pay system that only accepts coins or credit card. The card reader doesn't have an LCD, just an LED that blinks to tell you...something. I spent a minute trying to figure the thing out then gave up and ordered that compressor with my phone while still in the parking lot.

Lord Ludikrous posted:Why do Americans/Canadians call the handbrake an “emergency brake”? Outside of total brake failure I can’t see many emergencies that would be helped by pulling the handbrake. Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? Because languages develop organically, are ultimately completely arbitrary, and people conceptualize complete phrases as atomic linguistic elements that they never give a second thought. See: couldn't care less, all intensive purposes, or ATM machine. I'm sure there's some chain of events that led to the current situation but it's almost guaranteed as boring and academic as "why do the British call car trunks the boot?"

I've had people oggle stupid poo poo like a Plymouth Voyager, which I rode around in for years, and laugh at how completely wrong they are about how cool they would be to own. I drove a Voyager from junior year of high school through graduating college. People made fun of me, but I could carry more passengers than any of my friends and had a couch for my dorm room. Some days I miss that car. Because I have brain damage.

Even more so if you could go all the way to 4wd heights. Especially random passers by when the system flings the pistons out at high speed, impaling randos like an automotive Van Hellsing.

Olympic Mathlete posted:Honda's EV Concept was shown at 2017's Geneva show and looked cool if slightly featureless. Of course the A and B pillars changed. There was no way the ones on the concept could fit side airbags. But I don't understand why it lost the flares around the wells, or turned from :I to some pursed-lipped old lady. Did they think it was too aggressive? I just don't get it. Speaking of things I don't get: Olympic Mathlete posted:Early model is the best front, the facelift bumper looks poo poo: I'm going to be honest: I don't get Supra fans.

Mr. Wiggles posted:Gotta bring all the way back to this, because I find it difficult to believe that there was another young person in the late 90s who had my van. But it's true - you know the ways of suffering like I did. My Voyager was a 94 automatic. Called it the Man Van. Pretty sure I was the only minivan in the lot when I took it off to college. Some days I miss that thing. I assume this indicates brain damage. Edit: or maybe it's the wipers with more than three settings.
