Space is hard, but not hard enough for NASA.

Many of the newfangled things are not great, but you really want airbags. I have two friends that are alive today because of the airbags, each of them fell asleep on a freeway Drive wrapped the car around a tree but after the bag deflated each of them stepped out of their respective cars with no injuries

Comment Just wait for the new operating system (Score 1) 155

I don't remember who first pointed this out to me but these things are now computers on wheels and just like the computer on your desktop the new operating system/apps /hardware upgrades are not going to be compatible with your existing vehicle so you're going to have to replace it. We've learned how to build cars that will last 15 years, 20 years so now the automakers have had to find a way to make you replace it in five.
