I took drugs for horses and got COVID and I didn't die! Social Media saved my life!
Thank you, Trump! Jail those scientists who forced Trump to shut down the economy!
We're #1! We're #1! invade Canada to lower my gas prices! Oh, and there are no Republican pedophiles so stop looking!
If you're trusting the edge of that cliff to actually be right at the red line on your camera, you're going over anyway.
Tell me you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about with Cameras, without saying you have no idea about cameras.
Allow me to elucidate. The camera is fixed. it shows you exactly where you are. And only a tool fool would run up against the redline. If you see teh drop when you aer at the red line, you are probably going over. There is green, there is yellow, and if you are on the red, you are red.
More to the point, it doesn't take a $6k computer with access to lock everything in your car behind a paywall just to get a video feed from the back of the car to somewhere on the dash. It takes a $20 camera and a $50 dumb display (and that would in most cases give a significantly higher quality image than the garbage auto manufacturers are using).
I see, how do you calibrate the lines? And homie, I have a second camera on teh back. Your claim it will be better than the calibrated, direction enabled camera is again, showing you have no idea what you are talking about.
Get rid of the 3,494 sensors, computer control garbage and it would make vehicle more affordable in two ways. One, less expensive to purchase and two, less expensive TO REPAIR!
You can always get a model T. They still have some on Facebook Marketplace, and not too bad a price.
EVs have always been less dangerous than ICEs. But a regular car bursting into flames is not news and certain especially dumb parts of the population cannot understand probabilities anyways.
Exactly. But it is simple prejudice going on as well. People who think that whatever technology allowed should be teh tech when they grew up often hate EV's, and when one catches fire, they go on a rant See, SEE, SEEEE! This EVs should be banned because they burn up! I told the boys down at the Legion that this would happen! My 1955 Chevy didn't burn because they know hoe to make cars using gas, just like God intended! But will those lee burls listen to me? No. Serves them right, ya now?
As if this doesn't happen ever to ICE vehicles. Mother in law had two cars burn up, I had one. This was back in teh mid 70's.
Yes, carrying tanks of flammable, deflagrating fluids that are just one step short of being actually explosive, yes, they burn up all the time. But that's not news. There is stasis with blinders that makes some people hate EV's and only see adverse outcomes n EV's, not IC vehicles.
Why do we have to pick organisms that are the most durable and easily spread?? Does it breed with other molds?? Like how they infected nature with bio-engineered non-sterile plants?
That PET bottle in the ocean becomes food but the storage containers for food/medical or components in my devices that I would like to last many years, if not possibly a lifetime or two... can now rust away? One of the huge benefits and reasons for plastics is their longevity!
What's next? PE? Polyethylene? AKA the FOAMs insulting just about everything, like your house... which should last generations (outside the USA, where the average is 70 years because we dispose of them and that is why they are built for 15 years or whatever the liability span is... we even put low life roofing on new housing developments that last half as long.)
Makes me think of "The Andromeda Strain" sci-fi (book or movie form, check it out.)
The real problem is regulation and the corrupt selfish public (who allow themselves and their leaders to fall for every conman) who opposes regulation on cost grounds (if not that, they'll try everything else, including religion.)
YOU DO NOT ALLOW FOREVER CHEMICALS IN DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS!! That PET bottle will outlast your whole bloodline...in the blood of your decedents as nano plastic helping clog their arteries better; possibly increasing defects when their cells split...(but it'll take decades of extreme results before that is "conclusive" I seriously wonder if smoking could be hurt today given how gullible people are.)
The whole quality german engineering approach died years ago. These days german cars are built-to-a-price plastic crap. I too owned a recent BMW - a 3 series - got rid of it after 9 months. Awful interface, piss poor fuel economy and a driving position that became uncomfortable on long journeys. Plus once they get your money they don't want to know. I had a warranty repair and the service staff couldn't have been more indifferent and borderline rude. Will never get another.
Yup, I watched a video about a WW1 German U boat. I was very impressed by the quality and build of the diesel engines. From well over a century ago! But yes, the appear to have stalled out and regressed.
I've been very pleased with my Jeeps, the engine build quality is good, I put 200K+ with little issue other than standard maintenance. Only exception was I traded in my Renegade for a Trailhawk because of a good deal. But not for any mechanical issues.
In the quest for greater efficiency, you will always find solutions that are cheaper to produce than clean up and it takes resources to search for both, except creation is an internal cost and disposal an external cost... That is before you think up any evil motives to add or hire an MBA who's trained to do so.
How can they say that with a straight face?
BMW marketing. They need to convince people that this is what they really want. And on top of that, it's "young people" that want it. So if you want buttons, you must be "old".
It's pretty easy to figure out that an additional touch screen control have zero recurring cost once the screen is there. That's what the accounting department has decreed. That's what you'll get.
When you say "they," are you referring to your religious leaders?
How can they say that with a straight face? Removed physical controls because young people want things done quicker?
It takes way longer to perform a task using touch controls and navigating menus, and things like that, versus a dedicate button. These marketing people are morons.
