It's absolutely mind boggling that this is downvoted? Are pods and bugs really that popular? Do people like slow subways and traffic filled freeways? Unless you benefit from reduced competition high cost of distance is bad for you.

Pretty much every post-conviction thing court mandates people pay for is a blatant cash grab from people nobody will stand up for. Interlocks are no different.

Even if they hadn't strategically picked that model of old car for maximum crunch factor anyone without a seat belt may as well be on a motorcycle. Edit: Deleted the rest of the comment, It is not worthwhile to have a nuanced discussio

Exactly once, in order to make it look like one of the TVs on our display wall, that was very much connected to a computer, was in fact connected to an old DVD player.

You won't break anything without some big sticky tires to transmit that power to the ground and that (but for braking) is exactly my point.

The kind of people who get rims repaired rather than just buying new (no doubt based on some hand-wavy BS about safety from someone who makes a margin on the rims they sell) don't buy new rims.

If the CV joint can handle peeling out it can handle brake torque. The link between tire and ground is basically always the weak point.

Crumple zones perform a very specific function in the sequence of airbag deployment (letting the sensors crash and bags deploy before the cabin starts decelerating). The speed window at which they will appreciably reduce the deceleration i

It's the wide tire contact patch and not the big rims that are causing most of the problems you describe. This is typically papered over with tons of steering assist and geometry that favors minimal feedback in order to alleviate the

Letting the driver decide whether to coast or brake is far safer than making the decision for them.

As a general rule the people I don't like are highly specialized computer technology professionals who have the hubris to think their level of in-field expertise carries over into issues regarding how to architect society.

I agree it's stupid but can you imagine how HNers would react if a trailer so much dragged an outside dual on their shrubbery. The hand wringing would probably start a fire.

It's worse when you have a person to attribute it to. A bad driver could be a senile old man. A dumb comment could be from some edgy teenager or $0.50 shill. A functional adult who should know better behaving that way is hard to hav

You forgot the step where the Karens get to screechin' and the legislators get to legislatin' and we wind up with some knee jerk laws that don't really prevent the bad but curtails any development of the good.

For local navigation (e.g. your phone screen, laying a map on a table, etc) it's generally considered best practice to orient the map so that North is North. For abstract purposes North is up is the standard. I can't think of a

The same reason there are no rich and retired cocaine importers. It's an illegal industry. Anyone who gets big enough to retire in wealth will get whacked by the .gov before they get to do so.
