Gotta keep the car street legal with the 305's all around. Sure, they could have stayed narrower on the front, but the point was you swap the skinnies and have 2 sets of tires for the rear at the track. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The Hellcats are ridiculous. HPTuners can now port the Demon "torque reserve" function to all the Hellcats too. This Trackhawk has the Livernois Motorsports S900 package. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

On the job training for Rosie the Riviter is easy. On the job training for someone that makes tools and dies, programs welding robots, CNC lathes/mills/etc is not, and it's a hell of a high risk for a business to take. During the war there was much more manual labor, where adding more people meant increasing your output, and they could have varying skills. These days it's much more automated, the throughput is much higher, and the tolerances are much higher. Adding muscle doesn't mean you can make more. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Please cite a source for this. Ford F150 is above these on several lists of "Most American," and many other models rank higher. As usual, judging how American a product is also a disputed index. http://www.american.edu/kogod/research/autoindex/index.cfm http://www.cars.com/articles/the-carscom-2017-american-made-index-1420695680673 http://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/2017_aala_percent_year.pdf Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Th CT6 is also made in Hamtramick (Detroit). Only the PHEV is imported from China. You are completely delusional if you think you can have large manufacturing facilities with only unskilled labor. This takes tool and die makers, machinists, programmers, engineers, etc. These are not exactly people who are standing in bread lines these days. There is a shortage of these skills in the market that is not fixed overnight. Also, I don't think safety and environmental regulations should be bypassed/repealed in order to bring some of this plants back to the US. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Some company charges big money for those Superbird conversions. I think they're awful. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

It's a but more complex than Americans not willing to do a days work. Unemployment is at an all time low, so where are we going to find all these people to staff manufacturing plants? It's not like there are a bunch of skilled tradesmen just sitting around looking for work. We also had no problem shipping many of these jobs overseas because of the pollution and toxic waste associated with certain types of manufacturing. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Companies testing AV's should have the appropriate insurance to cover their liability. For example, CA law has a minimum standard for insurance coverage when testing in their state and I've been told it's a pretty standard amount. I would also say that the standard of care that a safety driver is supposed to uphold is higher than what a parent is even capable of when teaching a child. It's clear that the safety driver was not upholding their responsibility in this case. Also consider that a 15 year old is going to start roaming public roads with little to no previous instruction, while a majority of AV companies thoroughly test the vehicle on private proving grounds before ever releasing the vehicle to public roads. The safety driver is there in case of "faulty equipment," but I would also be careful around talk of allowing or banning R&D products on the roads because they pose a public health risk. Where does it stop? All auto manufacturers drive their unreleased vehicles on public roads with non-production software, unapproved emissions, untested hardware, etc. This is accepted practice because the people behind the wheel are specially trained (depending on the testing) and employees of the company. It's also impossible to release any vehicle to production without driving on public roads, and an AV is no different. No. Accident data is going to get reported no matter what. Every player in this space knows that every accident will end up in a very public investigation. CA law requires companies to file a record of every vehicle that has been registered as an AV test vehicle, how many miles they have driven in an autonomous mode, and how many safety-related disengagements were made by the driver. This is all public info. The disengagements per mile metric is something people are using to judge the maturity of a given system. Plus, you know how active your competitors are by how many total miles they traveled. (For instance in 2017 Tesla claimed 0 miles) NHTSA/the federal government purposefully does not regulate technology that is in development. There are SAE guidelines and state laws, as well as NHTSA "recommendations" that were released last year. Gas, brake, gas, brake, gas, brake.... Fuel economy is horrid when you do this too. You are agreeing with the entire industry here.

You know, considering Trump's fondness for his Samsung phone, we might be able to settle a lot of things by looking at all the data Facebook has compiled. If he granted the FB app access to his contact list they would have all of his call logs and text messages for several years... Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

It's been a long time since you were in high school. Me too, but even when I was there drivers ed was not being taught. You have to pay for classes for an independent company. Yes, drivers ed cars have redundant brake controls, but kids with learners permits are not limited to these vehicles, they can drive a 'normal' car with a parent present. Also, if they wait until 18 to get a license they can bypass much of that. Bottom line: there are 15 year olds on the roads with pedestrians that did not 'opt in' to their education and there are no redundant controls in place. Even when there are redundant controls they are not as extensive as what an AV safety driver has at their disposal. I'm trying to leave my opinion out of this, just sticking to facts. The fact is, AZ was very public in inviting them. You can find the tweets and quotes from their governor. CA has a long list of rules to be followed, but those don't have to be completely copied. One of the reasons companies may avoid CA is due to the amount of information they have to report publicly. The reports they file give away a lot of information to their competitors. You could also look at it like a company that is developing this tech. These vehicles have done many miles on test tracks, in simulation, and in 'benign' conditions. Chris Urmson said a few years ago that 2 grad students could build an autonomous car in 6 months and have an 80 or 90% solution. It's thise last few % points that take years and require the vehicle to find challenging situations. You don't win the self-driving car race by driving millions of miles on the highways in Iowa. You win by driving in places where the car has to make more difficult decisions. Or a poorly signed 45 MPH zone... You don't want to ride in a car that tries to maintain speed to 1/2 a MPH. Even your cruise control is capable of this, but you would be a very unhappy passenger. Also, it will be many, many years before the road is full of only AV's. There will be a long period of time where they will be mixed with 'normal' cars and will have to behave like a human would. There are several studies that show that driving the speed limit is more dangerous than moving the flow of traffic. Even Google cars would speed (as one of the studies was theirs). This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many laws that we do not follow to a T when driving, and if you did you wouldn't be able to get around safely. For instance, the BMW 7 Series has this feature today. The camera sees a speed limit sign, detects it, and sends the information to the cloud, updating the NAV map.

I guess kids with learners permits shouldn't be allowed on public roads either. The difference here is the safety driver can take the wheel, hit the gas/brakes, while that kids parent can only yell and scream. Several states have strict laws around testing AV's. Other states had the option to opt into those regulations or develop their own. In AZ's case, they invited these companies to test in their state based on the lack of regulation. When Uber was caught running red lights in San Francisco and CA ordered them to stop and called their actions illegal AZ told them to pack up their cars and drive over. Speeding? Are you calling 38 in a 35 a cause of this accident (if it's really 35)? First, I realize speed limits can change, but the street view image is from July 2017, so it's not that old. Also, going the direction of the accident there are several 45 MPH signs on that stretch. Going the opposite direction there is a 35 MPH sign in the approx location of the accident. Second, if 3 mph over the speed limit is ruled as a factor, do you think all human drivers should be ticketed for the same thing? The outcome of this detail has huge implications for all automated driving systems in the future. They can read road signs, so if the sign doesn't match the map they have that input. These companies aren't operating on Google Maps, they create their own high resolution map of every area they operate in. If something changes they know it after a few cars drive through (or at least they could.) There is much discussion about how municipalities can alert companies of changes/construction.

There is quite a bit of info out there. YouTube, TED talks, articles, etc. Not all habe as much detail, but even Google/Waymo has some good talks. I know I have a bit more knowledge than most, but the truth is put there. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

After the crash in NY a few weeks ago the FAA banned the flights nation wide, pending new training and regulations. Yes, she put herself in harm's way. Yes there was no crosswalk there. But, the system should have seen her and reacted. The driver should have seen her and reacted. The city paved a walkway across the median, which encourages crossing in this area. There is no single factor at fault here, but I'm sure all will be in the NTSB report. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Go to Google street view. There's a 45 MPH speed limit sign about 100 yards before the impact. So unless they recently changed the speed limit they were actually driving slower. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

One doors-off helicopter crash and FAA bans doors-off flights. One pedestrian killed after several years of testing by multiple companies and you (and others) are calling for the banning of the vehicles from public roads without federal approval. Years of school shootings by mentally ill people with powerful rifles and it's all about personal responsibility, freedom, spoons make people fat and we don't ban them, etc... Just an observation. In honesty, nothing really needs to happen or be changed. At worst, they could adopt the CA regs in other states. Or they could take portions of it, since CA has lots of requirements. The result of this accident will cause all the players to self-regulate. Wait for the NTSB report to come out, as that will influence a lot. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Full self driving cars (Level 4) do not. The only ones on the road doing true Level 4 driving are Waymo. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
