  1. But it does have better senses and a faster reaction time... Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  2. More... https://jalopnik.com/just-about-everyone-uses-two-safety-drivers-when-testin-1823984330 Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  3. Look at the sat image of the accident scene. It may not be a legal crosswalk, but the city put a brick paver walkway across the median...not exactly discouraging crossing... Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  4. One view.... http://www.thedrive.com/opinion/19504/disgraceful-dashcam-video-proves-uber-is-the-theranos-of-self-driving Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  5. It's a chick with a felony and a piercing that looks like a soul patch. Keep in mind that dashcam camera images are deceptive at night. Your eyes have much better dynamic range... Most autonomous testing is done with 2 people in the vehicle, so the "driver" just has to focus on driving. All driving laws still apply to the safety driver (You could argue more so since they are being paid to do this type of driving), and there are additional restrictions on the "driver" when testing in CA, but AZ doesn't have explicit rules for testing AV's like CA does. Also keep in mind that AZ, specifically the Phoenix area, is the deadliest place for pedestrians. There were 10 killed in a week at the beginning of March. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  6. Incorrect. There are companies out there doing it the right way, and, even in your own words, it's no more unsafe than a "normal" human-driven vehicle when the safety driver is doing their job. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  7. Lots of fail in the video, from the driver, the vehicle, and the pedestrian. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  8. It will end up just like the last televised round table discussion where he agreed with Democrats on DACA and border security. He'll start walking back his claims soon. I'm not sure what to make of it though. Trump is not dumb, so he's either trying to get everything on the table for some masterful negotiation, or he's trying to load the bill with every crazy proposal such that it never has a chance of passing. Then again, he hates Obama, and would love to toot his own horn that he was able to het something done that Obama couldn't. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  9. Congress has banned the CDC from doing research on gun violence, so this data does not exist (at least from CDC). Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  10. He called you human garbage and your rebuttal was to call him a human garbage disposal... Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  11. I actually think that's #2. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  12. I had a Murano as a rental and thought it was quite a bit bigger than the RDX. Are you thinking of the Rouge? Stelvios are nice, not sure what deals there are, but they also use a unique (to Alfa) infotainment and Driver Assist system (not necessarily bad, I just haven't driven it). My wife didn't like the sporty seats, but what does she know. They only come in AWD, and the 505HP QV looks awesome but gets pricey. The Levante has a variation of the UConnect and the "global" driver assist, and now offers "Highway Assist," FCA's first true Level 2 autonomous feature (Highway only). Not sure what deals are out there on these either. It drives nice, looks good, sounds great in Sport mode but IMO a Grand Cherokee Summit is more luxurious inside. We had a Macan in the fleet. It couldn't go 2 weeks without a trip to the dealer. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  13. Would have been interesting if someone was just out for a Sunday stroll, only to come across this happening. Lol. Needs more video of ventress hunting. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  14. Lol, hopefully not serious Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  15. Depending on what you want and what your budget is, there is a decent selection... Buy new 2018 (slightly fewer options) https://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=468472521&zip=48316&endYear=2019&pageLayout=list&keywordPhrases=Adaptive+Cruise+control&keywords=Adaptive+Cruise+control&sortBy=derivedpriceASC&startYear=2017&searchRadius=0&mmt=%5BCHRY%5B300%5B300%7CS%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D Buy a slightly used 2017 with full Driver Assist package https://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=473880906&zip=48316&endYear=2019&pageLayout=list&keywordPhrases=Adaptive+Cruise+control&keywords=Adaptive+Cruise+control&sortBy=derivedpriceASC&startYear=2017&searchRadius=0&mmt=%5BCHRY%5B300%5B300%7CS%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D Buy a more used 2016 AWD with Driver Assist https://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=468472521&zip=48316&endYear=2019&pageLayout=list&keywordPhrases=Adaptive+Cruise+control&keywords=Adaptive+Cruise+control&sortBy=derivedpriceASC&startYear=2017&searchRadius=0&mmt=%5BCHRY%5B300%5B300%7CS%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D Or a 2015 RWD with Driver Assist package https://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=468472521&zip=48316&endYear=2019&pageLayout=list&keywordPhrases=Adaptive+Cruise+control&keywords=Adaptive+Cruise+control&sortBy=derivedpriceASC&startYear=2017&searchRadius=0&mmt=%5BCHRY%5B300%5B300%7CS%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D 2017 and up has the newer radio with higher resolution screen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also some have the SRT front facia. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  16. Don't worry too much, they're are a TON of 2015 lease returns coming in (from all companies) and it won't be too hard to find another. Plus used car prices and sedans especially are at a low right now. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  17. What's there to defend when even the evangelicals say he 'deserves a mulligan' for fucking a porn star while his third wife was at home with their newborn child then later paid her off in exchange for silence. There's no defence necessary when everyone is willing to bend their morals in order to support Trump. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  18. Looks pretty well optioned, since it has the panoramic sunroof, GPS, memory seats, adjustable pedals, etc. Only thing it may be missing is blind spot/ACC/LDW, but that's hard to find one a used 300 anyway. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  19. Year? Options? Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  20. Duragno's are really nice, IMO, and so are Grand Cherokee's. They only have a towing capacity of 6200lbs for the V6, so depending of the camper you plan on buying you may need something more. Go for one newer than 2014 for the 8 speed and 8.4" Uconnect, or newer than 2017 if you want updated driver assistance systems. They got Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in 2018.

  21. The exhaust note is intoxicating. I absolutely love the Durango SRT, but the Trackhawk is ridiculous. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  22. You really can't beat the Pentastar/8A combo and the 300 gets good mileage. The AWD and RWD get similar wheel designs, but as you notes the offset is different, and the AWD is an inch smaller diameter. Keep in mind that the S model covers a very wide range of option packages and base price. When searching used you should have an idea of what options you're really looking for.

  23. Trump himself said he is in favor of DACA. Why kick the can down the road? The program was recinded in September and Trump said he wanted Congress to bring a permanent DACA bill to him, so what's the problem? Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
  24. You mean he had everyone in a room and told them his expectations when he said, "I'll sign whatever they bring me?" By all accounts I've seen, Schumer left the White House thinking he had a deal. He agreed to fully fund the border wall and give the military more funding than he was asking for, while including CHIP and DACA. They agreed to put together a 5 day funding extension to give them time to put the bill together. Once McConnell got involved the extension changed to 3 weeks and the agreement was called "too liberal." Then the deal was off and all the blaming of the Dems began. Trump is a puppet. He is impossible to negotiate with because once you think you have an agreement Ryan or Mcconnel put their hand up his ass and change his mind. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
