Diesel pickups are for chumps

That begs the question of why cling so hard to the old that it costs millions of dollars, rather than people learning to adapt for free?

Basically all the big auto manufacturers are doing it. The mustang is the one that cracks me up the most though.

Well, there goes the argument made by some that EVs are silent, and that's way better than an annoying, outdated ICE sound.

"That just saved my ass."

Dude, the car just slowed to a stop in front of you. You obviously weren't paying attention.

Loved the guy that crossed over into the oncoming lane to still hit the pig.

Show us some immobile objects that the Tesla autopilot accelerates into. ;)

Just happened to come across my YouTube feed, didn't go looking for it.

There's another video out there of a Tesla tagging a deer. I have to give the Tesla credit for accelerating that quickly from a stop to make sure the deer didn't limp away from it.

Leftwits say they are about "the greater good"... but inventions like this make people SOFT.
The more Americans rely on this kind of tech, the easier it will be to conquer us in the future...
by say, people who live like dogs in a desert and want us dead.

I'm sure there are people on this site that will disagree, think that the tech "makes us better"
And that's true... temporarily.
Take that tech away after we're dependent on it, and as a people we're WEAK.

Most people will start to depend on it... and stop paying any attention.
Why Bother, the car will stop for me.

We're doomed... it's only a matter of time.

You get too dependent on the technology to do the job for you and you can have this when the technology isn't there;
