    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    Notice I didn't say anything about rational people, merely what the laws and the courts say and do.

    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    Here's the thing with the analogy to aircraft and boat autopilots, and why I think Tesla could lose big in court... For aircraft, there's a tremendous amount of training to start with. And then you need to be "checked out" for every individual aircraft, and the features of each one. I feel...

    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    In motorcycling, inexperienced riders often ride all the way to the scene of the crash. Meaning they don't crash trying to avoid a collision, they actually just ride it to the collision. Target fixation and the mental inability to turn far enough. That too is a defect in thought process. It...

    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    AI learning has nothing to do with the fact that my car's choices are patently defective and certainly a liability in court. AI learning is being used somewhere in Tesla, but my car itself is not learning at all.

    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    Does anyone know if there was a dashcam recording from the car?

    $20M Lawsuit filed against Tesla after accident that injured 5 police officers

    There are absolutely defects in AP that make it do crazy things in certain cases. I've had it try to steer me out of a lane into an occupied lane, which would have made me sideswipe a car. I also had it steer TOWARDS a stopped police car. In both cases, since I've learned that AP is really...

    Elon Musk claims Ford and auto worker union wrote the new electric car incentive bill

    Protectionist scams like unions will always fight to keep their monopoly. The non-union shops will obviously be more efficient and competitive on both features and price. I've sent my letters to the administration and expressed my displeasure. Have you? I know that government doesn't really...

    Electric motorcycles

    I'd buy a bike with the range and weight of a small adventure bike today. I can't find it. But I'd love to look if you can. A normal ride is a couple hours, some off road, lots of road and twisty bits, no place to 120v charge but with places to J charge. Doing that looks like a nearly 500...

    Electric motorcycles

    Yeah, that was the shocker, how limited it is for anything I'd do. Just zero (heh) fit. It's either big and heavy, or light and super short range. Because they are important to me? Also, I'm harping on weight too. And charge compatibility also.

    Electric motorcycles

    I mentioned the weight of the bikes that could come close to doing what I want to do with them. I'm not in the market for a dirt bike. If I were, it would be electric all the way. I'm in the market for a do-everything bike that can run the city, two hours each way on the highway, and some...

    Electric motorcycles

    I've ridden well over 100 motorcycles, and...no, not really. Geometry and low center of gravity can make a heavy bike seem better, but only to an extent. I can always guess a bike's weight regardless. AND...my 390 has the geometry, reasonably low CoG, and low weight, so it's a tough bar to...

    Electric motorcycles

    Stopped by a Zero dealer. Yawn. I can't believe how far e-motorcycles are behind cars. At least this brand. No idea what other dealers might be around. And only their $23k bike has J-charging, the rest are household 120v? WTF! Totally dumb. Not a single one of them appeals to any riding...

    Electric motorcycles

    Weight of the ebikes is a big thing for me. One of the greatest things about my 390 is how light it is to throw around. I've owned bikes up to about 700 pounds, so I'm comfortable in any range, but always prefer light. I'm bored today, and have company to entertain. And there's an ebike...

    Electric motorcycles

    The "adventure" type suits me well right now. This lets me ride around on the streets or highway and then just blast over dirt randomly. It does everything pretty decently. I live at the edge of hundreds of miles of desert.

    Electric motorcycles

    With various aging symptoms, being on a sporty or adventure bike for long rides is no longer good for me. And I tried a K1200LT for a while, which was ok, but I'm more in tune to adventure/sport. Also, sitting upright has its own penalties for me. The most I'm doing any more is a couple hours...

    Yeah, charging at work is a huge variable. The higher end Zero is rated 200 miles I believe (I have not seriously shopped e-bikes, just drooled in the showroom).

    I know I can google this, but...where can you and where do you choose to charge? J-charger, home, etc? What's practical in your real world?

    Electric motorcycles

    So have you ever ridden ICE at all? That seems like an interesting twist on my thoughts that kids who learn to drive e-cars may never be able to drive ICE without new training. Did you add luggage or anything to your Zero? Anything else to make it "practical?" Also, does it have cruise control?

    I'd love to apologize, but instead I'm giggling.

    Hah, no, I've had that board name for almost 20 years. I rode with my motorcycle club from Tucson to Miami (AZ) in July. Someone commented that they'd never seen me without my leather suit. I was only in a jacket and jeans. "Well in July, the pants give me a really terrible case of swamp...
