Wireless CarPlay kinda sucks rear end. It is basically real time video streaming from your phone to the head unit and it is significantly laggier than wired, especially if large sections of the screen updates rapidly (like the map zooming in to show an upcoming intersection).

And a huge battery drain. Same for Android Auto. The best way to use these is plugged in

I had a loaner VW id4 recently while my car was in the shop. Only had it a few days, but the interface was snappy, and the phone shelf was a wireless charger. Was honestly pretty impressed. Android Auto btw.

I put a Pioneer deck with a CD player, satellite radio hookup with a radio, and bluetooth with a mic in my truck pretty much first thing after I bought it. The only other thing I wish it had was a tape deck

Was honestly pretty impressed. Android Auto btw. I got to ride in one of these the other night too. I hate cars in general but it was honestly rad as gently caress, exactly how electric cars should be done. Unfortunately we were stuck in traffic trying to get to the Smashing Pumpkins concert but in the few moments the road opened up I got to experience that electric torque. And yeah, I'm not a fan of touchscreen-everything but the interior was very comfortable and the dash was laid out very reasonably. And you can customize the RGB accent lights all around the car, which is the dumbest gimmick feature ever but I'm a sucker for that poo poo so I loved it.

I bought a couple sets of these. We only used them off road and on personal property. They were great out on my buddys cattle ranch, where I'm not sure you could get over 5 mph out in the fields and I often found myself half hanging out the passenger window when we were running fence lines and stuff. I don't think that one case use really justifies their existance.

I've thought about getting something similar because if I set down my backpack on the passenger seat it can set it off.

I know of at least two cops who use them, so the seatbelt doesn't snag on their gear when they need to jump out in a hurry.

A note on this, the top three line of duty causes of death for police are covid-19, heart problems, and auto accidents. Gunshot wounds are #4 but they commonly omit that the overwhelming majority of those are self inflicted.

Tyres are deeply cursed by being insanely vulcanized and full of additives rubber, which makes the rubber lovely to recycle (since all the steps for recycling is what it's specifically compounded to resist when used as a tyre) while also being full of wire, kevlar and other random reinforcement poo poo which means you have to basically entirely shred the tyre to a fine powder before you can even get the recyclable material out. Then you are stuck with worthless shredded Kevlar and equally worthless shredded rubber. I think the shredded rubber is finding a new lease of life as a material for making sound dampening out of for reducing highway and train noise, and it's always been semi useful as a filler in paving asphalt (for driveways, rather than highways) and is occasionally bonded together for tiles to be used in playgrounds to stop kids smashing their skulls when they fall off a 17 ft high climbing frame, but the *volume* of tyres globally means even then it's not economically feasible to actually find a use for it all.

Drone_Fragger posted:Tyres are deeply cursed by being insanely vulcanized and full of additives for a while the trend around here was to replace aging playgrounds with new equipment on-top of a recycled tire-crumb base, but i don’t think that’s happening anymore (here, locally i mean) “The material can contain heavy metals like lead and manganese, volatile organic compounds like toluene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The chemicals are associated with cancer and other illnesses at certain levels of exposure. […] Exposure to any one of the chemicals typically found in used tires is concerning, said Homero Harari, with the Institute for Exposomic Research at Mount Sinai in New York. But the mixture is even more worrisome, he said. […] “The main concern is that there was a lack of safety testing prior to the introduction of the material in playing surfaces,” Harari said. “As scientists we normally apply the precautionary principle – when we know that there’s concern about a substance or chemical, we normally try to avoid it.” Crumb rubber often breaks apart, spreading into the air children breathe and getting swallowed when kids put their hands in their mouths.

What I don't understand is why you don't just click in the existing seatbelt and sit on it or something. I frequently have to fasten my passenger side seatbelt (with nobody in it) when driving home with groceries or when transporting food for a party in order to silence the alarm, which, again, has nobody in it to protect.
