According do BMW it was a autonomous driving test vehicle but only had the standard Level 2 autonomy hardware installed. It was only a test car in the sense that BMW is using it to collect sensor and camera data. They say that they are currently not testing Level 3 on public roads. Looks like the test vehicles can be used by employees as normal company cars when they arent using them for tests. So it was probably just some BMW employee showing a fancy car to his family. No word if any sort of autonomous driving was involved in the crash.

Much like teslas, they shut the autonomous features off .00000000000000000002432 seconds before a crash is detected that way the driver has plenty of time to take control and use evasive action to avoid crashing. Clearly the driver was at fault here.

Clearly the driver was at fault here. Not saying that autonomous driving wasn't involved in the crash but there really isn't any way to know right now. Could have just as well been a guy showing off a fancy car and losing control in a corner cause he wasn't used to the way an EV accelerates. Its just a bit overly dramatic to report it as an "autonomous driving test vehicle" when it doesn't really differ from a regular BMW iX except for some stickers on the side. And yes, the iX ist an incredibly ugly and pointless car.

I saw a mirano cabriolet in the wild for the first time a few weeks ago and literally said "what the christ" out loud. It's still not as ugly as the Juke.

Correct, but in this world there are Jeeps. The Element is ugly as poo poo but I have to say, my friends Jack and Brenna have two and they're very functional vehicles. I wish I'd bought a beater Element or CR-V in 2014 not the Forester I ended up with, I would have spent 2014-2020 in a much better place both mentally and economically.

Everytime I see a Murano Cross Cabriolet I always point it out to anyone I'm with. And sometimes I tell them of the one day I saw two of them on opposite sides of town.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5_64r2PR7A reminds me of those harbor freight jackstands  it's so funny the next jack is exactly the same design, but the welds are better and everything is aligned. I guess the bad one was from the reject bin from same factory. LifeSunDeath fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Aug 21, 2022 |

Read: Poorly Made in China. It was an eye opener for me. Quality fade is a serious problem, and it's always on the purchaser to catch it. One story from the book was that they were making shampoo and all of a sudden the boxes of product started collapsing and leaking. It turns out their Chinese packaging company had thinned out the wall thickness of the plastic bottles to save money. It hadn't been an issue in the winter, but the summer heat softened the plastic just enough...

He was a brand new quality engineer for a line making hoods. A hood comes off, he inspects it, marks all the defects, red tags it, and goes to toss it in the scrap bin. Boss comes over, "Whoa, whoa! What are you doing with that hood?!" "Scrapping it out. It's got too many defects." "No, no. It's got too many defects for production. That's an aftermarket hood."

I think the one for me was when they started under filling the bottles and did just not get the concept that 10oz that claims 12oz = sued into the ground.
