I almost didn't get my Focus ST because of my Ford touch. The leather Recaros and HID headlights only came with MFT though. Terrible decision Ford.

I just don't want to loving sit anymore. 12 hours in an uncomfortable airplane seat. I want to be able to feel my rear end cheeks again.

Change that degrees mark to a percentage mark denoting how much off road time and it wouldn't ever have to move past 0%. Would save a few cents in production.

Expecting actual self driving cars to behave anything like a human driver is the wrong way to go about it. We aren't going to jump to self driving with our current infrastructure and tons of "dumb cars" on the road. All the cameras and pattern recognition trying to see lovely road markings and all the dangers is the wrong way to go about it. Thats not how an AI has to deal with the world. Yeah sure, cameras to determine pedestrians and non-car obstacles are necessary. Having more networked vehicles able to communicate with each other is a good first step. So that F450 barreling up behind you is in communication with your car. Your car is reporting that it is stopped. The F150 applies the brakes and communicates that to the car behind it. Disaster averted. Test this out for a few years while throwing RFID lane markers at certain intervals on major roads. Require communication modules on all legacy cars on the road. Now your car knows where at least 1 lane is, as well as all the other cars directly around it. It can determine spacing and the remaining lanes through car communication and current lane assist/cruise assist technology. Imagine how many more cars we can cram into a highway if the vehicles themselves are communicating braking and speed change maneuvers as well as lane changes and exit/entrance behaviors through a local mesh network? Hell, intersections could even work without lights if your communication network is good enough. Now you don't even need to worry about stop signs/lights As far as all the side roads and truly awful situations, there will always need to be a manual control. There will still be car to car communication to deal with catastrophic events. Securing all this? Good loving luck. Hopefully we get Skynet. Basically true self driving capability will never be realized without a baller rear end car to car communication network with 99.9% of the vehicles on board.

Wistful of Dollars posted:Hypothetically speaking: Since so many manufacturers are piping in... "enhanced"... exhaust sounds, could a hacker, if so-inclined, hack the audio settings to, say, make the car fart profusely when you step on the gas? The one on the ST was basically just a physical tube with tuned acoustic properties or something. Stick a speaker in the tube. Mission accomplished. If its piped in through the stereo, then the sound files need to exist somewhere and somehow.

Wistful of Dollars posted:I'm curious if the auto-only turbo decision is engine based or region based. They have manuals around that can handle it. So I'd think it's market based in that it's not worth certifying and building the manual version for low take rates.

Apparently you can't configure a Stinger with all season tires without buying the $2000 package of annoying driver aids. Thats a super strange limitation.
