Awww... yes. Another pair of aces. Although I'm more than a little bit surprised that I got that ace on the TV show question. The tech company, not so much of a surprise.

Hah, less points than I expected. I thought none of them would be more popular. Frankly he only company that stands a hope of getting it close to right will be Tesla, Google and Apple cant build a loving phone properly, what hope they got for a car? And Archer is a get answer, they are amazing how well they nail the cars they "use" If I dont ace 13, I'll be amazed  (3 aces left, I'm sure 14 they'll be a few others who think the same)

On yesterday's answers, I'm shocked that more people didn't pick the Tesla as a sleeper. From the looks of that car, there's no way it should do what it does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cA1doO_9h8

And Archer is a get answer, they are amazing how well they nail the cars they "use" My opinion on that is that Google will dumptruck money into their car program with acquisitions and other things such that failure essentially wouldn't be an option. Edit: this seems appropriate  meatpimp posted:On yesterday's answers, I'm shocked that more people didn't pick the Tesla as a sleeper. From the looks of that car, there's no way it should do what it does. On my way home from Tesla (work meeting) one of the testers was in an 85D. We gave each other a look, I put it in second (from a roll) and put the hammer down, and I pulled on him but not by much. Those things are blindingly fast for a generic looking sedan.

Thought I recognized that stretch of road, right outside of Tampa. Perfect spot to do that test, then hit one of the bridges for top speed, although the Tesla is obviously gonna lose that one.

I suspect that's because it's so unique/easily identified/well-publicized that as car people we expect everyone to already know it's a monster

I knew the tech company questions were going to kill my score. I didn't put down Google because they already have that self driving car program and I was thinking tech companies that aren't working on a car yet.

Question 13: In contrast, these guys would gently caress it up so badly it isn't even funny. Or maybe it would be funny, I don't know...either way, it would be a total fiasco.   Question 14: In what year, if any, do you think autonomous cars will make up the majority of total sales for the first time? Answers soon...

But you do have a good point about IKEA. Plus if you ever look at their factories, they have a lot of automation experience.

Das Volk posted:Realistically this would be the single worst company in the Valley to have them design your autonomous car. If I could change my answer, I'd change it to this. It would be the size of an RV, cost north of a million dollars, and it would only drive from Oracle's campus to a Safeway in Palo Alto. If you ask for support to get it to drive anywhere else, you get poo poo-talked by Oracle DBAs for trying to go anywhere but the Palo Alto Safeway.

Question 15: If AI were to ever start a car company that somehow wasn't totally dysfunctional, I think this feature/option/whatever would be the one we would all agree our car would need.   Question 16: August/September is back-to-school month (depending on where you live in the Northern Hemisphere); this car is ideal for a student that needs/wants to drive.    Answers soon...
