FTFY though it'll probably look even worse irl, like this: gotta say the LS is the one that looks the least worst of all the predator lexuses. -

The GTS is a bargain in the context of the 911 lineup. It is basically a package consisting of the power kit, SPASM, PSE, etc. which are all available to buy for the Carrera S. And if you buy them separately, the C2S gets more expensive than the GTS. The power kit is, alone, worth almost 10k euronen... The RWD GTS gets the "AWD" widebody and centerlock wheels for free, so yeah, it's the one to buy. The GT 50 Edition is meh, but the panamericana grille is welcomed. -

More or less same size as the Optima, but I'm guessing it's gonna be the "luxury" one in Kia's lineup. In Europe, at least. Not exactly a fan of the looks; it doesn't excite me in any way, and it's still a Kia, but nice to see a non-German-premium vehicle with more than four cylinders. The only other car is the Giulia QV. The days of V6 Mondeos and W8 Passats are long gone. -

Yes, laser scanning is one of three methods - two of which I didn't know about. Still, the methods used in the development should ensure the models are precise enough to have different wheels, amirite. So I'm guessing they're lazy and just do one single type of wheel per car and spend the spared time modeling engine bays.

How about we talk about the hyper-merc instead? New pic: -

Tight roads in the Dolomites, for example, might still not be problem-free, though. However, not actually driving the vehicle in the Alps is a sacrilege. :oook: -

Probably yes, but today, there are, as far as I know, almost no rules and laws. California prohibits any use of vehicles with no human control and foot/steering control - Uber had to tow all their autonomous cars out of San Francisco because the DMV wouldn't allow them to register the cars last month, iirc. It was only in December that Michigan passed bills that allow manufacturers to legally operate and eventually sell autonomous vehicles. And this is only one state out of 50 or whatever the number of US states is. Car manufacturers and start-ups are just racing against each other to do the best in the shortest time, but in reality, I don't think anyone is ready for this technology yet. It doesn't excite me either, it actually makes me sad that this is now a thing. The future of affordable fun, enjoyable and analog motoring is coming to an end. --- Post Updated --- That is, until some hacker known as Ivan or Cheng will hack yo ride and send you flying off a cliff. -
Not sure. You have the game, I don't. :cheeky: I get it that Eden couldn't do it, but all the Forza cars (starting with FM4, I think) are apparently laser-scanned... I don't believe different wheels are an issue for the game engine and devs. Though they don't know how to pick the right files to upload, so... who knows.

Not even the broccoli? What's the traffic light stopwatch good for? 0-50 drag racing? :lol: Automakers are trying hard to keep the passengers in autonomous cars entertained. BMW's introduced a system that will tell the passengers some information about the buildings they are passing by in the car if the point their finger at it. They say that the BMW Connected app will let people order stuff from Amazon, too. But it's possible to order on Amazon right now, via Amazon's own app. How's that an innovation? :oook: 'tis an Audi developed in conjuction with nVidia that learns from the driver's driving habits and is afterwards self-learning. Audi's been using nVidia chips for some time already, and the upcoming A8 will be able to drive itself in traffic jams and will feature a second-gen virtual cockpit with a new tegra chip from nVidia. Level-4 autonomous vehicle from Audi & nvidia should hit the roads in 2020. Basically every company is working on autonomous cars now. It's all the same, just different names lol McLaren 'P14', to be revealed in March: It's reported to be lighter than the 650S and more powerful than the 675LT. -
