Sometimes I swear these "civil libertarians" act like sock puppets for the FBI and wonder if the FBI isn't laughing hysterically as civil libertarians make such boneheaded arguments in the name of "muh freedumbz, muh libertayz, muh conztitushunz" that the whole goal is to make genuine balancing impossible and play right into the statists' hands.
Considering that both PETA and the NRA are run this way (astroturfing organizations deliberately masquerading as grassroots with heavy emphasis on complete incompetence), it would make perfect sense.
You're partially correct and completely clueless at the same time: they don't buy it to haul around plywood; they buy it to look like they can. I.E., it's not about the capabilities; it's about the perception of capabilities.
That begs the question... wouldn't $35,000 three years ago be pretty fucking close to $40,000 in "2019 Dollars??" You can point to low interest rates all you like but food prices - an accurate indicator of true inflation - have certainly increased by at least that much in three years.

An airstrike on the seabed... probably wouldn't be an airstrike. ;)
I am not defending anyone.
No, you're not; try harder next time. ;)
I had to upload a pic of my driver's license to Facebook to start an account. If the cops are able to avoid doing so, there's a reason.
Your onigiri racks firring.
Don't forget to remind the stupid not to be stupid. ;)
Hint: if people don't find your jokes amusing in person, they're not going to on here...

Fuck that; their target needs to be a certain office building or these "brilliant ideas" are ar risk of continuing.
And on a personal note, if I ever needed a reason to boycott PepsiCo products, there it is.
Boycott every fucking thing they make just for thinking that this might be a good idea.
my ideal vehicle is a trail rated EV Jeep
That sounds almost as useful as a rockcrawler with no reverse...
Reliability may also be a strong incentive to choose a more expensive option over a Tesla.
So basically anything other than a VW or a Volvo...
Hint: it's more about image than actual function.

The criticism stands.
Level 4 autonomy sounds impressive
Only to the likes of you, bub.
we all know VAG is a bit generous with numbers...
Well, their former head - outsed by Winterkporn - just bought the world's most expensive car ever, so... you could say that.
2) Where are the vehicles they keep promising?
Even more to the point, where do they plan to find the batteries??
Personally, I prefer MATE
I can't have it any other way.
you cannot sell a $35,000 car

why are they concentrating on self driving cars
There are "inefficiencies" to rape and pillage.
Since HECV became popular the price of a build went from $150 to $450
Get yourself a low-end card that does HEVC in hardware (such as a non-Ti GTX 750/950/960) and call it a day.
...and never had to rely on a compass.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you didn't have any topos to use a compass with.
Hell, I have to regularly refer to the compass built into my Chevy just to prevent Waze from sending me in the wrong direction...
There were five paths going away from a cairn
Sounds sufficiently low-rez enough to be interesting; what's the telnet address??
I like your re-telling of the narrative; very creative. Good boy, shill.
That's a crime.
Jurisdiction??
The worst thing that can happen to him now is the same thing that was done to Whitey Bulger: "unofficial official" assassination.
Even Chinese tank crews gotta eat...
