That's not necessarily true... If a tree happens to fall down on top of your car, then that is a random event!
Regardless, yes the majority of the times someone is at fault. The only serious accident I have been in involved an 85 year old lady T-boning my car at an intersection because she ran a red light. It was her fault, but it was still an accident.
By the definition of an accident, I don't believe most people drive with the intent of hitting someone else and potentially ruining the rest of their life.
These solid motors are practically identical to the ones used for the space shuttle. They have only failed once (Challenger) and the mode of failure was identified.
Besides that, they also have an escape system in case anything happens to the motors.

Seems to me like we wouldn't have evolved the way we did if the atmosphere was primarily Nitrogen Oxides, but something would be there!
These missiles don't actually *hit* the target, they explode very close to it to destroy it.
He was making a reference to SimCity incase you didn't catch it.
Lead is to Rome as Radiation is to ...
Yes, it actually is.
Besides, a good force feedback wheel will communicate to you very well how the tires are behaving.
Studies have shown that the "feel" of being in a car is minor compared to visual input.
I read it in a racing book a while back.

As a former mechanical engineer student, taking notes on a laptop, unless it is a tablet PC, is a bad idea.
Use a pen and paper and get used to writing down equations.
Yeah I know someone like that too, he has over 30 points on his license and had it revoked recently.
Just an FYI, it's called an accident for a reason, it happens to everyone including some of the best race car drivers in the world.
Uhh no.
A driving simulator uses a real wheel and real pedals with a full field of view of the road... Comparing that to Call of Duty is silly.
I wouldn't know, it burned all my taste buds off.
Without the science ensuring your well being and comfort, there wouldn't be as much art for you to enjoy.
Nor would you even be alive.
No, everyone's out to trick you and lying.
Because Art doesn't help feed billions of peoples.
Yeah right...
...My PC runs GTA IV maxed out @ 1920x1200@60fps...
It is an incredibly cartoony looking game compared to the Call of Duty series.
Man, where are all of those WWII whiners...

I hope you're not serious.
It's your choice whether or not to kill those civilians. Besides, COD6 is approaching photo-realism while GTA is clearly very cartoony.
You're right, it is fatal accidents that have gone down and are at a record low. I can't seem to find anything on non fatal accidents.
Can we also have a 3 strikes law on Slashdot for dupes??
Except for the fact that accidents per mile driven have been decreasing and are at an all time low in the USA...
But you keep calling other people idiots.
Those are all bad SSDs, get an intel or OCZ drive instead.
That's what happens when you try to go cheap.
