Math is _older_ than scientific method and is akin to philosophy.
There is no 'hypothesis' in math,, no 'experiment', no 'reproduction of results'. There is no 'proof' in science. Math is just axioms and their logical conclusions.
Late 80s were OK, particularly for Japanese cars. Even their computer controlled carbs worked, in stark contrast to GMs.
If your in 'cancer country', everything is different. Cars still rust fast, just not quite as fast, paint is better. 80/90s paint SUCKED, great for city car look in CA, clear coat leprosy.
IMHO a fifth gen (or 6th, the first OBD2 one) Civic with a B engine was the high point for simple, easy, clean, cheap transportation. Too bad they're all riced to the ground.
First: Get and learn to interpret a vacuum gauge. Goes for ANY used car purchaser, triple for old cars or when involving a stealership. Old or new, vacuum at idle tells the whole internal engine story, it will save your ass.
Honda, OBD2 pre 2005, 4 banger. Civic, Integra or Accord, matter of taste. I like lite and simple, so Civic (Si or Ex, there were a couple of years of Sis to avoid like plague, early 2000s IIRC, Honda engine and trans were swapping places, Si was out of step, ugly kludges were involved.). No sixs, Honda sixs suck. Absolutely nothing with an active engine mount! 4 door civics are practically pickups. With the back seat down, they haul 2x4s and pretty much any straight stock you have the nerve to tie down and red flag. A 2005 Honda is going to have a lot of life left in it, you'll be able to put off messing with the engine, if auto, transmission hasn't got much left in it.
Look for a straight body, no salvage titles or major wrecks (even if apparently nicely repaired), runner so you can test drive it. Everything is getting fixed anyhow, but you want to be able to drive it/take it to your mechanic.
Depending on the car, consider keeping the 95, get the issues addressed. Cover another 'car role'* with the next one. Keep the 95 to drive into the city, make it look not worth stealing, 3 colors of primer. If you have two cars, you can tolerate a little/lot (YMMV) less reliable ones.
* 'car role': city car, commuter, street racer, 4x4, classic, track day, exotic, silly, demo derby, 24 hours of lemons etc. You do have a six car garage?
There would be a strong economic incentive to make those tubes as thin as possible. If one is ever actually built (not some stubby test run), expect thinner tube walls, perhaps some sort of concrete with steel liner. They will have all sorts of chances to optimize the economics, over proposed thousands of miles, you'd have different designs, pylon, tunnel, berm. Each optimized for 'cheap but good'. They will likely all have some sort of vulnerability, even the tunnels will need pump stations.
But 'assholes' won't be the main problem. They haven't even discovered the practical issues yet. Anybody built a switch that works? Anybody have a design? Station design? How about a switch that works at speed?
Just check your ego, buy an older OBD2 car, about 2000 (in a rust free area if you live in car cancer country, yes you'll have to travel and likely drive an unfixed beater home), have any worn-out parts professionally rebuilt. Pay someone to install all new suspension bushings (rubber or neoprene, your call) and freshen any ball joints, racks, tie rod ends, brakes etc. The suspension, brakes and steering are non-negotiables. But together they will make it ride better than new (if you break a little bread, note if they want $1000 for a ball joint, installed, just run away. I don't mean 'get burned', I mean 'buy yellow Konis').
People say: 'there will always be another thing breaking.' They are remembering having an old car and being broke, having an old car and having money is an entirely different thing. If you pick the right car, it's systems are very finite. Just a few months worth of car payments will have it all straightened out. Best to just do it right up front. Don't be afraid to spend twice what you paid for it, fixing it. Bottom line will still be next to nothing, pay cash.
Expect at least one thing to be a huge bitch/expensive, it's always something. Broken bolts etc. (Many mechanics will run, they're scared of breaking a bolt and getting stuck fixing it. Honest ones will tell you upfront, e.g. Ford V8: 'I'm not responsible for broken water pump bolts.')
Hell, the whole deal is so cheap these days, you can keep two. Insurance on extra vehicles is cheap! Like ten bucks a month each. An old 4x4 pickup is insanely useful and fun, if you don't have to daily drive it, and can afford 35s or better.
_Don't_ do the paint on at least one, 'city car'. The nicer the car, the faster it gets out of the way of my Civic. Thing just looks uninsured and glued together. Actually mechanically great, interior is clean, just ugly outside. Do gotta watch the cops, that's the downside of projecting dirtbag on the roads, I'm watching anyhow (lead foot).
Many new cars run on 20 weight oil. They won't make 250k miles on an engine. Cars are clearly worse than they used to be. (Now get off my lawn.)
'They' wouldn't let you out of a single time sink. The 8 hours would have to come out of your actual productive time, which in some businesses would be _all_ of it.
You obviously have no idea how high the fines for cutting a coastal oak are. Other oaks are just trees, scrub oaks are weeds.
New subdivisions have saplings, duh. Same as the rest of the world. Sacramento also has many about 50-100 year old suburbs (not really subdivisions yet, still mostly 'square streets') they are full of mature fast growing trees and good sized slow growers.
I'll grant the south side isn't great. But it's hardly treeless. It's just a much hotter microclimate south of the American river bluffs. You can see that line of bluffs in the air quality maps too.
Leaks come in all sizes. Lunatics regularly shoot pipelines with rifles. In Nigeria they drill holes into them and scoop up gasoline with buckets then run, the slow ones get incinerated. People are generally assholes.
The last % is impossible without a diffusion pump.
If they ever build one, most of the air 'leaks' will come from airlocking to let people and cargo in/out. Important details like tube switching and loading/unloading haven't been worked out, just hand waved away.
We know women are 10 points more than men in all age groups, we know the value for men triples at age 40 (she was 49).
For her to be worth 50 points men under 40 would have to be worth 13 1/3 points. I think she was 40 points, nobody ever had anything but a round point total.
Watching isn't the problem, not being put half to sleep is.
Nobody does, you run new programs in a virtual machine and have it graph the tool path. You couldn't e-stop it fast enough anyhow, even if you somehow stayed alert.

When politicians get involved, you know it's almost run its course.
Now if we can just get Donald to buy a 3d printer.

Dream on...you sound like a hippie.
Science is _hard_.
Life is like a big long meeting, nothing gets done and nobody's opinion gets changed.
I've been in downpours/hail that had everybody pulled over and hiding under overpasses. I'd be impressed if the autonomous car had the sense.
Whoever has your balls, should at least give you visitation.

Dealers do NOTHING to a car they don't have to. Clean, low mileage trades get a quick wash and onto the lot they go.

Tungsten carbide core bullets exist. Pipelines are punctured, somewhat regularly. Also: expansion joints?

Sell your chump list, duh. They're fucking volunteers! Fat of the land.
Don't sell that list too cheap. Those are awsome leeds. I bet I could sell ten percent a carbon credit monthly subscription, and I'm no salespro.
No, It's much better. The original was lame and low res. Couldn't make out a finger.

Search for 'flat earth', 'vaccine autism', 'creation science', 'labor economics', 'sociology' etc etc.
The thing they have in common? The people involved wouldn't know science if it bit them on the ass. Instead they grind axes.
The connect 2 is limited by it's sensor resolution.
Any modern PC has more than enough CPU to do simple things like map the sensor data to an avatar skeleton.
Sure you can find a use of a Connect sensor that could use more CPU, but it won't likely have anything to do with gaming.

Some ambiguity. Not all rules are spelled out.

For her to be worth 50 points men under 40 would have to be worth 13 1/3 points. I think she was 40 points, nobody ever had anything but a round point total.
Add cyclist neck high cords across the roads in front of 'critical mass' rides please.

Yeah, but the work is building igloos.
Let us know when one of those is available. Hell, forget the affordable part.
A forward radar, simple stupid, system should have been able to detect the bike if not the person.
If a virtual Pepe/Pedobear walking across the road makes a car crash, they've done us all a service.
