This should deliver the kick up the ass that the world's manufacturers need to produce cars that the world actually wants.
Yep. The motor manufacturers who want to do it "on their terms" shouldn't be supported by the governments, they need to be dragged into the future, like it or not.
This song came out in 1978. I was about 2 years old at the time and I am 40 years old. I am surprised they did not find anything more contemporary than this,
I'm betting the perpetrator is older than you. This song was a running joke on CB radio back in the '70s. People used to broadcast it all day long on channel 19.
I remember people doing this back in the 70s when CB radio was first legalized in the UK. Every time you turned a CB radio on you'd get "I'm a wanker, I'm a wanker..." on endless loop.
The part I'm not buying is "kids listening to radios". As if.
Yep. This will surely require a Microsoft Modem and the modem driver will keep resetting your browser preferences.
Always-on Internet will also help with the tracking, the massive 'updates' to the OS and whatever lame device they come up with to try and compete with Amazon Echo.
In the days before debit/credit cards, my father's store had a "deposit" required (in cash) of $10 for the gas can. ZERO gas cans were ever returned. They also sold gas cans for $10.
Your father was a dumbass. He should have charged $12 deposit. A lot of people would have paid that thinking they'd get the money back. Later on they'd figure that it wasn't worth $2 to drive back and return it.
I saw one suggestion to put up walls instead of fences. Certainly, this would be a better solution for preventing escapes and I hope high security prisons all have walls. Clearly this comes with a lot more expense so might not be practical for all prisons.
What expense? Bricks are cheap, manual labor is free.

when aspartame get metabolized by the liver, it creates byproducts that interfere with dietary fat absorption
So it does make you slimmer? That's great news!
So yes you probably should use actual sugar, if possible natural sugar (brown) not white processed poison,
Oh, dear. Where to begin....?
(facepalm)
your body will release insulin in anticipation of the food spiking your blood sugar.
That would take exactly one twenty-minute experiment to prove true/false.
Where's the citations? Anyone....?
Yep.
And hands up who wants their automotive safety to depend on a Comcast Internet connection?

I believe the future of transportation is going to be "a few electric cars for the super-rich and public buses and stuff for the rest."
Stop living in the past and try using your imagination.
First Tesla car: The 100k roadster. 2500 produced, for the very rich only, everybody said it was doomed.
Next Tesla car: The model S - selling about 50,000 cars per year.
Now it's the model 3, there's half a million pre-orders, tesla is busy building 'gigafactories' to manufacture them.
See a pattern here?
Try letting the kids play on your lawn every once in a while. You might learn something.
Also, batteries reaching end of life, just get dumped somewhere out of sight.
Yep. It's one of the unchangeable laws of the universe that that has to happen.
Yeah, those old fashioned gasoline fires are much safer.
It might do. If you give it half a chance.
Huh?
You need to put batteries somewhere. And with petrol engine cars, there is simply no place for them.
Tesla hasn't found a place to put the batteries?
Tesla seems to be busy solving all those problems.
Weird that none of the others can...
It seems that the slowdown request is to allow non-chinese car companies time ... not a plot to stay on old tech or to derail EV cars
Oh, that's perfectly OK then.
The dinosaurs telling the mammals what to do.
I rocked your mothers gash last night
Go mom!
Still pulling in people like you despite all her skin diseases, lack of teeth and only one good eye.
Only two beers, too! Mom has a two-beer limit, if you're not pulling down her filthy drawers after two beers she move on to somebody else.
Rather you than me though.
The Hyperloop is fucking stupid. Another mega project to make contractors rich.
I'm on a hyperloop team so I get a kick out of replies like this.
That was right after they waved the white flag and took one up the ass from hitler like a good frog.
So... you'll be sending back the Statue Of Liberty, right?

What's a "boring math class"?
Um, it's a prison.
Lots of people standing around doing nothing.
Me? I'm guessing the package will include Microsoft's "Zune II".
(Or whatever the hell they decide to call their answer to Amazon Echo/Google Home)
Yep. This will surely require a Microsoft Modem and the modem driver will keep resetting your browser preferences.

Result? $10 can sold for $12.

All in all it's probably cheaper than a fence.
If only there was a way to put a small cell tower inside a prison and watch what calls were being made.
Some sort of triangulation device might be useful, too.
