'among the most reliable sources for healthy organs and tissues are the more than 35,000 people killed each year on American roads'

Ein 'interessanter' Kritikpunkt an selbstfahrenden Autos: Da sie das Potential haben die Anzahl von Verkehrsunfällen drastisch zu reduzieren gefährden sie die 'Ernte' von Spenderorganen. Denn die größte Quelle von Spenderorganen seien nun mal Verkehrstote (das liest man so auch in der Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organspende#Organmangel).

Insgesamt scheint das ein ernst gemeinter Artikel zu sein, der ein bereits jetzt durch die rückläufige Zahl von Verkehrstoten existierendes Problem diskutiert, für das man nach Lösungen suchen muss.

Wobei sicher niemand ernsthaft fordern wird aus diesem Grund die Weiterentwicklung der Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr zu stoppen. Dann könnte man auch gleich Airbags verbieten.

Consumer Reports Car Owner Satisfaction Brand Rankings:
FTA: Our survey revealed that the Tesla, Porsche, Audi, and Subaru brands remained in the top four spots, again this year.

Some other brands were on the move. Lincoln climbed from 21st place last year to 12th this year, and Hyundai shot up to 13th from 24th, based on the strength of new and recently redesigned models.

Meanwhile, Ram, a brand that sells just pickup trucks and vans, took a huge tumble from last year’s 5th place ranking to 17th. Other brands that fell in the rankings include BMW (from sixth to 14th place) and Volkswagen (from 16th to a dismal 24th).

Sounds like a pretty nice device for that price :) Having said that I still don't know why Google didn't do a big Chromebook push for this years holiday season. The consumer laptop market seems to be ripe for taking right now. Could be that they are just waiting for whatever Andromeda is going to bring to the table (including more fully baked Android support)

American conservatives and oil interests are trying their best to bury Elon Musk and everything he is accomplishing.

American conservatives and oil interests are trying their best to bury Elon Musk and everything he is accomplishing. They don't want a more sustainable world; they want one in which their personal wealth is maximized, the rest of us be damned.

FTA: "One of the Kochs’ latest campaigns emerged in February when it was announced that James Mahoney, a vice-president at Koch Industries, had teamed up with a former lobbyist for American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers to launch a group promoting petroleum. The group is spending $10m a year talking up petrol while attacking government subsidies for electric vehicles, according to sources who spoke to the Huffington Post."
