• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    Also, the impact damage on the front of the Volvo SUV was on the extreme passenger side suggesting that the pedestrian may not have been within the car's radar range or, at least, the time was too short for the car to avert the collision. EDIT: I am revising my earlier opinion on this...

    Can Am Roadside Assistance

    Unless the battery in your Spyder is grossly defective it will not explode if connected correctly to a car-sized battery. That is just BS. Most battery explosions are caused by a build up of hydrogen gas above the plates. A well ventilated battery should not have this problem - but remember...

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    That quote came from the local police, not me. But in AZ, if you step off the curb into traffic and are not in a crosswalk, and then get hit by a vehicle as long as the vehicle/driver was not violating any rules of the road at the time the fault lies with the pedestrian. You must give adequate...

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    Those driverless vehicles are all over the roads in my small town. They sound just like any other vehicle which is to say about the only thing you can hear is the sound of their tires. Cars are so quiet these days at normal in-town speeds they are very quiet. The area where the pedestrian was...

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    The vehicle was self-driving at the time of the accident so apparently both the driver and the computer managing the vehicle did not have enough time to react to the pedestrian entering the road.

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    The article you quote concerns drivers who bypassed Uber's background test by using fake names etc. Uber will only hire drivers with previous felony convictions if that conviction has been reduced to a misdemeanor AND is a non-violent offense. The driver in the Tempe, AZ case was using a...

    Updated 2017 Spyder Pricing

    If they are doing a valid OTD price they would be calculating as follows: Selling to a resident of the same state in which the dealer is located: OTD includes all charges (base, sales tax if any, registration, license, shipping and dealer prep + any optional equipment or services you asked...

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    I'm sure the investigation will get to that but a fail safe that doesn't work is not a real advantage and may be a terrible disadvantage to this program.

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    Although it appears that the pedestrian was crossing a busy street outside a crosswalk the vehicle should have recognized an object in its path and taken appropriate action. Neither the vehicle nor the "safety driver" did. A person at walking speed should have been slow enough that the vehicle...

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    There is no comparison between a manufacturing robot and an autonomous vehicle. The vehicle has to obtain and respond to a million more data inputs, analyze all of them and come up with a decision in milliseconds. The robot needs only to follow its programmed path and respond to a few dozen...

    Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

    I know it would happen sooner or later and here comes the first huge lawsuit. We see these self driving vehicles all over my town and were just talking about this type of event last night. This will undoubtedly slow down substantially or stop completely the self driving vehicle development...

    2012 spyder rt just died

    I would have the following advice for you having been in exactly your situation myself (buying a used and very expensive Spyder): Before considering a purchase talk to other Spyder owners in your area and get feedback as to their satisfaction with the authorized dealers. They should be...

    Another bone head move by United Airlines...

    Good lord man, that was back in the 1930's when passenger flying first began. They could not be married then either and that didn't change (at some airlines) until around 1970.

    Another bone head move by United Airlines...

    Other passengers could hear the dog owner telling the flight attendant it was a live dog. FA insisted it would be OK to transport dog in overhead. Other passengers heard the dog barking during the trip for approximately 2 hours (trip was 3.5 hours long).

    It's a Jungle out there

    BWA HAAAA HAAAAA!!! I can sympathize with you here in S. Tempe. It used to sound like a pet shop in our neighborhood 20 years ago but the spread of the city has resulted in many less birds. Doesn't stop the dogs though.

    Another bone head move by United Airlines...

    Several things come to mind regarding the French Bulldog who died in an overhead bin: The flight attendant deserves to be fired. She knew clearly that a live animal was in the crate (multiple passengers have said they heard the owner telling her this) and still she argued. She is either...
