This is a video from San Francisco of a Waymo self-driving taxi encountering an open fire hydrant and being unable to assess the situation. It doesn’t want to drive through the water, but it doesn’t want to enter the protected bike lane either. Apparently in a situation like this the
These are the dashboard warning light pumpkin carvings executed by juggler and entertainer Scott Howard. I like how the check engine blinks. Scott says these are the “scariest pumpkins ever,” but as someone who’s been driving around with their dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree for well over 12,000
This is a video of some pretty genius ideas for taking your ride to the next level with some cleverly placed decals. There are ideas for your car’s lights, windows — even door lock knobs. When I’m finished my car is just going to be one giant sticker book page!

Admittedly, that is a show I would attend. Some of those launches are nothing short of spectacular. I particularly liked the behind-the-scenes
Organized by the Tesla Club Finland, these are two videos of the world record for most cars participating in a Tesla light show, with 687 Tesla models blinking their lights in unison. That’s something. Not something I’d necessarily want to be a part of, but every club is different. Me?
