Re: Go woke, or go broke...
I've not watched any of the reveal videos but those wheels with very limited suspension travel are shit, for that reason alone I'm out.
Otherwise I'm not sure what jaguar should have done, customers wanting an SUV will buy LR and anyone wanting a large family car was shafted when diesel fell out of fashion.
My Jag is brilliant on paper but in reality is pretty dull to drive. I suspect most modern cars are the same and have become a boring commodity.
I want autonomous vehicles that I can control drunk, driving has lost its appeal.

Saw a snippet recently, quoting from a pre-publication paper from 2 astronomers/astrophysicists basically saying that ALL advanced civilizations will self-destruct within about a 1000 years.
1000 years starting from when?

Modern industrial civilization, akin to the Industrial Revolution. So we are 2-300 years in, and seeing problems. 1000 years on this planet may be an optimistic estimate.Yambo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 7:22 pmCousin Jack wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 12:02 pm

We need to stop worrying about all this environmental stuff.
The AI's will have killed us all off long before the planet becomes uninhabitable through global warming.

We really are very good at finding ways to terminate ourselves as a species. And doubtless taking a fair few others with us.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 8:13 pm We need to stop worrying about all this environmental stuff.

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
We've found all sorts of ways to off ourselves, but have always either stepped back from the brink (nuclear war) or it's going to take some time (climate change) or we've set something in motion we can't stop or control (AI).weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 9:16 pmIf humans were good at it, there'd be none leftmangocrazy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 9:09 pmWe really are very good at finding ways to terminate ourselves as a species.
