Time to admit it. The world has gone full cult, and there is no going back. Cults are clearly city based, as people who don’t live in cities are m7ch less cult prone, and very few. But, they do control food production. Any chance the farmers of the world can get together and simply stop all production and kill off about 2 billion city dwellers?
Lucky for me … my BMW isnt “Black” and is definitely not “Jet Black” … but mine is the “Black sapphire metallic” … so all those retahded robot-driven losers on the road will stay the hell out of my way. I am certain they can “read” the metallic flakes in my “sparkly” black convertible.
I’m with you Kevin….
I sure don’t see mass protests demanding driverless cars. Seems to me this is one of those things the Tech giants are attempting to push that nobody wants. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
As for self, I have no intention of giving up the freedom of driving my own vehicle…ever.
It’s White…always liked Black, but too damned hard to keep clean in a city like Calgary.
soooooo the safety of the occupants depends on the cooperation of *someone* (or something) else.
kinda a lot like right now, except right now, we humahns are able to protect ourselves.
so where is the big ‘tech based’ improvement? is the ‘improvement’ limited to the techies bottom line? at the cost of lives whilst they work out the bugs?
sounds about right for the submissive millennials.
Less black paint jobs is racist!
White is also the cheapest color option for us skin flints.
Lidar is used in photo enforcement. Would its inability to pick up black explain the paint job on so many muscle cars I see going fast on the road in my neck of the woods?
Indeed.
However, my Saphire Metalic Black auto is kinda half-Black … you know … kinda “eggplanty” … like our former Nobel Prize winning ex President … so I’m still good.
“Black sapphire metallic” Heh
Yeah it’s never BLACK.
For my Chevy I could order Carbon Flash Metallic or Onyx Black.
Carbon Flash Metallic sounded faster.
Wow! “Flash” … if your name is Gordon … it’s a SUPER heroic automobile

Me totally relying on sensors, cameras and computers to drive me around on highways. NEVER.
I predict the next hippy type revolution will be when the millennials start throwing out their phones and gadgets. Back in the 60’s, kids were leaving the cities to go back to nature. The next revolution will be about going back to human interaction.

Black cars matter.
