Inside the World of Bonneville Land-Speed Racing | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

We know that statistically most of us are average. Yet nearly every poster here believes that they are a far above average driver. Which is statistical nonsense. Cognitive dissonance, at work.

Other safety systems help the driver to disregard situational awareness while driving and instead rely on technology, that can and will fail, to pay attention for them.

By the description in the first story, I do agree that the way the lane-keeping system reacted was guaranteed to destabilize the car–the LAST thing you want in such conditions is a sudden maneuver! I’m surprised at the power you claim of the system and strongly recommend a complaint be posted to NHTSA in particular, as well as with the vehicle manufacturer. Computer programs don’t know how to drive on ice yet and there NEEDS to be some way to turn it off under certain temperature/traction conditions at a reasonable speed.

It’s time to be brutally honest about that. It’s a lie we tell ourselves. Worse, it’s a dangerous lie. As the roads get more crowded, the threat level goes up. In my opinion, it’s idiotic to argue against things like lane-departure warning because “the idiots will ignore it”. First, that’s a stupid blanket statement. If you’ve ever driven a car with the seat buzzers, you know that this is a crap argument. It’s bloody hard to ignore. Second, as I mentioned before, we all screw up. Yes, some people will ignore the warnings. But most won’t. And, I predict, the warnings will make people more aware of their own failings. If your car tells you that you need to pay attention, most people will heed that warning if only to reduce the annoyance factor. That will yield a net improvement in overall safety.

Even if you can’t really rule out a part just because it’s been recently repaired, the stack of receipts still helps with the diagnostic process, much like how medical records help a doctor determine what’s wrong with someone.

Finn, a “roadie” who says his work as a production manager in the entertainment industry has made him quite familiar with electrical systems, believes his modifications couldn’t possibly have affected the airbag system, calling GM’s alleged suggestion that they did “lies” and “bullshit.”

The 2019 Suzuki RM-Z450 is 10 percent improved over last year’s offering. The sad fact is that even if Suzuki’s engineers could have made the 2019 Suzuki RM-Z450 25 percent more ridable than last year’s model, it still would have trouble getting out of last place in the standings. It is that far behind the eight ball. Suzuki made the 2019 RM-Z450 a much more ridable bike than the 2018 by trying to make the rear shock more responsive to bumps. But, it has a long way to go. What would Suzuki need to do to change its fortunes in the 450 class? The RM-Z450 has to lose beaucoup pounds (it needs to drop 18 pounds to match the KTM 450SXF), add electric starting (as it sits, that would result in an unacceptable 246-pound bike), get rid of the weird BFRC shock (or make it work when changing directions in the rough), design a totally new engine (not just because the current engine is the slowest in the class, but because this powerplant is an ancient mariner), build a clutch that maximizes power (instead of slip), and find engineers and test riders who prioritize balance over partial fixes.

The swap began by unpacking this complete FiTech 2×4 GoEFI kit with the black finish to maintain the engine compartment theme. This was matched with a polished Edelbrock 2×4 low-rise intake manifold. But before they ripped into the engine compartment, there was an entirely new fuel delivery system to build.

Major improvements have been promised by Atlas Copco after the company launched its fifth generation of its flagship QAS generator range.

We weren’t in the truck for very long, and we didn’t get to deep dive into the dashboard tech or interior trim options, as this was an engine program only. But we did get enough of the flavor of the gas-powered engine options for 2019 to give a decent accounting of what’s coming down the road. The short version: 2019 will be a very good year for the Chevy Silverado.
