Definitely, it would be better to pass than follow it. ---

We’ve been seeing these test flights for years now. Time for someone to go into production. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/hUhzk8lCtL4/maxresdefault.jpg "Chinese two-seater ‘flying car’ makes first public flight in Dubai") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUhzk8lCtL4) ---

Looks like they are still hiring talented engineers. I wonder where they will get them. ---

The traffic is worse at 630 AM than it is at 730 AM. It is worse at 330 PM than it is at 430 PM. Think those 9 to 5ers work from home and in person is now 7 to 330. ---

I don’t really see how they are going to make that happen. They have spent a hundred years creating the perfect pollution producing automobile. ---

Emissions have already been reduced in modern cars and modern gasoline. Cars are cleaner than they were 25 years ago. They are now full of plastic and computers, so probably worse to make a new car than it used to be, but they run cleaner already. ---

European emissions standards are excellent. South American standards are garbage but I am not sure it matters anymore with the shift to electric. ---

South America has a black carbon problem, which is a problem in Europe as well. What, besides black carbon, lowers their emissions standards? ---

It’s probably not too much control for women. We are used to being told where to go, what to do and when to do it. I doubt it’s a problem for men since they can easily justify it as needed for women. ---

I sat low to the ground until 2012. I wonder how I’d adjust. ---

I like the look of the inside but it seems you are looking up through the windshield. [Previous page](https://bbad.com/t/cars/300.md?page=61) [Next page](https://bbad.com/t/cars/300.md?page=63)
