Yep. It’s apart at the moment but hopefully I can devote some time to it soon. Read more

According to the guide. The 12v battery in the car has to be discharged or disconnected in order for the external connection to work. Read more

Basically, in a human operated car, if any system goes out, the human can take some sort of evasive action. If the power steering goes out in your car, you can still react by braking and forcing the steering wheel in a certain direction. An autonomous car does not have you as a backup so it must have another layer of… Read more

In a human operated car, the human is the redundant system so it can go into a fail-safe mode. A fully autonomous car will not have a human paying attention so it must go into a fail-operational mode. http://papers.sae.org/2016-01-0131/ Read more

They advertise the lower price and get a customer from further away that doesn’t ask a lot of questions invested in the purchase. Once the customer drives down, they throw the recon fee into the transaction and hope that the customer won’t… Read more

These cars are not only going out of the state, they are going out of the country too. Read more

They will show up with their own car transporters and usually try to buy 8-15 cars/trucks at a time. Since the Houston auctions are so close to the border, I can imagine that a lot… Read more
