Pontiac? Actually yeah I gotta admit there’s a resemblance...

That officially doubles the number of Oppos this week that I get to congratulate for making it to the Kinja big leagues! Jalopnik’s lucky to have you! Read more

I’m still mad that Ford went in another direction with the Thunderbird instead of keeping it a competitor to the Corvette. Read more

You know what we say to new Oppo members: stay out of the basement. And just look at you now, having made it all the way to the big leagues of Kinja! Congrats buddy! Read more

Your tip about pulling through a parking spot and reversing reminds me of another shortcoming to many of these camera systems: Why not make the camera view available in forward gears, so that you can see when you’ve passed the line? Rearward visibility is valuable all the time, not just when you’re reversing. There… Read more

I’m a bit torn over the fisheye effect. One one hand, having a wide-angle lens is super-helpful for maximizing the view, but on the other hand that distortion can really screw with a driver’s sense of approaching objects’ speed and distance. Read more

Backup cameras are neat. I mean REALLY neat. They’re a great complimentary feature in the best of times, but in the worst of times, they’re a frustratingly insufficient replacement for real visibility. Read more

Yeah most cameras aren’t protected by a badge like that and boy do they get dirty fast. A clean lens can get absolutely filthy after just a short rainy-day drive, and the resulting image is pretty much useless until it’s cleaned off again. Even when they’re not plastered with dirt, all it takes is one drop of water to… Read more

Better change those head gaskets quick before they pop. Being a ’94, This car falls right into the “problem years” range for the 3.8, and the mileage is right for the engine to start drinking coolant very soon, if it hasn’t started already. I don’t see any mention in the listing of cooling system parts having been chan… Read more

Anybody notice an overall increase in bad driving lately? At least in my area, people seem to be even worse than normal these past few weeks. More red light runners, more jumping out of driveways into traffic, more aggressive merging... heck, more aggression in general. Think the election season has anything to do… Read more

Hm, tough call. Seems like the car begins to move from its stop at the exact same time as the pedestrians turns to cross perpendicular. Going frame-by-frame, I’m kinda inclined to give this one to Cruise, because even if they did go at the same time, it’s only after the car has started moving that the pedestrian… Read more

As a subscriber to Cruise’s YouTube channel, I’m pleased to see that you’re analyzing these cars’ behaviors as much as I do when a new video gets posted. Seriously, some of these driving decisions are baffling! I’d really like to know more about how the driverless system makes choices. Read more

The next great truck word will be GUHHHHHHHH cause that’s what an orgasm sounds like.

Now, before I go on, I do absolutely realize that this video came out in May and plenty of places already featured it, including our own Gizmodo. I also realize that I don’t care, I want to talk about it anyway, and if our Gizmodo siblings have a problem with that, well, then they can just meet me in the break room… Read more

That reminds me, I really wish Nissan and/or Ridley Scott would see to it that a higher quality version of this ad got released, just for posterity’s sake. If 4k is too much to hope for, then at least put out a HD version! Read more
