Is this any worse than driving in car? Why? In my experience it's similar with a bike and a car: as the oncoming vehicle approaches, it actually helps light up the road from their end. But the exact moment it passes, well, for few moments t

It might not be perfect yet, but we can fix things! It's likely possible to tweak various threshold distances based on country specifics, laws, user preferences, and further testing. The car can track other cars now! I expect the trend to

For some phones at least it is not digital clipping, but speaker distorting the sound. A simple test would be to attach speakers or headphones. If it sounds bad both on internal speaker and external speakers, then, yeah, it's digital clippi

12mph average is respectable, now this gets interesting... As for comparing safety, one could 1) compare time to stop with different brake types, on different surfaces, in a straight, in a corner 2) gather statistics on traffic accidents an

Hadn't heard of prorated battery warranties, but yes, makes sense. This fixes intentional abuse. But I imagine with free brick replacement, people would more easily and frequently forget to keep the battery charged. Without the risk of $40K

Such condition would be tempting to abuse. Warranty expires in 6 months--drive to 0%, wait a month and call dealer. Instead manufacturer could make it very clear in on webpages, in owner manuals, PR materials etc. the importance of keeping

And I'm saying it might be not because of difference in immediate quality, but because some brands have found their working formula and slowed down experimenting, while others continue cranking out new stuff. Brooks saddles look the same, a

I'd be wary of configuration settings like this, they sidestep the problem and create another one--you still have potentially confusing navigation and now there's more clutter in configuration screen. In this case, the configuration setting
