You set your sights so high. I just want to be the guy who doesn't get run over by a Tesla.

If we put enough money and gear and effort into it, there's a chance that, in time, it could achieve mediocrity. With luck. But probably not.

who would you rather have at your author Q & A, a "this is more of a comment" person, or a bear

@ElleGray

Bears usually just ask where the refreshments are.

    A top European auto safety body is releasing new rules that will require physical buttons and knobs for key vehicle features to receive a full five-star safety rating. I’d like to see the same in North America.
