I assume the 😺 is a reference to the boardgames in the background

This one is ripe for becoming a meme template

For the people that say Checo is valuable to Red Bull for Mexican beverage sales, I imagine Yuki has a similar appeal.

It seems like every driver sports a new custom helmet for every race. Where do all these helmets end up?

What other company sells cars that self-drive themselves into fatal collisions?

It says right there in the post title, "World's".

Same... So far, closest thing I've seen is next-gen Porsche 718. I imagine it will be pushing $100K though, so if used prices halve 4 years after it's release like they did with the Taycan, maybe I can justify... Hopefully my 205k mile 2017 Miata holds on til then. Or if they want to do a PHEV Miata, I'd be good with that. I drive a shitload so the fuel savings of either a PHEV or BEV is a big appeal for me, but I'm not willing to sacrifice open-top fun and minimalist nimbleness... Maybe it's a contradiction, but I hope eventually it won't be.

I scroll through arstechnica headlines and save to pocket the most interesting ones. When I am in the bathroom or having a snack I can choose from my saves which article I'd like to read, instead of mindlessly scrolling, and the saves indicate estimated reading time in minutes so I can pick the perfect article to match the amount of time I plan to spend. Best of all, the articles are saved in a minimalist text-only format, stripping out all ads and other garbage. It even bypasses some paywalls, like the login prompt on seekingalpha.
