    Like what I see so far.

    99% of the time I do not use it, but have found a backup camera when parking in garages in Seattle make it a life saver of getting in close to the walls without hitting it.

    Seems while some think GM is a rag doll to be blasted on social media about, GM is Flints #1 employer for the area. Plus adding more jobs. https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2019/aug/0805-cca.html Flint seems to even list them as the number 1 employer. https://www.citytowninfo.com/places/michigan/flint/work

    Seems Climate activist are attacking auto dealerships in Europe and destroying said Autos. One Group calling themselves "Rocks in the Gearbox" are under investigation for this damage and threats. As such, security is being stepped up for the Frankfurt Auto Show. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autoshow-frankfurt-security/frankfurt-auto-show-tightens-security-after-anti-car-vandalism-idUSKCN1VJ1TY

    Yet they did seem to nail this one for factual news reporting. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB5 Seems this is a bill aimed at more than Uber and Lyft but any company that employees thousands of contractors long term, they are not contractors but actual employees. This clearly defines employees versus independent contractors.

    Interesting is that China has agreed to allow Tesla to sell their auto's tax free in China saving the 10% sales tax. Gotta wonder how the other auto companies are going to respond to this favor-ism. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-china-tax/china-will-exempt-tesla-cars-from-purchase-tax-idUSKCN1VK1AU

    Interesting read, California has motion AB5 that is going through the house and senate and looks to have gained the votes to pass that could end up killing Uber and Lyft as it would designate all of their drivers as employees and not contractors. Course Uber and Lyft are presenting their own living wage solution to their fleet of Contractors hoping to avoid AB5 from becoming law in California. https://jalopnik.com/uber-and-lyft-dont-have-a-right-to-exist-1837680434 Seems Paris is going to have noise cameras to photograph and send a ticket for noise due to the increase in extremely noisy motorbikes such as Harley's. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-noise-motorcycles/paris-suburb-pioneers-noise-radar-to-fine-roaring-motorcycles-idUSKCN1VK1AA

    @Robert Hall Here is a new hate for you, Nissan in making the new 2020 GT-R Nismo with a sale price of $212,000 is because every piece on the auto that can be has been replaced with a Carbon fiber part. https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/29281/heres-why-nissan-thinks-it-can-charge-212000-for-the-2020-nissan-gt-r-nismo

    Seems our favorite CUV of late is being 100% recalled due to an incorrect restraint assembly being installed wrong. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2019/08/kia-recalls-basically-every-telluride-sold-in-america/

    Get Ready for that other shoe to drop, the price shoe on EVs. As per this story, prices for Lithium have dropped and will continue to drop as 6 new mines in Australia alone have come on line and will contribute to a 23% rise in production of Lithium for use in batteries. Current costs per the story: today's $176 per kwh, to $94/kwh by 2024 and $62/kwh by 2030 https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124776_ev-battery-suppliers-face-glut-of-lithium-tight-supply-of-other-materials Course this does not take into affect lower prices on other components as economy of scale takes over with ramped up production.

    Seems BP has officially opened the first of 400 new Fast DC charging stations in the UK to compliment their 7,000 charge points across the nation there and will have all 400 DC fast chargers installed by the end of 2021. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/ bp-chargemaster-installs-first-of-400-150-kw-chargers/

    I will say that I do like the Tesla Semi truck incorporation of side mirror cameras and views.
  14. G. David Felt
    I actually have liked the Cadillac's that came OEM with Matte paint jobs, looked nice. I have also seen many various modern current autos with the monochromatic look and that is far better than the Denali chrome everything look to me. Right, so my parents are at the tail end of the Silent Generation or Traditionalist and yet they associate themselves with the baby boomers. Lucky you can have all the chrome you want, I will go black chrome which looks sharp or mono as my preference for an auto look.

    I honestly would rather have them quote 45 to 60 time as a more meaningful time representing passing, getting up to freeway speed from the on ramp. I am sure there are far better ways we could think up quickness to represent real world driving than the 0 to 60 time.

    Probably not to auto enthusiast that cover the whole auto industry history, but to the current kids to people in their 50's. Chromed out Blinged out auto's was a Baby Boomer thing. From my 78 and 76 year old mom and dad to their friends, they all reference chrome as being their generation, the baby boomers. These are your average Joe's and as such do not see the history, just what they had as a focus point to their life and how younger people see it today. Heck, so many 30 somethings to 50's refer to the Chromed out look as such a Baby Boomer thing. Clearly they do not see the history of the auto industry just that generation and that for the most part, the autos of that era were all chromed / Blinged out.

    Here is what the screen looks like on at night and a picture of the HD with night vision backup camera. Have to say they have come a long way in quality as my sons 2017 Jeep GC camera is not this good. Love having all the natural GM steering wheel controls plus the touch screen.
  18. G. David Felt
    Right! I am so over the Baby Boomer every thing Chrome look.

    When you click on a new tab in Brave you get the current statistics of what Brave has done and it looks like this:

    I will agree with you, the cities around where I live that have installed them says they are making the streets safer, but one did acknowledge a 10 times increase in accidents from people slamming on the brakes and being rear ended. I HATE the red light cameras myself.
  22. G. David Felt
    Seems we are killing a 1,000 people a year due to red light runs and AAA is suggesting everyone use red light cameras since cops cannot be everywhere to try and reduce the deaths. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/08/29/traffic-deaths-red-light-running-aaa-study/2122242001/

    Rid yourself of the FEAR of being DEMONETIZATION by using the Brave Browser. Built on the open source code of the Chrome browser, this browser allows you to stay in control of where you go, default is no tracking allowed, blocking of pop ups, ads on the web site, etc. https://brave.com/bra036 I have it installed and have been using it all day when I check in on C&G site and have to say I am liking it! This is one of the easy to use built in tools to tell you how it has protected you so far.
