They can go whether the driver wants them to or not once the pedal is stuck down. (Unless they’ve been mildly dampened outside of car wash mode.)

Then by all means let them drive themselves right off a high cliff

While I like the idea, unfortuanlty, that is bad for the environment. We are better off driving them into recycling plants to put the battieires and other materials towards something useful.

True. I was just thinking of the least expensive option

capital@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Unfortunately.
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 months ago

You could easily argue the Hummer is symbolic of the problem with legacy manufacturer’s attempts at EVs, or at least the most extreme
Rather than create an EV anyone can afford, rather than design a vehicle around the needs of an EV, rather than care about any sort of efficiency …. Take a monster of excess and just keep adding thousands of pounds of batteries until it works. And you end up with more of a monster of excess: excessive price, excessive consumption of batteries/materials, excessive weight. You have a vehicle designed for people who values excess, made it even more excessive and godforsaken, and try to sell it to customers in the name of efficiency and reduced pollution. Of course it won’t work.
