Há háaa... Yeah, it would be cool, get a interview with a research of a promissing technology, in case it reveal to be really true, with lot's of question other video didn't figure to make.
For me she seams like a very nice person, based in the breaf talks and in the video of her.

But "All Darc" it's not just about "being in dark". It's indeed closer to a abbreviation of my first name and last name. "Darc" it's closer to my second name just like Joana d'arc (Joan of Arc) it's close to Darc, and "All" it's a abbreviation of my first name.
But All Darc fits well to me in a forum since I'm a bit negativist.

I know you want to ask : "A little???"

Not sure the locals would understand your comments except to consider it a personalized affront to their ego
Multiple rear-end collisions every day? On the same on-ramp? Documentation? That would have any DOT scrambling for a study and redesign, and would make news headlines.

Also, there's a reason in any rear-end collision the driver in back is almost always at fault. The onus is on them to control their car and respond to traffic in front of them, not on the driver in front to do the impossible and somehow control what's happening behind them.

Yup that's why I told you which one it was occurring on. Not sure if data is available.
Also why I made the first comment about being ran over from behind.
NVDOT is waffling, but is major redesign of freeway for the 5 th time in 10 years.

The Terminus of Hwy 126 in Eugene, OR is downhill from an elevated highway into a stop light. I was once in a four car chain-reaction accident (toward the rear). When the car ahead of you start stopping short it easy to get sucked into it.

There is a stop sign in Toronto which most people roll through. When I first started riding a motorcycle, I did it by the book, and stopped there. I got hit twice in two days. The second time I found myself sitting on the pavement, back against a grille, with my bike in the intersection, I just picked it up and got out of the way.

Hello,

It still amazes me how light basic AXs were - lighter than the Austin/Rover Minis of the same period!

Yes, but passenger security is poor, if it was not, i'd buy one, i like this car.
With its light weight, handling is impressive

How much does it actually increase risk, and what is the minimum? Please count in being a smaller target, and less temptation to speed.
