    If you really remember that, we're close in age. Definitely remember those drills.

    How is that assault bike allowed on our streets today? Weapons like this should be illegal for a civilian to own. 1 like = 1 vote for my petition on change.org. Ban assault bikes now.

    I remember when Toyota had issues with the Prius having uncontrolled acceleration problems. It was total bullshit but they went to great efforts to play the game.

    MIT even ran them in a radio wave chamber with no issues. Cars are pretty well shielded from the factory.

    Make no mistake of it does happen, I'll be coming to your house with a shotgun to steal the heating oil for CUCV. Push those little Tacos out of the way...

    The question is can the future self driving vehicles be hacked?

    lulz. Either you are high up in the ranks of whatever paramilitary group that steps in to oppress your region, or you are on foot. Anything in between is catapult fodder.

    It's all in who you know when it comes to post-apocalyptic transportation.

    I think I've said this on this forum before. If the shit really hits the fan the last thing I want is to give the impression that I've got all my own shit together. If somebody sees you rolling your nice tacoma or with your cool tactical gear they are thinking you're a fat target with probably lots of potential prepper goods to steal in the back. Maybe you're worth the risk of robbing and whether they can actually pull that off or not it increases your risk.

    Meanwhile if they see me rolling by on my huffy bike wearing jeans and a star wars t shirt, with my Dora the Explorer backpack, they are thinking "this numb nut has nothing worth bothering with". At least until we start to resort to cannibalism anyway.
