ding ding ding ding, correct. Pretty soon, with driver-less cars, what will you do when you direct your car to a destination and the car says no? Will you feel good getting into an airplane with no cockpit or pilots? AI is a much bigger threat than most people realize. It will be making decisions for us with no way out if you disagree with the "Master Control Program".

Exactly. There's a version that doesn't require any kind of extra sensors and is easily reset and recalibrated. It works just as well as the version with sensors. Except they only use the version with sensors to upsell. Almost all companies have abandoned the cheap version.
Which is why you should always drive an older car and save your money. Be a man and learn how to work on it. And not worry about a whole bunch of fucking idiot faggot lights giving you warnings all the fucking time.
In this day, it’s nearly impossible to drive a car with no idiot lights.
I have an obdii scanner mechanics use to scan codes.
If I could, I’d have an 85 wrangler or something like that.
Ah, wait until you learn about cars that don’t have dip sticks to check the oil and you have to use the instrument cluster to wait for it to be low a quart.
This is because people allowed the government to decide that people are not smart enough to maintain their own vehicle. And then they don't even know how to put air in the tire.
If your kid is 18 years old, has their own car, and doesn't know how to put air in their tires or check the fluids, you failed as a parent.

Tom Brady has a bunch of kids he’s a goddamn hero. Why do you ducking crackers always stop at two. OH I CANT AFFORD IT. YEA NEITHER CAN THAT NIGGERS YOU SEE AT THE STORE WITH FIVE KIDS USING EBT. FUCK YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION SHIT EM OUT LIKE DIARRHEA THIS IS FOR OUR FUTURE YOU STINGY BITCH
As much as you all hate on shit tire pressure sensors are the right direction. They don't control anything just display information. Use that information to improve your fuel economy and avoid flat tires and blow outs or don't. You can still choose to drive around on low tires if you can ignore that light.
They aren't bad until the spare tire is monitored too. Now I have to drop it, pull it out, fill it, lay under the car to hook it up and then crank it back into place. The good thing is that its my wife's car and I don't have to look at the light for the next 6 months while it doesn't get fixed.
Yep. Proper tire pressure is one of the most cost effective ways to improve fuel economy. If I ruled the world, every gas station would be required to provide customers with free access to an air compressor
Many do. For the rest of us, $20 gets us there. The real trick is getting people to read the label in the door instead of filling the tire to max pressure

Self driving cars are one of the absolute dumbest things ever and the people that want then have absolutely no forethought

Don't forget the question of your car deciding to sacrifice you instead of some retarded nigger that decides to jump in the highway.
[–] Ihateyuppies 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
You can thank our wonderful government for that. It's required by law since 2007 or 2008.

Lol +1 for being a man and doing it but maybe be a man and also don't ignore those lights, they get expensive sometimes

Planned obsolescence....
Fuck this world!
[–] 90SE 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
There's ways to check the level just not with a dipstick. Usually a check plug with the engine running and the trans up to temp
[–] Gringojones [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I'm not cool with that. I'll be sure to look for that if I buy another car
[–] WhiteRonin 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Didn’t realize until I bought and was like, “how the fuck do I check my oil!!!”
First car that I had to RTFM. Fuck me

Almost! Audi. I should have got the BMW. I’ve been wanting one for a while.

Well truly, people are too retarded to maintain their vehicle, at least in the states. Source: mechanic

I don't want to agree with the first paragraph but I definitely agree with the second.

I hate the tire pressure indicators.
Tom Brady hates them worse.

My car is weird. It didn't come with a spare; instead, it came with a tire repair kit and there's a portable air compressor under the drivers seat.
[–] [deleted] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
[–] ninjajunkie ago
It's a Fiat, I'll just carry it to a gas station.
[–] Gringojones [S] ago
What brand is that? That's new to me.
[–] sn0wbawl ago
Kias do this now. Some come with a can of fix a flat attached to a compressor. I think the Cruze eco does too.
[–] rejectedfromreddit ago
I've seen that too. I've made a mental note to demand a full size tire if I ever buy a new car again.
[–] sn0wbawl ago
If it's a car it might be bouncing around the trunk because many aren't designed to fit a full size

No not true many manufacturers will make the car go in limp mode when the tps light comes on. Some even disable the traction control.
[–] drakesdoom2 ago
Well that's retarded.

The other alternative is you bitching you had to go rescue your wife because she had a blow out from low tire pressure and her spare was flat.
Speaking of which why does she drive? Is your kitchen that far away?
[–] sn0wbawl ago
Heaven forbid you actually keep the spare aired up
