SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES VS SPEEDING AND TAILGATING
One man's questions: Will the self-driving vehicle be accepted by the speeder and
tailgater? I assume that the vehicle will not operate over the speed limit, nor tailgate.
Are you one of those drivers that just can't drive 55? Answers from several
commentors: Self-driving vehicles have potential to cause problems because it will be
extremely difficult to program them for all of the many unusual circumstances that
human drivers are fairly adept at. Road rage is a likely outcome, on person opined. Add

HAVE YOU CHANGED A HEADLIGHT LATELY?
Working on today's cars is a lot different for old-timers who could do many repair jobs
themselves. Here are some examples: I recently had helped my son change a headlight
on his older " New Beetle " that required watching a YouTube video to figure out how. It
requires a lever under the hood to be operated and then a spring-loaded lever to be
depressed while tugging on the headlight bezel to pull out the headlight " fixture. " On my
wife's 2011 Subaru Outback the front tires needs to be removed first! Another YouTube
video was necessary. I just take this one to the dealer now as my hand is too large for the
third step after removing the inner fender. My 2015 Silverado requires removing the air
cleaner. And a small hand. I 'fancied' myself a decent hobby-level mechanic until my wife
started complaining about the " low beams " on the 2014 Cadillac SRX; surely, this must
be a simple " AutoZone " fix. Wrong! Add your voice here.

"
An actual cool feature would be
if one EV can charge another
through the charge port, and do
so with dc fast-charge capability.
You could potentially pull over,
give someone a selected amount
of range, and both people go on
their merry way.
