• Needs more Chrome.
  
• If it crashes, you might need to change the driver.

If it's self driving, you don't really need Windows any more...

*You need to close all the windows before you turn it off.

*Always make sure that you have enough space to back up.

I would rather wait for the Mk2. I never trust Mk 1 of anything from Microsoft

 

* Don't trust the journey times on the satnav. "You have reached your destination" at least 15 minutes before you actually arrive

I'm surprised its not blue with white text 😁

[sparkeh]

I've heard it's a hard drive

I've heard it's a hard drive

I've heard that you can lose control.

[Dos_Box]

I wonder how big the boot is?

[southhamster]

I wonder how big the boot is?

Bigger than a Dodge RAM?

[jmak]

Bigger than a Dodge RAM?

Looks like it's a Ford Explorer - I wonder if there are any mapped drives?

[mikeprice]

I'd rather take the Bus

[sparkeh]

To get in you have to use a handle.

 

To change gear you press Ctrl, Alt then Shift.

[DalekSec]

I've heard the windscreen turns blue when you crash

[mikeprice]

I presume the SatNav obeys normal standards

 

 

Time to destination 10mins

Time to destination 1min

Time to destination 50 mins

Time to destination 90 mins

Time to destination 5 seconds

Are you asking about the Boot Volume?

[FN-GM]

The airbags will probably ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

Anyone else remember this old joke?

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.

For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."

Every so often, for no apparent reason:-

 

[korifugi]

I don't like the look of that front bumper - looks like some unsavory types could use it for RAM-Raiding.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.

with ecus this can happen it even happens on race cars

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

so the engine management light then

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

to some extent thats true now when i needed to move the brother in laws astra i couldnt start it the dash just showed a picture of a pedal (i always start a car with the clutch down anyway) so confused me till i found out you needed to depress clutch and brake to start it

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."

you do do that in my car now

[AMLinington]

Let me guess, it's called the Windows 'Explorer'?

[MkII]

I presume the SatNav obeys normal standards

 

..Gets to 99% and then it's another 10 minutes before you arrive?
