Isn't that how the metric system works?

No doubt some GM IT folks are under a lot of pressure right now…

Smh .. AI

No, no, no! Not flying APART cars, jeez.

I was driving a while back and when I changed lanes the steering wheel started shaking, the brakes engaged and I believe the seat moved around. I said to mrs man tom at the time. "the lug nuts may have come loose."

I had accidently, with my knee, had unknowingly engaged the Lane Departure Warning.

Described here:

How Does the LDW Work?


If the vehicle moves out of its lane without the turn signal activated, the system will relay visual, audible, or haptic feedback alerts.


Lane Departure Warning Options

All drivers are different, so Honda has made it easy to customize the Lane Departure Warning system to suit your preferences. Selectable LDW warning options include:

Seat and steering wheel vibration settings
Optional visual alert in the form of a flashing lane marking symbol
Adjustable audible warning volume

Isn't this what doomed the Chevy Corvair?

We're going to need a new air compressor.

That will be an additional $10,000 per tire market adjustment for the pure nitrogen option.

Do the nitrogen tire pumps outside of CostCo have a 1000 PSI setting?

a Tahoe Yukon Forum user said they were told the cause was a computer error on OnStar's end.

Where would we be without hard-hitting investigative journalism?

My guess to the cause is that, as a publicity stunt, GM is trying to make its own versions of TikTok challenges.

More of a dare, really.
