Nice article, and an explanation that pertains to another thread:

It actually only has one physically engaged “gear,” so to speak: Park. There’s a latch that will ensure it can’t move when in park........

That is a necessity as a mechanical backup because the vehicle must not move if it loses power. It is safer for an EV to be immobile without power than roll easily.

He is a very brillant engineer, and as many engineers are curious (I include myself), he is eager to test a competitive product and analyze the differences between Android Auto and Apple's Car Play. I use Android in my Samsung phones, but I have tested (and repaired) iPhones years ago.

Interesting article, but boy is it ever riddled with incorrect words.

I don't know where they got the 0-60 MPH in 6.2s, but anything in that area is very fast. Needs higher performance tires!

We may be able to glean a little bit about how GM engineers get 5-star crash tests from the photo. My guess is the gold-colored reinforcing gusset-like panel with stiffener ribs connecting the fire wall with the right door panel is a stiffener to maintain passenger zone integrity and protect the legs in a front or shearing partial front collision. The crumple-zone probably ends just forward of this gusset. Any other thoughts?
