The most bizarre application of this is drift cars

They actually have pretty aggressive negative Ackerman, which is why they can do stuff like reverse entry drifts

Correct, thermal testing. Not vibration

Having worked on mission critical commercial aircraft electronics, I can assure you every part is stress tested before it goes on a plane. Both after its first made and every time its in for service. Supposedly there has been research done showing that stress testing does not adversely affect reliability, at least at this quality level

Also, the paper trail is quite literally paper. Its kinda amazing how slow the aviation industry is to adopt new things

Does anyone else feel like this could just be a kind of stunt pulled out of thin air described by "Trust me, I'm lieing"?

As a Lyft driver, I can confirm that this is way too real
as a Lyft driver in Cincinnati, this is really making me rethink my main source of income

most of my passengers during the day are lower income, and while I personally haven't had any major issues there are definitely times when I'm glad certain passengers are out of my car. I feel like if the drug problem is really this bad, it's only a matter of time until one of these stories is in the back of my car
