I work in general aviation maintenance and one of our biggest clients is a medical transport company with 10+ midsize jets, Bombardier Challengers mostly. Since Covid started, these guys flew more than in the prior 10+ years of operation combined, they are regularly doing around-the-world, multi-leg trips. Sometime 100+ hours per week, which is insane for a privat jet. It's about 30% seriously sick emergency patients, 30% intercontinental relocation of stable patients who need constant monitoring, 20% Organ Transplants and 20% wealthy, mobile patients who could probably take a normal plane but don't

A Cannonball actually took place in Europe in the early 80s (well, I think). I was a kid back then and read the story in french car mag L'auto-journal. And it stick with me since then. The race was from Copenhagen to Marbella. The french authorities got wind of it and the head of police agreed to let them speed through France if they cross country by night, which they did. From what I recall the winner was driving some kind of Mercedes 560 SEC. I can't remember the time he did. The thing is I can't find that issue and never find any other article or book or anything about it.

The thing with Europe, we don't do slow speed car chases. The highway police CAN DRIVE and their cars top out at 250 kph or so. You're just not getting far. Coordination between juridictions is amazing. A guy I know did a max speed run in his Porsche, 250 kph, got chased and lose the car. That's in tolerant Netherlands, mind you. You just don't do that and get away, just not happening. Helicopters are an actual thing. They're also great and locking down highways, even do it to make room for ambulances. You'll be overtake by a motor cop and brought to a stop, the ambulance gets an empty sea of tarmac to do its thing, rather than brave it out on the shoulder which in high traffic is not the place to be, especially with an exit every few km.

My babysitter's boyfriend in the mid 80s had a Citroën CX I think it was. In-era, kind of. From what I remember, he needed a home garage (blue collar city hood with rare garages) to kind of keep the thing going already them. Indeed a great car to hack most maintenance issues out of with a modern EV drivetrain and updated brakes, drive assist, the works. If only there were enough survivors to warrant a large production kit for it. Might as well do a whole run of complete cars with fresh coachwork.

I related some kind of way to this, my aunt passed from cancer nearly two years ago but I was the one driving her home to what I believe was her last ride. It was a last gen Peugeot 208 diesel, probably the worst car I've driven yet and no person should have this as their final driving experience lol but... I dunno. There's an element of the surreal to it, that I can't imagine how it must've felt to the husband riding in that ambulance with his wife who passed, my aunt was only in her 40s and doing chemo... It must've been brutal. But it did get me thinking about this, maybe why I felt it was a bit more important and why that memory sticks out. I can certainly see why the crew do it is what I'm saying; love the podcasts with Alex Roy

Speaking of autonomous cars, I highly recommend the corny but hilarious anime from 2000 called éX-Driver. It's an interesting take on how society would deal with rogue autonomous vehicles that have failed due to system errors or software hacking. It's a good anime for car fans, involving a Europa, Stratos, Seven, WRX...probably other cars, I can't remember.

A self driving car breaks down on an overpass. What does it do? If there is a slope, will it coast and steer to the side? The grid lock from self driving cars, when there are enough of them, is going to be beyond crippling. Terrorists are going to loooooove self driving cars. What fun to make with that.

To move sht across country, just have a proper back story for the team and be DECKED OUT to hit some sports event, music festival, geek convention, whatever people actually put way too much effort to go it. Have one person in the team with zero stamps in passport from flying, that person is TERRIFIED of flying and won't be needled to sleep it out either. Friends stick together, so a drive it is. With a really sick person, you have a sad story, last ever holiday for them. Sick person gets to leave a hefty inheritance to family, and get a road casino backstory to justify it. It's was magic.

On restomods. To SOME or MOST people, a given car may be all about the drivetrain. Say, a Lexus LFA. Most people who know what that car is, will agree. But there is going to be someone for whom that LFA is a piece of art, and they can't deal with loudness (I dislike loudness personally, am sentive). So they might butcher the LFA, or find one that has been pre-butchered by a moron who revved it to show off until it died and presented him with an unimaginable repair bill. Car gets to live, engine can't realistically be saved. So you toss in some EV drivetrain. No longer a need for it to be a Tesla unit either.

A self driving car failing goes from inconvenience to safety issue REAL QUICK when a pregnant lady is to be within a few blocks of the problem, any police/ambulance/fire truck needs to come through, etc, etc. A person, however dispicable, gets out of the way in a matter of seconds. A second driving cars, or a clusster eff of them, will just sit there. Until eventually someone decide to program that problem away. I predicted the cone problem, and it came to be. Someone did NOT think of that and program it away. Can people, and especially publically traded companies, be trusted to effect clear ahead thinking? Even at supermarkets I see major eff ups that can get NASTY for all involved. Now scale the risks to metropole traffic and cars that are self driving or made to look that way. A terrorist can now make a fake self driving car, radio control it and do whatever they like. And it would not be noticed, because I'm telling you, *I* think of corner cases, but won't bet a penny a privately traded self driving car maker will until a criminal comes up with the same thing. Self driving cars are just the opening of the gates to gell, and they're waiting for criminals to present them with all the failure modes to eventually program around, maybe.

Forget which autonomous vehicle company, but the cars were constantly being stumped by box trucks or vehicles stopped and taking up lanes in San Francisco. I remember finally getting out of the blocked lane seeing the car stuck behind the truck unloading. After finding parking, ended up passing by and the car was still waiting. They’ve been testing around where my mom lives in the Bay Area for a long time, and their rate of travel combined with false positive reasons to stop randomly are extremely frustrating to be stuck behind. Especially when there are two to three running in a line so it’s hard to pass safely or when they end up taking parallel lanes are trapping traffic behind them going well under the natural pace of the roadway. The sidewalk delivery robots encountering an autonomous car are a whole other kind of chaos resulting in zero movement.
