It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

What do hackers have to do with cruise control? The article is talking about the adaptive cruise control feature that can fully stop the motorcycle when traffic stops and then start moving again when traffic begins to move. The motorcycles don't even necessarily have an internet connection.

NGL the idea of adaptive cruise control and auto breaking on a motorcycle sounds fucking terrifying.

Especially highway speeds.
