I hope it was a loooong ceremony, cause that was a short honeymoon!

This is pretty amazing but how fast would this be able to write?

In other words, tape will remain relevant for a long time to come.

No doubt about that. IIRC it isn't a volatile media and can last decades in controlled storage.

Now that is a sleek looking car. I'd be interested into looking into it if it hit production.

Just a software governor. Those have been around for decades.

I'm aware :). The proto for this hit 234 mph I believe.

Time to bypass on this thing. I'm not a car guy so this isn't something that I had done before. If they hit production there will be cars on the street capable of 234 mph if they get the fully outfitted version.

I'm not much of a car guy either, but imagine self driving cars all zooming around at 200+ mph.
Wouldn't have to worry about deer at that point. . .

You wouldn't need an ambulance there either, just the morgue.

Or a means of keeping the roads clear of obstacles, and mandated seat belt use before the car moves.

Screw the seat belt. I'm going 5-point harness.
