A very small survey of people of different ages suggests that there are age and gender differences in the acceptance of riding in automated cars. In summary, 2,600 people in the US replied and of them 38% of the men and just 16% of women would be happy to ride in an automated vehicle. About a quarter of respondents said they would feel safe in a driverless car while around two thirds said they would not travel unless there was a driver. No mention was made about their opinions of sharing the road with these massive projectiles when driving themselves in traditional cars.

    Dodge Hellcat keys - Way ahead of you: https://artofgears.com/2015/11/10/this-is-why-the-srt-hellcat-has-two-keys/ [artofgears.com]

    When the red key is in use, the full potential of the 707 horsepower SRT Hellcat engine is in full effect. The only performance restriction that results from use of the Black key is limiting the horsepower output to 500.

    No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

      If I had a Hellcat, I'd want a maximum 50 hp (fifty) key to give to the parking lot valet.

        No valet is allowed to even touch my Charger R/T, let alone if I ever happened to own a Hellcat. Self-park only for me.
