    New Boston Dynamics Atlas Robot

    Think it's 10 years since their first version of Atlas. They also did a montage of the development of the original Atlas. It is bonkers how quickly it has moved on. Practical demonstation of Moore's Law. Here's the montage:

    New Boston Dynamics Atlas Robot

    Posting this in a new thread but mentioned this on the Tesla self driving thread. Anyone else getting T1000 Terminator vibes?

    Snow foam mark on MG4 plastic panel

    You can get small polishing pads and discs that you can use with a cordless drill. Might be a more cost effective option.

    The Tesla full self-driving thread

    Too late for that, have you seen the latest Boston Dynamics Atlas robot? It is electrically actuated, not hydraulically. It's joints have greater freedom of movement than the human body. It moves like the T1000 Terminator.

    I'm starting to get the feeling that I may be the youngest one in this conversation? ;)

    I doubt insurers would sign off on DIY kits, suspect it would require installation by certified professional. Unfortunately you are probably right, but hoping any exemption will be a long one if that comes to pass.

    No self driving in my Wife's 1971 VW Beetle. I hope this doesn't spell the end for classic cars too!

    Snow foam mark on MG4 plastic panel

    I had some swirl marks on the same panel. I used Supagard's Paintseal cream on it, and it removed the marks easily. Apply a small amount evenly over the panel with a small sponge, allow it to go hazy, and buff off with a microfibre cloth.

    Trophy Skipping

    Standard factory tyres?, roads a bit damp or greasy? EV with lots of torque plus sharp acceleration, then yes, the back end may skip a bit. I remember the first time I drove a rear wheel drive car (my friend's Morris Ital) compared with my front wheel drive car, and I fishtailed away from a...

    Hello from a new owner!

    Welcome. I completely agree with you. Doesn't matter what MG4 version you have, they are lots of fun to drive, even on the daily commute to work. I'm just over a year into my ownership and this forum has been so useful. Also nothing wrong with a bit of RTFM.

    Foot rest

    Yes, there are two small square plastic covers on the foot rest. A pry tool or flat blade under right hand side of the covers to pop them open, and then a 10mm socket either on an extension, or deep reach type to undo the two bolts.
