I've always appreciated these for what they are.
Interesting that it's a body on frame though. I never realized that.
The author mentions rappers who are no longer relevant, that was funny.
Anyway, the car looks amazing. I'm curious to see how the suspension adjust based off of cameras. And the transmission shifts based on satellite tech that knows the speed limit ahead. Does that mean you can't ever break the speed limit in the car?

The transmission shifting is probably doing predictive downshifts before you hit a grade, or before a sharp curve that is likely to reduce your speed, so that you can shift the tranny during a relatively-unloaded portion of cruising rather than under load. Also probably using that data to choose to downshift to 3 or 4, instead of 5.
Leave it to Rolls Royce to make a purple interior that somehow looks tasteful.
