Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

It can get a little chilly sometimes, but never to the degree that it’s so cold that it becomes a physical blocker to using the vehicle the way a boiling hot steering wheel/seats do. I’ve never considered it a problem I need solved!

I'm not giving any definition because for most people it's undefinable, I'm just pointing out that it's certainly not just speed that provides it. I'll say having 0 direct inputs to the vehicle isn't a great way to get a soulful experience though. If the throttle pedal isn't connected to a throttle, brake pedal not connected to the brakes or brake booster, steering wheel not connected to the wheels, then the whole thing is very likely going to feel quite synthetic. The same goes for the computer systems. If there's 1000 inputs done by the computer to things like the throttle, or rear diff, then it's not going to feel very much like I am really the one in control of the machine

Conversely I want a manufacturer to invent a cooled/ventilated steering wheel. I have super sweaty hands so this would be a godsend lol
- Comment
I need a cooled steering wheel. Hate burning my hands on a steering wheel that’s been sitting in the July sun.

Steering wheel isn't on every car, but it's been forever since I've seen a car without at least heated front seats.
