EV buyers may want to consider a used EV until new tech comes out
I'm not basing my purchase decisions on pie-in-the-sky press releases from Toyota and wild-ass guesses from some random person on the Internet. Build a car, Toyota, then we'll talk. Or maybe I'll just buy a Tesla instead, I've heard that their "Full Self-Driving" is just a few months away.
- j45 3y agoI get your "standard". It's why my recommendation is to actually go look at Toyota's tech. It's not hypothetical or in development. Their solid state batteries are known to exist and be ready to go. "I think I found Toyota's battery" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36980630 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36980630 Which refers to " https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-022-01421-z https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-022-01421-z" Maybe some patenting stuff under way? I don't know. Toyota did predict this for a few years ago but things were shut down for the pandemic.

It sounds like training the AI driving systems with synthetic data is helping speed up progress. Another fn area to read.
