Uber already tried getting their hands on a better LiDAR unit, we all know how it went. If they could switch to a better in-house sensor, they would have done so already, and Velodyne is the best of what’s commercially available now. What a

A proper (e.g. non-Uber) self driving car would never take a blind corner at a speed that doesn't allow it to come to a complete stop before it reaches its vision range.

It’s a 4 digit PIN, do you really think hashing would do anything other than amuse hackers?

Unless you build DRM right into camera sensor (which is, admittedly, not that hard), you can use an FPGA chip to receive your source video in HDMI format, convert it to CSI interface and send it to the phone SoC over the camera flex cable.

The actual root cause of #2 is that, along with LiDAR, maps are also on Elon Musk’s “won’t do” list, so instead of comparing radar output to ground truth and detecting a stationary obstacle (which Waymo can do easily), Tesla tries to get by

It’s not really that difficult. Just create a clone app, pass the initial store review, then change the icon/description to be close to the official app in an update, and opt out of AppStore search, so that it can only be accessed thro

Nothing is safe if left unattended. It’s trivial to make a ‘proxy’ RF device that sends your PIN to the attacker and receives whatever data you would expect from your original hardware token.

Have you considered registering your own domain and giving out personalized emails to everyone? E.g. from_blahbank@mydomain.tld? That way, you could rotate most often leaked prefixes regularly without disturbing other recipients.

Say what you want about Windows, but no amount of sneakery can steal input focus from Winlogon window station (yes, there's a separate kernel object for that in NT/Win32K).

The cars certainly don’t measure the traction, not even once per second. You need wheel slip to do that, and constant wheel slip is not a good driving mode. Not to mention the difference between static and dynamic friction. At most cars can

Sure, but that means separated roads without pedestrians, cyclists and non-autonomous vehicles. Not really politically possible. And it's an incompatible system, so you don't have any benefits until you've sunk a huge ton of

Or.. you can use a $2 Arduino Nano clone, a 1¢ 10MΩ resistor and some aluminum foil strips to build one yourself. http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/CapacitiveSensor

It's a question of reliability. When you market an 'autopilot' that periodically crashes into stationary vehicles, you are probably fine using just a camera. If you, on the other hand, are Google, and want to provide an actua
