I must correct myself. It is in Qatar. AFAIK, that should be possible. Here is a presentation about the topic. The interesting information is in last pages. https://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/events/20

That you could do with a super capacitor, but not with a battery. I know of some railway train setup, which is deployed in Saudi Arabia by Siemens, that uses a combination of battery and super caps to power the train. While the train starts

Capacitors are for DC. You but them in your amplifier after the supply, when you have DC. Electric motors, especially the simple ones found in compressors for cooling, are running from AC. You can't put a capacitor into the AC path. Yo

You mean the old PowerBook Series where you could easily swap the batteries on the go and swap the DVD drive for an additional battery.

I does not matter who hosts. Because, if you haven't paid your royalties, your are not allowed to host the remix/meme/... yourself. It hurts also decentralization has anybody who provides space becomes responsible.

A cash-free business: 1.) have a terminal that supports all the different card types 2.) guard the IT infrastructure according to the PCI rules (have you ever needed to implement those, especially for small shop owners with no IT know-how)

Cash is cool. Cash is anonymously. Cash is independent from any payment processor. Cash has no payment fees. Cash does not require power, so it is somehow environment friendly. Cash is just cool.

MobilEye was long time technology provider of the same technology for BMW and later Volvo. MobilEye has basically developed their technology with those companies. Tesla was than later coming into the game as customer of MobilEye. The differ

Bureaucracy is also some type of basic income. Disrupting bureaucracy means also higher unemployment, because that means, that those people have either to find another job or the will live on welfare as well.

That is nothing really new. There are also patents around this, like this one: https://patents.google.com/patent/US8912953B2/

Actually, those systems are designed as backup. They are designed as backup, when the driver does not react. That is the reason why they warn first and initiate an emergency brake only, and only if an accident becomes unavoidable. So that w

I don't know which country you are talking about. Dash cams are of low quality, which means such low light situations are hard for dash cams, but easy for the human eye. That means, if the drive should have take attention, the situatio

Please, remember that the original technology of the so-called Autopilot was bought from MobilEye. Please remember, that MobilEye is a long-time player in this area and have deployed their technology first with BMW and later with Volvo way

Please do not get me started with the argument over "it is open source, so there are many eyes who have seen the code". The problem with that is, nobody audits code, if it is working just for fun. And even if it is buggy, then mos

There is ISO26262 for automotive about safety. Yes, there are reviews, QA, and all of that. So, yes, there is no single person responsible (exceptions apply). But there is no excuse for using 3rd party libs. Just don't use it. If you n

We have this requirement, at least in Europe. There are even ISO standards to follow. The one related is ISO26262. But it seems, this does not apply to those permits issued for these cars by Uber.

Almost all current assitance systems in luxury cars, which are not design for automated driving, could have avoided this situation with activation of the emergency brake. But this car didn't even brake at all? It will be interesting wh

Actually, the takeaway is not about updates. Because the problem is actual intended functionality, that is "misused" for other purposes: indirect function calls. So, the takeaway would be to control, which functionality is needed

A government owned company has easier access to public land and can do that while doing their public infrastructure work. It can go as a more coordinated work and costs can be saved greatly, especially when the property is publicly owned. T

A car software is much much more than just the MMI. A modern full-size luxury sedan has about 110 to 130 electronic control units from simple things like automatically open the doors and the trunk, to complex things like automatic beam ligh

Still don't understand this waste of ressources. Waste of ressources to build this Tesla Roadster. And then the waste to kick it into space. It is not that we are littering our earth itself. We now do it in space as well.

Such devices are using ARM Cortex M0, M1, or M3 processors. Maybe even lower power Atmel stuff like in the Arduino. Such devices are connected via either expansive uplinks or slow uplinks like with LPWAN. For all these applications IOTA is

You know how hash collisions work and why it is important to have an hashing algorithm for which it is hard to enforce collisions. It is so you do not need to know the private key. So that you can forge fraudulent transactions without knowi

Even the double spending problem is not really resolved. Just with the current theft, there are recipes posted[1] on how to recover the stolen IOTA by basically enforcing the double spending and trying to give your spending a higher priorit

The fun part is, that if you want to discuss such details (and I have much more) with an IOTA enthusiast, I get thinks like "I don't understand the technical details, but the founders say so you must be wrong. You are just discred
