In case you didn't understand the other reply, you can't use newtons in this context. Kilograms is perfectly fine here. The thrust of the engine can (and should) be measured in newtons though. Also, 4 decimal points of precision i

Not genius, not by a long shot. It's not surprising they're doing this. Even Waymo has human operators for emergency situations.

> There are two futures, both bad. The more likely scenario is a natural oscillation between these two outcomes, similar to how animals maintain oscillating population equilibrium that's controlled by space, resources and predation.

That was going to be my follow on question. Presumably the answer is a bunch of tele-operators in a 3rd world country, based on this article.

Do you think that there exists a big-enough market of consumers who will happily pay a recurring subscription for FSD-esque features in their car? What would be the price point of such a subscription? I struggle to think of a cost that stri
