I originally thought that the nhtsa would perform some tests of this kind but I was disappointed to find out that this doesn't seem to be the case. Most focus on pedestrian safety seems to be on automatic emergency braking and other AD

Yes I don't think it should be allowed in Europe, yet the outrage I see, also from, Americans, as if this is some new never seen before level of danger on the road is unreasonable.

>And it may well help launch it, but that’s where its relevance ends. You can expand in parallel. If Starship works you can launch 100 spacecraft instead of 1, or in other words, you can expand your system by a factor of 100 "in par

It's basically the same size as an F-150. It has a crumple zone although it probabl only activates for hard car collisions. I've seen no evidence that it is significantly worse for pedestrian safety than an F-150. Which is not goo

What I'm saying is that it might be the case that "capability c" (somehow measures as a positive scalar) of your fused sensor system is not the sum c = c_1 + ... + c_n of the capabilties of each sensor c_i, but more like c =

I think if you have two sensor systems with one being significantly less capable than the other, the gain from having both quickly diminishes. I believe Tesla dropped the radar because it was simply outclassed by the camera in 99% of circum

So Starship+Superheavy have about 4.6kt of propellant which should mean about 1kt of methane. That's about 2.5kt CO2 per flight which yields 2.5mt CO2 annually for 1000 launches. The US releases around 4.4Gt CO2 annually so you end up

Because you should consider the upside when you mention the downsides. 1000 Starships launching a year can mean exoplanet imaging, drilling on Europa, interstellar probes, an actual Mars colony, asteroid mining, brilliant pebbles, O'Ne

Just earlier today I wanted to check if exp(inx) is an orthonormal basis on L^2((0, 1)) or if it needs normalization. This is an extremely trivial one though. Less trivially I had an issue where a paper claimed that a certain white noise, a
