The point is acknowledging that over a million people die per year on the roads due to human error and trying to help beta test software that would help bring that number down over 90% so that our kids can have a better future.

The anti-BEV folks seem to be stuck on old arguments that either weren't true in the first place or were true a few years ago but not anymore due to rapid change. The batteries are a small part of the CO2 footprint of a car as a whole,

Newer generations batteries in production right now are not using any cobalt

This guy is knocking EVs because they may draw power from a dirty grid in some parts of the world, therefore we should be selling more PHEVs? What a ridiculous argument. Of course he conveniently leaves out the trajectory we’re heading in,

In my experience we’ve hit bottom when everyone agrees we haven’t yet hit bottom. Which seems to be around now. In other words everyone who was going to sell has already sold. Unless more surprise bad news comes out.

So what's the strategy moving forward? The operation clearly hasn't permanently solved crime, the next generation of organized crime bosses won't trust any apps to handle their secrets, so I guess their communication just mov

Then they should not be using autopilot. When I have autopilot engaged I am way more alert. Also you aren’t “doing nothing” when you have autopilot engaged. The car annoys you if it doesn’t sense any force on the wheel within 10 seconds and

If we’re going to try to have autonomous vehicles, at some point these things have to be tested on real roads. Would you rather have a real human behind the wheel to take over in an instant or just have the computer plow through whatever if

In the same boat. I remember following this story since I was in high school

$380k is not wealthy. Most people can live just fine on $380k, don’t get me wrong, but it is basically upper middle class. If $380k/yr is wealthy then what is $20 million/yr?

You are distracted by clickbait news and ignoring important advances made since 2008, a few examples which is just scratching the surface because there is a ton I am personally not even aware of: * Greatly reduced cost of solar panels and b

Why anyone would risk prison or death to watch a soccer game is beyond me

by jliptzin 4y ago
There have been a ton of real technological advances since 2008 that is not just on paper. You could have also said the exact same thing in 2000.

Yes but it’s not as effective of a headline if you’re trying to drum up outrage from the double digit IQ club.

I would assume those light rays reflect off the roof instead of getting absorbed…in that case the heat is absorbed into the atmosphere, I have a hard time believing it sits around the house and lingers there for any significant amount of ti

I would never expect perfection from something that is mass produced regardless of the price

Nothing stopping it from going to $1. Bitcoin is just as functional at $1 as it is at $50k.

Wasn’t it Volkswagen that cheated on the emissions? People love to talk about their morals and not giving money to support things they see as evil but when push comes to shove and it’s time to make a purchase, 99% just throw that out the wi

This is true, my last car (Lexus RX), every time I took it to the dealer for oil changed or inspections it mysteriously always needed $1,000+ in repairs. Then I started taking it to an auto shop my friend recommended and suddenly I never ha

You seem like you are probably in the top 1% of picky customers. The one problem I had in my 3 year old model 3, which was fairly urgent, was fixed in 2 days. Issues from your list like “tesla mobile app incorrectly identifies car as 100D”

What are you going to switch to out of curiosity? Are you going back to ICE?

I am half your age but I feel the same way. The sun is going to blow up one day anyway and no one really knows why we’re here in the first place. So, I’m going to enjoy my small slice of time any way I can.

It is pretty unfortunate, I don’t know how else people think we’re going to solve driverless cars and eventually save tens of thousands of people from dying in car crashes every year in the US. At some point these systems need to be tested

It’s possible I hit the brake the same time as the car did and just didn’t notice, we’re talking fractions of a second here. Like I said in a previous comment, since I had the autopilot on I was able to look at more of my surroundings rathe

When was the last time you used it? A couple years ago, it wouldn’t go 10 minutes before I had to intervene because of a phantom break or some other stupid/weird thing it was doing. But just last week, I engaged FSD and Autopilot when

I agree 100%. It definitely makes me a safer driver because I can pay attention to other things that may be going on 7 cars away when I don’t have to micromanage the job of staying in the lane and making sure I’m at the correct distance bet

I have always wondered, let’s say we eventually invent some technology that allows us to travel through space at .1c or .5c or even .99c, wouldn’t the ship colliding with a tiny piece of space dust/debris rip the whole thing apart at t
