Well, humans tend to only face criminal charges if the problem was willful (which may include willful DWI). The closest direct equivalent with driverless is that the vehicle may lose its right to operate until the problem has been corrected

Ha, I actually watched that video earlier today. I'm definitely hoping that they get this into full production, as it really does look like an exciting vehicle. We had gone a long time without any new successful car companies, and now

I think it is great that they are starting to think about this, but I find the approach profoundly disappointing. While it is a bit silly in form at the moment, this test is starting in a much more useful direction, IMO: https://

To be fair, bringing the Lucid Air into this is like bringing the Tesla Roadster or Tri-Motor Cybertruck into it. They don't exist yet except as prototypes.

He can't explain that any more than the OP can explain why having the speedometer slightly to the right is more distracting than hidden behind the steering wheel.

Yep, and they appear to be doing it for less money than their competitors too.

The one in Georgia is pronounced that way too.

The post we are responding to had only one smart TV element involved, and that was the door camera. The rest was about thermostats, light control, and window shades. I think its fair to point out that those things don't have to be prop

Who said anything about big corporations? Maybe all of his stuff uses zigbee or z-wave and is controlled by FOSS controllers?

That sounds like exactly what the headline says, though.

I think most do not consider a truck or an RV to be a "car". The literal definition doesn't seem to make a distinction though, strangely.

Saying that computer vision can view the world with snow present is hardly the same as claiming that computers can do literally anything a human can. On the contrary, having computer vision capable of handling snow is a necessary preconditi

Its a hard problem, but LIDAR has similar issues. Snow can cause noise for other sensors as well. In each case it seems like these issues are not insurmountable. I don't expect that any self-driving systems will start out with handling

If the mistake only happened once, its just as likely to be an "improvement" from the editor who actually doesn't know why one is correct.

At least it doesn't use milliamp hours per hour as a unit. I'm pretty sure one of the cars actually does that with KW (Kwh/hr).

I completely agree. In our neighborhood, I see a lot of folks pushing for 1Gb for better netflix and youtube. Uh, do you really have 10 people doing separate 4k videos? Its just overkill. Upload on the other hand is far more important than

Sure, but the horse era was before efficient solutions to those problems as well. Cf, "night soil" and the processes used to (try) to keep it from stinking up the city.

by jsight 6y ago
You think its a small problem? Imagine as many horses as cars in a dense urban environment, each one using those bags. Now how do you get all those bags out without garbage trucks? It isn't as easy a problem as our modern minds might i

One of the motivating factors behind late 19th century horseless carriages was the reduction in pollution. It isn't at all accurate to say that horses don't pollute. In some respects their pollution is worse.

I completely agree. If this were just using a cigarette lighter connector or USB-C, I'd have a hard time seeing the issue. In all the Teslas that I'm familiar with, both are connected behind an electronic fuse to protect the car a

I didn't understand your reply until I realized that I had specifically mentioned the driveshaft. On those vehicles that you mention, it'd be much harder as you'd have to drop the transmission and connect to the crankshaft. N

Interesting, I hadn't heard of that but it does make sense.

Modern lead acid batteries can still vent hydrogen, which can be a risk in an enclosed space.

The problem is that they can legitimately claim more than that. This massively increases the workload on the DC-DC converter, arguably voiding its warranty as well. Obviously there are things that should still be covered, but there is more

I'd think it would be more like hooking the driveshaft of the ICE vehicle to a generator and running it under significant load. No miles would register but you'd still be putting a lot of wear on the engine. I doubt the warranty f

I feel like any model that is based on earnings during the covid era is going to have a few issues. When earnings fall simultaneously, combined with large stimulus, things will get pretty interesting. I'm not saying it isn't overv

Oh, thanks, I was not aware of Lightsail at all. It seems like this brings them much closer to being a competitive offering.

I'm curious what metrics you use to determine that the market is currently overvalued as a whole?

It seems to me that these services are much more cost effective than AWS.

Maybe, but now we've got phones with 12 GB. It doesn't seem like the difference can be particularly significant.
