There's no need to be rude calling someone an oil tanker captain. I am talking from a manufacturing standpoint as well, not just making sure that the truck doesn't weigh too much. To be fair, EV just weigh a lot, but you can do a

Cybertruck is doing steer by wire and they also transitioned to 48V away from 12V. So much of the technology showcased in the cybertruck will be coming to a new Tesla vehicle sometime in the future as they work out the supply issue.

Door handle hadn't confused me once I figured it out on my Tesla. Also, I wouldn't judged a car's or a truck's safety without a crash test report. I like the big touchscreen, but I must admit that I also like buttons. Th

I was thinking in terms of augmenting our capabilities. Absolutely there is a lot of value in this tech for dealing with medical issues and for monitoring. That's a narrow interpretation of augmentation. Being able to modify one'

My point is that wearable (or implantable) cybernetics lead to an incremental improvement on how easily or frequently we can do what we already do as individuals, but they but they don’t fundamentally change the things we can do. Sci-fi ma

Do people who get pacemakers or cochlear implants or organ transplants need counselling or is it just not a problem for most people? I personally never found them to be weird or scary. I think they're really cool, though the closest

I've always thought that it is a bit close-minded to focus on wearable technology when it comes to human augmentation. It's not me that's being enhanced. It's a device external to me. That's why I am not excited

Why would electric car improve our traffic situation? They're just more efficient than ICE cars. Maybe it will lead to smaller vehicles, but we could have used motorcycles instead. So you have self driving cars, which will probably imp

I would say that's a straw vulcan. Emotion are data and drivers of our actions. A Vulcan would not say "emotions are illogical." They would say "What does this emotion says and does it make sense in this situation?"

I am just saying that in my suburban context, a bike could make sense if there's proper bike infrastructure. It would also make sense if there's a plan to reduce the amount of traffic because the road is used for through traffic b

Most people live in urban areas. Even in suburban areas, the bicycle could be a viable form of transportation. My grocery store is literally under ten minutes away by bike, but it is essentially a nightmare to bike to because of a lack of s
