Exactly. It seems like the complaint here is that creating a limited is more involved. And it is - but not much. Yes, there is a cost for the notary and accountant and that makes it a bit expensive if you want to create subsidies later. But

The company exists from the moment you decide to create it. [0] This company is already an "entity" and can act accordingly. It can, for example, make contracts, hire, buy stuff and open a bank account. The main difference is that

You can. You use your new/unregistered company name and the suffix "in formation" ("i.G."). Technically the company exists immediately in this "i.G." form without any paper work or process from the moment

I did it, it's very easy. It just requires opening a bank account and then an appointment at the notary. All in all it takes about two hours. Obviously in Germany the documents are in German, this should not be a surprise. Most people

> why use 8 cameras? At least 6 are needed to get a 360 degree view around the car, which obviously is necessary. Think of the 8 cameras as a single better sensor. It's a question of having one very good sensor then or many to fuse.

I think the key point he‘s trying to make is that the size of the fleet is more important than the quality of the sensor. The risk would be reduced by a better system and he seems to be convinced that rolling out vision to more and cheaper

I‘m ready to be convinced that this will be true at some point for the ultrasonic sensors. But by design the radar can see things that vision can never see. It seems like a bad idea to take that away.

Why? compare the weight of SUVs or trucks. It's more than the battery weight, so better hope for smaller vehicles.

The batteries will typically last longer than the car. Especially LFP batteries, such as the Tesla Model 3 has. More than enough range and LFP batteries are expected to last 3000 cycles or more (more than one million kilometers).
