I've never understood what their lead in batteries really is. Isn't it well known that Panasonic manufacturers and supplies battery cells to Tesla? And cost-wise LG Chem seems competitive enough to Panasonic anyway, keeping in min

I don't agree with the reasoning. Since we all know that a few currency notes are stolen sometime, the entire usd cash system will be shut down?

Considering that India is still industrializing, I'd argue 1 century later is massively better than 4 century later.

Interesting. Its different in India, where it's not the salary but the prestige that drives people to become professors. Even the research opportunities are limited, and industry pays much more.

Same here in India. People oppose hsr train as a waste of money in favor of centuries old infrastructure. The same people also believe that if we should move to a new technology, it should be hyperloop, rejecting maglev on the way. They eit

How much of the positive is the result of British empire? And does it offset poverty caused by centuries of colonialism?

Why are your options autopilot can unaided human? Wouldn't you compare autopilot va autopilot assisted human? That is, where the autopilot is a passive system that only comes into play to prevent accidents.

What if Tesla released autopilot as a completely passive accident prevention driving assist? Tesla seems to be allowing only two options - one with no driving assistance, and one where they can call it autonomous.

That's what I disagree with. Tesla customers are just looking for the next status symbol. I have talked to enough tesla owners and fans to tell you that they haven't even heard of Renault Zoe or BYD ev300. And they would never con

And Renault Zoe, and BYD ev300. There are electric cars available all round the world, but somehow Tesla got the hype up that they are the only one.

Motors aren't a secret technology. And Panasonic makes the batteries and sells to Tesla. The only thing Tesla can sell as technology is Autopilot, which is just hyped up driver assistance. Have you even heard of electric cars like Rena
