Absolutely not, you can’t change direction without grip - angular momentum and weight are what cause lateral loads, after all. The thing is, AWD makes it easier to get going by letting you put engine torque through all four tires. The same

Hydroplaning means you have a layer of water between your tires and the road surface. Regardless of whether you have two driven wheels or four, if they aren't making contact with the road you aren't putting any power down and your

Torque is highly relevant, the entire 'benefit' of AWD is being able to distribute torque to all four wheels instead of two. Thing is, with winter tires even a Prius has enough mechanical grip to put the extra torque from the MG&#

The weight of your vehicle and heat in your tires (plus the heat generated by friction) causes slush, snow and light ice to melt. If your tires have aggressive enough treads they are just pushing the water away and making contact with the r

My Prius can climb a hill like a champ, until the battery is drained and the poor ICE is all that's turning the driveshaft. Torque matters when it comes to hills, not the number of wheels connected to a driveshaft.

Traction (mechanical grip) is always distributed among four tires according to physics of center of mass, velocity and angle of travel - AWD does not change that. That said, AWD will let you put power down earlier into a corner because th

The mistake most people with AWD make can be summed up in one of my favorite phrases: even two wheel drive has four wheel braking. Winter driving is all about grip, having the extra drive wheels does nothing to help your tires maintain mech

With the proliferation of drones the entire ADS-B system would get overwhelmed, which is why the rules explicitly state that uSAS' are NOT allowed to transmit on ADS-B. Not to mention ADS-B OUT is expensive as all hell, power hungry an

After reading the rules, I don't see any technical standards on how the system must be implemented - so it's entirely likely that the work DJI has already done on "Drone to Phone" broadcast identification can be retrofit

They kind of fall in with the rules published by the FAA here, and previously were more or less a requirement to get a waiver before said rules. The whole worry about flight over people is two-fold: 1. Props still spinning waiting to cut pe

Most (if not all?), like the SafeAir line from ParaZero [0] physically power off the drone before deployment to eliminate both factors as risks. This also allows them to handle flyaway situations effectively, making them useful even when yo

RF can still be expensive depending on how it needs to be implemented. As a casual drone pilot I’m still concerned about how this is going to effect cost, existing equipment in the field and hobby/home-built uSAS’s. I’ll still take it

Groan, take an upvote. In all seriousness, many of the devices in this space are woefully insecure - this is just a library to control them using whatever native protocols they expose.

I would argue the driving is in fact where GTA IV was 10 years ago - awful. The vehicles are completely unresponsive, taking forever to brake and suffer from massive understeer even at reasonable speeds.

If you’re building new, then, yeah, getting a board and CPU with ECC support will cost you. This is why most homelabbers buy server gear that’s been decommissioned, my R3/4/520’s with Ivy Bridge-EN chips may not be top of the line
