Tesla uses the same Tier 1 suppliers as any other automaker, so I don't really see why the Tesla production would be more vertically integrated. They have their own batteries but so do traditional automakers have their own ICEs and oth

Yes it does, if it's faulty in some way it should be fixed in future versions and the results of the investigation should be public so that everyone in the industry can learn from that, just like in aviation. Apart from that, more peop

I know C but no Assembler, so this looks like a good way to get more familiar with what's going on under the hood. It would be really neat if you could click on each instruction/register to get a short summary, though.

Of course culture is more than food or dance, but what's wrong with trying those as a way to have a glimpse into the Indian culture? I don't think anyone claimed to be expert on Indian culture after having a butter chicken. What w

Maybe Germans are afraid of many things, but none of those listed things in the article have something to do the buying electric vehicles. Regarding "warning the public", from your statement I would have assumed a larger effort th

That's just not true, especially the part about warning the public and people fearing to lose jobs over buying electric cars. Sounds completely made up to me.

There is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TaxiBot . In 2011 Lufthansa also did some tests with an electric taxi system in the main gear of an A320 but I couldn't find anything more recent on that.

HP had some laptops with a blue trackpoint in the past, e.g. the tc4400 convertible.

Not sure why this is downvoted, Tesla won't have the MobileEye system for new models and they want to roll out their own machine vision system, which is even more important now due to the new suite of cameras. That will take some time.

The technology to realize an autopilot in a car and in a plane is very different though, they might provide similar functionality to the pilot/driver but in a car it's a much more complex and much less reliable system, involving m

I think eating a few bowls of rice per day (usually combined with a lot of veggies and some meat) is something that has been done in Asia for a long time, why would it be related to a recent increase in diabetes?

Parking is done with ultrasonic sensors. I am pretty sure that Tesla currently does not have rear radars.

by wibr 10y ago
As far as I know, the driver has to make sure that it's safe to change lanes. Other manufacturers have rear facing radars for this.

by wibr 10y ago
Tesla definitely used the radar for their autopilot before the update, now they just increased its responsibility. The autopilot still needs the camera, at least for lane detection. They won't be able to achieve similar or better resul

I always thought that Ara might be a useful platform not so much for smartphones but for all those hand-held custom devices, you could plug in a credit card reader, laser, special cameras, voltmeter or whatever you need.

Looks very promising. Self-driving cars will need algorithms like this to understand as much as possible of the environment that they see through the cameras. I think currently things like those ropes that the shepherd is holding in the pic

I first learned Python and then much later C, and for me at least learning Python first was very motivating because you can get things done so easily, due to the built-in batteries and the wealth of external libraries. Seeing that the compu
