That’s actually a good question. Let’s take the wagon full of smartphones as an example.

V2x information, for now, does not include anything critical to driving tasks. This is broadcast information, like “I am vehicle x and I’m intending to turn at the intersection”, “I am the overpass 750m ahead, and it’s icy”, or “I’m roadside marker 5 km ahead - there is slow traffic.”

Nothing needs to be ‘hack-proof’; and to be honest, nothing can be ‘hack-proof’.

The V2x infrastructure isn’t secured by user passwords.

And soon as you allow cars to communicate truthful information to one another, people will be able to communicate malicious information instead.

Because NHTSA used their rulemaking authority, after being lobbied by interest groups, to require emergency egress from trunks by issuing FMVSS 401. You can probably lobby NHTSA all you want, or at least until it’s disbanded; but you aren’t going to get any new rulemaking for the next four years.

You can even use an agile philsophy to generate your ISO26262 (Functional Safety for Road Vehicles) artifacts. The later artifacts, like the safety goals and technical safety requirements, become user stories for future planning increments and sprints.

The dictionary allows either:

It’s not really valid though. There’s three numbers, the variable cost per unit, the margin per unit, and the fixed costs that get amortized over volume.

Using your phone as a key.

“It’s one that gives the Nautilus more than 500 miles 148 leauges of range per tank, too.

Nope. As I mentioned in my followup comment, I owned a ‘93 as my DD, and put ~120k miles on it.

But I did own one. I put about 120,000 miles on a ‘93 Ranger extended cab with the V6 and 5 speed. Every time I wanted to haul something more than a couple of bags of mulch; the bed was too small. Every morning and afternoon commute was an uncomfortable jounce down the road. Every long road trip was a punishing…

Generally, the compact pickup trucks of the late 20th century, specifically, he 1983-1992 version of the Ford Ranger.

Not only would I buy this for $2500, I would spend money to restore it and take it to all the car shows. I tire of seeing endless rows of mid-60s GTOs and Bel-Airs, a mid-90s Chevy would be just the thing to make shows interesting.

Also, calling this a ‘test track’ is a bit of an oversell. It’s a barely more than a tarted-up parking surface:

“Two elementary school students were seriously injured while on a field trip to Ford’s test track in Auburn Hills, Michigan”

When I first enrolled my child in driver’s ed; they specifically mentioned not to put Student Driver stickers on the car. Their reasoning was that people wouldn’t drive normally around them and they wouldn’t develop any “drive in traffic” skills.

The Bayesian sinks, killing one defendant; and the other is killed by a car collision. What are the odds of that?
