And if you want to get really crazy and spend a lot of money you can use spread-spectrum radios. ;-)

HFT is pushing ping times down to ridiculous levels. It's not about today's technology, it's about the things that are made for specialized purposes that eventually get used for other purposes in other fields. Like the space program. Regular old switching equipment is going to be really, really good because of the…
Thank you.
And what do you think will happen when you've got several hundred automobiles in the same area all talking to each other over the same frequency? I don't think any of the commenters here understand the difficulty of managing hundreds, or even thousands, of connections like that.
I don't think the controls to the car should be hooked up to anything outside the car at all...specialized radio frequencies or no. The car cannot rely on things outside of its control to be either autonomous or safe.
Again, someone not paying attention to what's going on around them. Latency is quickly becoming a thing of the past and you can thank the high frequency traders for that. We'll be below millisecond pings well before driverless cars hit the road. Direct communication will have lag of its own as connection management…
The "internet", you know, this big ass packet delivery system we have connected to just about everything? Something that isn't reliant upon a single tiny piece of the spectrum to enable communications? We've got eight flavors of cell phone radio, a half a dozen wifi standards, bluetooth, NFC, etc, etc. Hell, maybe…
I'm not so sure this is such a terrible thing...other than in the sense that this is nothing more than a way to give away public property to government cronys...which is really worse than any other implications, imo.
D'oh!
No streaming on Netflix or Amazon :-(
I've not seen the film so I don't know the context...but even with that being Steve McQueen, American, I think the gesture still means what you think it means.
Or F1 teams ought to just go compete at Le Mans/WEC and ditch F1 altogether. I'm talking to you, Ferrari...
You obviously don't ever watch any baseball or news.
Is this futbol or hockey? If this happened in baseball the entire team would be on the field beating this guy's ass.
McLaren also has a brilliant service program that keeps these cars in fantastic shape. You can drive it and still keep it new or like-new....and that $10 million dollar price tage sure makes $20,000 oil changes a lot easier to eat. Are you going to spend the money on the service to protect your $10 million…
That's my favorite thing about these. Very few of them not being driven regularly I suspect. It's my understanding that McLaren also has a fantastic service program for these vehicles, keeping them in new or near new shape, even after 20 years of use.
The day my phone becomes judgmental of me is the day it gets thrown against the fucking wall.
Qualified 2 and 4 out of 9.
No, this is right at home in France. Ish. At least it is in the FFL.
