I find it absolutely incredible that not only has humanity created *one* of these ultra-cars...we've made FOUR of them...all about the same time. That might be as near a representation of a trillion dollars in human effort sitting on the track right there.
So *that's* why every car on the road looks like a cop car these days...
If it floats, flies or fornicates...rent it.
Be lucky if he didn't break his nose by pulling the trigger.
If anything it needs to be bigger. If you're gonna make a bonkers car...put a GT3 spoiler on there!
"The band" is worthless by itself. It's just radio signal...just like every other radio signal we already use. It's not some new fancy anti-car-crashing-magic. It's radio. And no, just calling it "mesh networking" does *not* make it trivial. The things that would need to be built to make said networking work have…
You are incorrect. It's people such as yourself that lack understanding of the big picture.
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!
