I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that mechanical fail-safes shouldn’t count since they’re not normally active. If that’s accepted the first would be the 2014 Infiniti Q50. They’re also 20 years behind the curve for giving a pickup rear-steer, but at least with it being standard equipment they won’t have…

I can understand promoting American assembled vehicles, but then excluding EVs makes no sense. This really strikes me as what I call malicious-legislation in which it not only sets out to actively undo existing legislation, but intentionally negate whatever said legislation set out to accomplish.

Doesn’t seem to be the case; there’s no mechanical linkage whatsoever. Even the Infiniti system could fail safe to a mechanical linkage was not coupled in normal operation.

Realistically the speed of the steering is fine and it’s not so much lag (or in other words, a response delay) as it is the operator is able to move the steering wheel faster than the steering rack can actually move. In a conventional steering system you’ll meet some resistance in the steering wheel that prevents you…

Also worth pointing out that they’re not fed ONLY corn. The corn is more of a filler with other additions into the feed bringing the nutritional value.

I said pretty well the same thing at the end of my first comment.

Just to be clear I’m not even trying to apologize/minimize what Elon or Neuralink are doing, but it seems like there’s an awful lot of speculation in this case about what the risk really is without anything to substantiate it.

I keep seeing reference to this being a safety risk, but no where is it said what those risks are. At face level it appears to be a performance risk, but appears to pose little or limited health/safety risk to the patient.

What’s crazy to me is they could have claimed that the Cybertruck can do a 13s quarter mile while towing a car and that would still be extremely impressive. But it’s on-brand for them to cherry pick numbers and misrepresent what their products can actually do.

It depends on what kind of stuff I’m bringing with me for business trips, but I usually check a bag about 75% of the time. So far I’ve never had an issue.

So... this is a problem with the Atlas V which isn’t designed, built or maintained by Boeing. Why is the article capping off with:

I came to the same conclusion; no real opportunity to block the path sooner other than by a second or two.

See my reply to Fuzzy Wuzzy.

Sure, but if you’re going to test out an unknown you really should work your way up to the potential for unavoidable pain.

It’s unfortunate the rider got seriously injured, but I really fail to see what the cop should have done differently except perhaps block the path a little sooner. On the flip side the rider could have:

Maybe, just maybe, if you’re going to do this test don’t put your appendage up near the hinge where mechanical advantage is going to make that frunk wayyyy less sensitive to your moment of bravado.

It’s a fine long term goal, but the image processing just isn’t there yet to do this reliably. Not to mention relying on only vision has gotten us humans in trouble (motorcycles during dusk/dawn, anyone?). Autonomy should strive to be better than humans and that encourages using added sensors to perceive things we…

The trouble with omni wheels is they really only work well on flat surfaces. Make one wheel loose contact or traction and suddenly you’re facing the wrong direction.

That’s been my curiosity as well. It’s the same added weight and aerodynamic load; why is the cybertruck affected worse by it?
