Both. And fewer stress concentrations leads to lower weight because you could reduce the amount of structure. Unless the engineer expects to be a passenger, of course, in which case he might hope to look out a window ;-)

Cool; I figured as much but just thought I’d ask. :) Thanks for the response!

We aren’t yet at a place where we can mandate equipment on trucks that could reliably do what you are asking (the mandate implying it would have to be economically viable in addition to being effective)... the technology only barely works on expensive niche vehicles in the US.

You don’t, after all, want imperfect…

So if I’m about to get T-boned, see it coming, and take action to get out of the way by ramming a runaway shopping cart that happens to be in front of me. This system will help me out by applying the brakes?

And now it is just “K”.

Gators... so many gators.

I have a crappy wi-fi connection that requires me to reset at least once a week. So I built a bluetooth switch with an Arduino to “unplug” the router for 30 seconds. It certainly costs more and looks worse than market solutions, but it was fun to do as one of my first Arduino projects.

Under the Skin was difficult...that toddler still screams in my nightmares

I was connected via AC, in the basement, more than 20 feet from the router upstairs and I had zero issues.

Edit: NVM, kinja brain-fart.

Again, this is not a failure of design, it is a failure of proper use.

the supporting arm completely snapped off, no support

Not much different conceptually from pykrete, is it? Except using dirt instead of ice.

What an amazing line of work. Can you imagine making something so cherished that people 100’s of years from now are working to keep it pristine?
