This can only mean one thing: we need to watch it again!

Pretty sure the belly was a product of a lot of drinking considering the amount of empty barrels outside the house. 

It was a type of sleeve in which only his polarized glasses could detect if he turns his head. (Not really, but that would be pretty cool)

What Boeing did with 737 Max was unethical. To put it plainly, they had an old design of an airplane and to reduce cost of modernization to meet new standards, they cut corners. I don’t think safety was their ultimate objective; it was more like “what’s the requirement so I can fulfill it at bare minimum” It was

I get your being pedantic with the definition, but I get what he’s trying to say in context of the discussion. We’re not 1.0 AI.

Actually, the DMV handbook indicates that you should also ensure that your vehicle is regularly and properly maintained. But we don’t, because it’s inconvenient.

If the car is steering itself, but I have to keep my hands on the wheel and monitor its steering constantly, then what the hell is the point of autopilot? I’m still driving, I’m just wrestling a computer for decisionmaking control”

“The reality is that Elon can’t get there on vision alone. He needs sensing in the out-of-visible spectrum.”

The way I will be convinced of Lidar is for Waymo to test their vehicles in LA traffic.

Also, if you have seen the path prediction demo, it actually predicts the path of the road ahead, even around corners it could not see. That’s what the new 144 TOPs@<100W system

Forget about snow or rain. Question is, can lidar even detect a stop light or road signs?

I’ll do you one better. Why is 370 miles?!

Then you haven’t watched the event at all. Every criticisms brought so far are dismissing everything brought up. Even the guy who commented about a bicycle on the back of the van, which has been covered already. 

Watch the engineer’s presentation. One thing Lidar cannot do is add context to the vision or read signs.

Then you have “rocket motors” and “heat engine”.

Another problem with supplier is different battery technologies. LG Chem used pouch cell; Panasonic, cylindrical; and so on. Different battery management and cooling. So once they stick with LG Chem, they’re stuck with that supplier.

Why are we talking about this? The Boring Company is not publicly traded company. What’s the point?

Oh wow! What a difference! Actually makes me want to buy one*.

Pfft! My velcro idea is way more effective.

Would I be able to learn how to say “no”? ... Maybe
