AEB systems are limited by sensor range and computing power, and then must be tuned to have a very low rate of false positives. The system needs to detect the potential crash partner, determine the likelihood of impact from their relative trajectories, determine whether that likelihood meets the threshold for…

But if you’re a smart driver

Article summary: The system is not perfect, so lets just scrap it all.

That’s because they’re only federally tested in daylight up to 50mph

I’m against those wars but did those wars shut down the world economy? No.

“Musk faces a RICO Act investigation”

I feel like now would be a good timed to point out that there is a huge difference between the RICO case described in this article and a civil RICO case.

This is exactly Hyperloop - trains inside elevated, mostly evacuated tubes using linear induction motors/magnetic levitation.

Which shouldn’t be confused with Loop, which is the tunnel system running Teslas in Vegas created by Musk’s other other company, The Boring Company. Loop and Hyperloop share nothing but part…

Knowing Toyota, it’ll be equipped with a 5", 16-color, 640x480 resolution screen, with touch sensitivity so bad you’ll think you’re going to break the damn thing before it registers a touch.

I also work in the power industry here in San Diego. The grid is fine, we will need more transmission to be built for more renewables and batteries, but California’s electric sector planning, particularly the resource adequacy program has lagged behind the renewable build out since 2015 that many gas resources were…

Yeah, this is weird. There’s a perfectly good legal path to take if you truly feel you’ve been wronged by a company. 

They made a video where they put cones on each side so the car couldn’t change course, and had the driver press down on the accelerator, causing a warning that AEB won’t work. Then they made the video too low resolution to read screen, but it’s easy to determine that the message is there.

California hasn’t really had an issue handling electrical loads in quite a while.
Peak demand as the sun sets they have occasional issue but its really pretty minor. 

Shutdowns due to fire risk is however a major problem.

Net population was a loss of 117k in 2021.

In 2021, 360k “moved out” but 80k moved in (280k net loss in state-to-state migration); and an additionally 43k moved in internationally. Then you also have births vs. deaths (exacerbated by COVID). And again, this is after 10 years with a 5.8% net increase in population.

Peo…

They can always delay implementation if the tech doesn’t get there in time. Nothing wrong with setting the goal post and seeing if we can meet it because, if we are being honest, we won’t meet it without someone setting the goal post.

Lithium batteries have been around longer than Bluetooth has been around. Or touch screens, at least in mass market items.

Did you even read that link?

The writing has been on the wall for this change for a decade. Auto manufacturers purposefully drug their feet on the transition, spending tens of millions on kickbacks and political corruption, to try to delay it so they could juice some extra short term profit. They aren’t going to transition without a mandate, and…

Clickbait headline.

Is there anything in those “franchise laws” that says GM has to give any allocations of desirable cars to these scum bags? Seems like it’d be awfully easy to just say “no Corvettes for you” to anyone caught pulling this bullshit.
