The “driver” part of the equation is something I’m sure we’ll figure out in the next 10 years. It’s all the other things drivers do that artificial intelligence can’t do. (At least, not well.) Pulling up to a loading dock? Navigating extremely tight turns? Cleaning the inside of the trailer? Repairing the reefer?

I thought they had this technology for some time now

I have no problem with this. It’s just a little hatchback. Okay to trade a couple mpg for a couple inches lift that make it easier to get in and out. Why shouldn’t Toyota make a boring little CrossTrek competitor? My mom loves her Kona, it’s the ideal grandma mobile. Safe, cheap, easy to operate, just enough tech…

On second thought it looks like a Subaru in the front and a Toyota in the back. My previous point still stands though

Well it’s a Toyota alright 

I will start to cheer for this project when they have two lane and a 30+ people cars

Just FYI, UK uses 240V as their standard supply same as Australia and many other places. Still that’s 10 + amps per mining rig, WTF kind of PSU’s do they use?

In the event of a fire: Don’t panic. Elon has a drawing on a napkin for exactly how to build a submarine. They’ll just fill the tunnel with water and come and rescue you. 

I’m guessing it would depend on the power consumption of the neighbors. If it’s an industrial area those miners might have been able to be within the normal monthly power fluctuations of an industrial setup. Essentially it was about 100 computers and if that’s split between even two industrial neighbors, I could see…

I believe there are 1. no escape hatches / doors and 2. no ventilation systems.

Those are also classic signs of a weed farm, though. Grow lights, irrigation, and temperature control require a lot of electricity. (And if you’re already illegally growing pot, you’re probably not paying for it!)

I assume he kills people that do this.

This is the truest comment I’ve seen on Giz in a long-ass time. Proof-of-work crypto is a crime against the entire planet.

We should swap the legal status on these two things.

I still do not understand why did does not have a fast lane. On the ceiling. For F1 cars.

Someone needs to tell Elon that it’s okay to just say “Actually guys, nevermind. This one is a bad idea”.

If they were smart when these tunnels were built, there would be a escape doors along the route and a way to close off the tunnels and limit oxygen as well as provide extinguishing foam..........I’m not expecting anything that smart though

Yes.

If I grow wings and lose weight I might one day be able to fly, maybe.

These silly tunnels are still happening? I had no idea. I figured people had realized that there's nothing revolutionary about building tunnels..
