X-33 VentureStar SSTO, another opportunity lost to shortsighted politicians.

Where’s the video of the pizza robot at work?

Tesla does NOT pay the employees. Their W2 does not say Tesla. If they got a check to would not say Tesla. Tesla pays the temp agency a rate per employee they provide. Tesla does not pay the employee of the temp agency. If Tesla is requiring the temp agency employees to work thru their breaks that that is on Tesla. If…

Under previous administrations NK did not have a proven ability to deliver a nuke to Hawaii. Does anyone believe that had anyone else other than Trump been elected that Kim Jung-il would have done anything different over the last year?

Sir, your math needs some work. Your $500 a year at 8% yields roughly $235,171 if you start at 18 and retire at 66. You are not going to starve on that in a year. I know your trying to make a point but please do it with factual data not with what you think will have the most impact..

I don’t see any covers, doors, or openings on the skirts for filling the fuel tanks on the right side. Not a truck expert here. Do trucks have filling tubes on both sides or are the tanks cross-connected?

Unionization will lead to hire wages and better benefits which will drive corporations to more rapidly automate the positions and remove the expense. What has to happen is that we need to make it more profitable for the corporation to keep the worker that to replace the worker with automation. Maybe the solution is to…

Been there and done that and you are absolutely right!!!

I think you have to balance the number of deaths from shelling against the number of deaths if they nuke Seoul instead. I believe that just as they hold Seoul hostage today with conventional weapons, they will do the same with Nukes as soon as they can. I do not think we can let this go on forever because I believe…

I love the man but it is time for him to give up his license.

There are people that think that cars should be designed to the lowest common denominator and if it isn't foolproof it should not be implemented. I disagree. Patrick, I think you nailed it on the head. If you don't understand it, don't use it!

Because some people feel that it is their job in life is to try and tear down anyone more successful than them selves under the guise of social justice.

You seem to do nothing but want to win and will nitpick anything that anyone says that does not fit your view of the world. So you win. Keep your mind closed and continue to call people liars rather that ask for clarification when you don't agree with what they say. Have fun with that.

And to your final comment, I do not disagree that it would be bad for the stock price because people do not understand the technology and its limitations so they will assume, as you have, that the man died because Autopilot did not stop the car when in fact, Autopilot was never designed to stop the car in that…

Here is where we disagree “4. Musk withheld information of a flaw in their technology right before a sale.” You claim there is a flaw in their system. I claim their system was never designed to do what you think it should and it performed exactly as expected in this particular situation.

ACC and its associated radar is a component of the Autopilot system. The Radar is the primary component that is used by the computer to determine the need to apply the brakes. Do you have evidence of any ACC systems that do not have a blind spot in the vertical? I would fully expect that at long range that most Radars…

ACC (What Telsa calls Traffic Aware Cruise Cruise Control) and its associated radar is a component of the Autopilot system. The Radar is the primary component that is used by the computer to determine the need to apply the brakes.

All cars that use Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) have the same blind spot. Radar for ACC is has a narrow scan pattern and is limited to it’s specific task which is looking for the rear ends of cars directly in front of them. They are not designed to scan for cross traffic. People are assuming capabilities that that the…

The guy driving the car was WATCHING A MOVIE! How is that Teslas fault? People die everyday in the same type of car accidents and no other car company is required to report that type of crash. Tesla has said repeatedly that Autopilot still requires the driver pay attention and keep their hands on the wheel. Autopilot…

“The only calming part about this whole laser tech is that the last time the United States military tried to make killer lasers, they mounted them on planes and it was a complete failure, wasting time and money until it was cancelled at the start of the decade.”
