So what if it did? Sensors can and do fail. That’s a fact of life. It’s a fundamental requirement of any automated system to detect and mitigate sensor failure. The worst you could fault Velodyne with is making an unreliable product.

Based on Uber’s footage where you cannot see anything until about a second and a half prior to impact, assuming a human paying attention at the wheel, half second reaction time, and panic braking, you’re still about 10' through the pedestrian. You’re also only going about 15mph, rather than 38mph, so the impact would…

Do you remember a time when you forgot to set the proper pressure in your tires?

How to park: Push button, ram shifter forward through all detents. There, you’re in park. A final step, which should be done in ANY VEHICLE: Make sure indicator (on shifter or on dash) shows the vehicle is in Park. How to park on a hill: Follow the above steps, but also engage the parking brake. Again - no different…

It’s displayed on the dashboard as well. You don’t have to look at the stick if you don’t want to.

So it was in the wrong gear. Did the parking brake fail too?

Just one that you’re willing to claim you used the feature under oath.

also DoD can turn off the civilian channel whenever they feel like it

So that similarly applies to most vehicles that are smaller than a 3ton box?

Well, no. No one ever said the climate was static. The whole article is specifically describing the fact that the climate is not static, and the consequences of solar perturbation of the thermosphere and exosphere on satellite operations.

Ugh. I went to the deli counter at a Wawa once, because there was nothing else open at 4AM when I got off work. I didn’t leave the hotel bathroom for another two days.

Except... DOHC actually says something meaningful about the operation of the car. PZEV just means it has an extended warranty on the emissions components.

Is she pooping in the sink?

So air goes through the traditional turbocharger, through the intercooler, and then optionally through the electric supercharger... Isn’t the supercharger just going to get starved by lack of feed from the turbocharger? The pressure difference across that compressor is going to come from pulling vacuum within the…

If the stock price goes up to $1T, then all those stockholder’s shares are now worth about 16x their current value. So what you’re saying is that the shareholders needs to decide “If I make a fortune, am I OK with Musk getting a small portion of that fortune?”.

I like when the sales managers don’t even know what price they’re offering. I was looking at two cars recently. One was $1500 cheaper, with some more options, but it was an hour and a half away, and I preferred the other’s color.

DoD has responsibility over noise levels at military airfields, but does that still apply when aircraft are operated out of joint, primarily civilian, airfields?

Helicopter attempts to block car. Helicopter suffers fatal damage and emergency lands. Car suffers cosmetic damage and drives off. Sounds pretty realistic to me.

Actually, he did move next to an existing Air National Guard base, which has housed a fighter squadron since shortly after WWII. He’s not complaining the addition of F35s. He complaining that they’re replacing their existing aging F16s with new F35s.

It’s an “international airport” because it’s so close to Canada. If you can get in the air, you can fly internationally. Brownsville TX has an international airport with only two gates. There’s only ~30 commercial flights a day, including freight, and the bulk of their traffic is general aviation.
