They could probably use a boat-by-wire system make the big model boat accelerate/decelerate/turn like the real one would, even if the model is capable of much greater performance.  Same as how Airbus tries to make all their planes fly the same from teeny A318 to A380.

Moron: “Gee, they should just can the car business and sell credits.”

Uhhhh... the one on the weekend was straight facts and no opinion. That was posted yesterday. You may want to have your memory tested.

So rich (Teslas ain’t cheap), people driving recent-model cars on the highway (where AP is intended to be used) have fewer crashes than rich people driving recent-model cars on a mix of freeway and not-freeway? I’m shocked.

Criminal 1: I have a great idea. Let’s rob an AV!
Criminal 2: Aren’t those absolutely covered in high-res cameras and always-on data connections? Also, why would their doors even be designed to open anywhere except the warehouse? Like, we could coerce a human driver, but the robot ain’t openin’ no doors, onesie.
Criminal…

Do you think perhaps the reason you hear about the UAW’s misdeeds is because there’s a lot of incentive for GM/Ford/FCA to play up whenever the UAW overreaches or fucks up?

Valuable in terms of marginal performance gained? Sure, probably.

Particularly in Tesla’s case though, if you keep the stock price up it can help the company when they do a stock issue. Elon has not been shy about issuing new shares when he thinks the price is high. Tesla has a huge cash pile because they took advantage of the high stock price with several stock issues last year.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) were deleted.

And the UK worked hard to end the slave trade (oddly, with US help) by force:

Actually the cameras that did this descent video were COTS FLIR industrial cameras, and the 30gb video was put onto non-hardened storage. So they used your basic off the shelf image sensor and put it on your basic, off the shelf storage device (probably an SSD).

$98.8M seems like a shockingly low price for an entire mission. As cheap as SpaceX is compared to other launch companies, it still costs $50-$60M minimum to launch a Falcon 9, plus mission integration costs or government-paperwork costs.

How do you get an end-of-life ICE to a recycling center?  It gets towed to the auto recycler.  I don’t see why it’d be any different with an EV.

The first time I got a $1k bike, I immediately realized “oh that’s why all my other bikes have been uncomfortable, unreliable, and just sat in the garage”.

This is good, but regulators are going to have to be very careful to avoid some negative indirect consequences.

$10/mth for F1TV beats the pants off apparently* $95/mth for the cable package that includes the F1-carrying channel in Canada. I wish it had Chromecast too, but there isn’t a realistic alternative.

The Prius hatch is cavernous. You’re not getting anywhere near as much stuff in the Camry or Corolla hybrids.

Confirmed - I have a steel roof, and a key part of the purchase process is figuring out where you put your snow cleats because steel roofs are prone to sudden and massive snow slides.

Grid storage from a vehicle with an absolutely gargantuan battery that is almost guaranteed to be idle and plugged in during the noon and afternoon peak demand hours? Holy crap that’s a good idea.

There’s already boxes full of expensive goods that are left unattended on regular schedules: they’re called stores.  They’re even stationary, so you don’t even need to try and trap them.
