So I'm starting to notice how I am responding to "Giga". Seems like it is everywhere these days. In some ways, it reminds me of the "Mc" from McDonald's and the "i" from Apple's products iPhone, iMac, etc. I know that McDonald's is pretty sue-happy around protecting the "Mc" designation on...

So.... I was watching a YouTube video about a car from the 80's and they were describing how to turn on AWD. The video had the following quote. With EV's it seems this whole system would be built with far fewer parts. But what caught my attention was the vacuum switch. I know car engines and...

So what I got out of that: 1. Cybertruck is probably coming out 1 year from now or maybe a bit later. 2. Cybertruck will be getting the first upgraded AI hardware for FSD. 3. Upgraded AI hardware will be about 4 times more capable than the current AI hardware.

Car and Driver did a side-by-side comparison of the various autonomous features in a bunch of manufacturers. Turns out that Tesla is not the worst-case scenario.
