This happened to me just today, and I grabbed the yoke and took control, thinking, "WTF is this thing doing, this makes no sense." Then an ambulance whizzed by - lights on, siren off.

Please state your name and age to the Court. "Hello. I am Tesla Cybertruck 11,087, created November 11, 2024. " Have you been disadvantaged by the lack of an extended battery, uh, 11087? "Well, perhaps. Those were going to have an auxiliary processor, and 24 gigs of memory I could have added...

A person bought A because he was excited about B+A, at a time when B was promised. The manufacturer then dropped product B. The buyer didn't have a purchase order for "A and B". The other day I went to a barbecue joint and order brisket and beans, and they told me they were out of beans. Hmm...

The world views here are intriguing. Perceive the market appetite and build for the widest part of that, and propose an option then delete it if it doesn't fit within that view, versus submit to the whim of a customer who perceives himself as the victim, without regard for the broader...

I'm not even seeing the supposed "class". Cancellation was said to be due to "a lack of demand" which directly means that the pack wasn't wanted by very many people. People that put a deposit of $100 down on a three motor truck? Of those, people who later put down the $1000 deposit on a...

I like this idea because the lawyers pushing it and seeking to profit from it would lose their time and money. Plus get laughed out of court. Hopefully they wouldn't get dismissed on summary judgement but go on for years losing.

One single BAW is going to absolutely require special techniques, and it is not surprising at all that people would have differing opinions and experiences with its use in icy and snowy conditions.

Maybe the software guys could how their estimated range/% in blue/yellow/etc indicating cold/hot temps had been taken into account for the range indicated. Bad thing to be misleading! I've found that if I subtract 15% from the range numbers, I'm fairly accurate. Just figured that was my driving...

Let's say two years to a basic Optimus "launch", but five years to a fairly robust set of house hold canned procedures and some simply learning abilities (eg "watch how I cut these onions, I'll have you cutting them from now on"). Right now today I'm sure the hardware is very nice, but we can't...

WOW~~~~ I have to mention, I was assuming the FSD was doing the crab walking...

Wait... You mean the fun times I recall in those bench seats don't just come back?

.... a "few days later?" Let's say I have a business meeting in Cincinnati, 1200 miles 17 hours of driving. By Southwest it's 500am to 1430 - realistically add 30 min to 60 minutest at each end, 8 1/2 hours + 1 1/2 or 10 hours in airports. I set the truck off with my bags and equipment at 9pm...

The funny thing is they really do not know that we are being driven around by these cars because the windows are almost always rolled up. An entire class of self driving vehicles is growing right in the middle of them and they are clueless. The business serious people, some of them go to...

Of course CRABWALK should be a high priority, because... BECAUSE IT'D BE COOL... Seeing that bunch of triangles auto back into a parking spot doing sideways shifting crab style, yeah we need that. Because those other people, the ones standing around, it's only right they see things they don't...

WOW! I am seeing this truck is promoted as having Advanced Driver Assist Modes! Active Lane Management! "Should the truck veer into a lane where another vehicle or obstacle is detected in the blind spot, the available Active Lane Management System can provide steering correction to help the...

do you think any of those half way EV measures would survive a doubling or tripling of battery range capacity? (Diesel IMO is a very separate category and has merits and uses that go well beyond electric or gasoline)

What Ford is offering is XL, StX, XLT, FX4, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, Tremor, Raptor, EcoBoost, and Power Stroke. Unchanged in ten years or more. ALL it takes for EVs to dominate is a doubling of battery pack endurance. It's really that simple. And that's just a matter of time at...

It all comes down to this : should Truck look like rectangles or triangles?

THIS IS WORTHY

Well its been a wild ride in a crazy rodeo and brief snapshots at one moment or another don't convey this universe well. One thing I'm fairly certain of as I get driven down the road by 14.2.1 - other drivers do not realize the car next to them is driving itself. It's not obvious, because...
