I'll rethink how I do things if I'm getting a deal, so sell me an EV for $10K and I'll rethink how I do things. I have a busy family and we sometimes have a hard time keeping up with things as it is, so if I'm not getting a deal then EVs aren't worth my time thanks. I don't need to pay more money for things that make my life more complicated. Furthermore, I don't see anyone saying that EVs are hopeless, just that the batteries should be designed to work more like gasoline cars.
My concerns are the same. The problem is that autonomous car makers are totally basing the reliability on the autonomy on the fact that the cars talk to each other. Is there any autonomous system being built where the car can operate independently?
I don't get the honest comment.. There is a mashup on the internet of Trump saying completely opposite things, including a lot of clips of him claiming democrats are better than republicans and praising Hillary Clinton as a politician.
Perhaps this is why microfunding through the internet is a 'new thing'. If you are giving money how to you know the money will be used for the correct purpose? It seems to me if you participate in micofunding then you are doing so at your own risk.
I can guarantee you that building one of these real world flight reservation systems is about a thousand more times difficult than you think it is. I have first hand knowledge of a major one and smart people tried to replace it and failed. It's managing load balance on planes, it's every detail of the processing of the flight for 24 hours leading up to the flight. It's reservations coming in and being aggregated from other vendors around the world. Every facet of the business and legal requirement is in there, much of which I could not think of.
Not that they should be ashamed, but it amazes me how Apple can turn its back on a large segment of device users. Why wouldn't I still have my sound system from 2006 if it still sounds good? I guess this is the part that Apple users don't necessarily understand; that some people don't switch as soon as the next shiny new thing if out and that is why Apple caters to the people who have that kind of money to spend on things.
I've never found one of those devices that didn't affect the sound in some way. The audio quality sourced from my phone through a cable seems to always sound better then the sound from bluetooth. I invested money in my phone with audio quality as part of that so I like to hear it.
For me the choice is to either get a phone with a headphone jack or replace the whole entertainment system in two vehicles. I'll be looking for a phone with a headphone jack.
I'm not even sure how you would know how safe it is. Since Autopilot only works in situations that were already the safest, then it should not be getting in any accidents at all. You cannot compare it to a person who must deal with every situation that comes up from origin to destination.
There are a billion ways to categorize things other than a straight product search. The site could break things down any number of ways to help you get to the kids of things you like.
Fine, but the blood of the deaths that Tesla causes today is still on their hands. In any case where an accident happens that would not have happened if the driver would have been attentive in the first place. I can't imagine what Elon Musk would have said to these families. To make an omlette you gotta break a few eggs? I have news for you, there are many automakers working on automation right now and Tesla seems to be the only one with blood on their hands. All the other companies chose to test before releasing to the public.
Totally agree with you. We can either develop this tech by:
A) Releasing it to the public now and hope people won't die, or
B) release it once tested and know people won't die.
To me the choice seems obvious.
So we're trying to prevent deaths caused by stupid and careless drivers by introducing technology that will cause even MORE damage when people are stupid and careless?
How is any person who has never flown supposed to know how an autopilot works, really? I mean, is it really that difficult to comprehend that some people who are not pilots might be under the wrong impression about what it is like to fly a freaking airplane? That's what makes it a bad term from the start, it doesn't even matter if the name is accurate or not.
You're talking about some theoretical benefit that may occur *IF* automation is perfected and *IF* one day everyone are able to afford one. If we really care that much about the thousands of deaths on the roads then let's simply cut all the existing speed limits in half. It's a lot more practical than hoping every bad driver will one day be in a self driving car that works better than they do. If it doesn't sound practical to you at all, then you don't really care about those deaths as much as you say you do.
Tesla has opened Pandora's box. They will have to defend every one of these 'gray' situations, and this is only the beginning. Personally I feel if they release a heavy machine into the world, and some people have problems controlling it properly, then they owe some responsibility to ensure the public that those people have been trained and have been tested and certified for use of Autopilot. A page in the manual isn't enough. Give them pilot training for Autopilot.
Magsafe connector? Is that the damn thing that falls out every time you pick up you laptop and there is a feather on top of the cord? I'm not kind to Thinkpad cords and I have never had a problem with them breaking even after dragging them across the room dangling out of the laptop. Snowflake devices for special snowflakes I guess.
I try to *avoid* using the function key shortcuts because the function keys are already bloody hard to get to. But sometimes there is something i need not so often where the inconvenience of the F keys aren't so bad. I definitely don't want to have to be traversing up to the screen for them. It's already bad how dependent OS/X is on the touchpad; now I must go from keyboard to screen to touchpad? Touchpad swipes may work when you're lounging around surfing the web but they are horribly time consuming when you must use them to navigate in development.
Ok then I have a solution that will please both parties. For the people who like ads, put them on a page where they can be sifted through in constructive ways, away from the main content. Then both are satisfied. Then I would accept that advertisements are a "service". Seems like a perfectly obvious solution to me. If people like ads that much then they will go to the ad page.

But the point is that there is a connection that can be hacked.
Well I know Autopilot needs to be connected, it is always sending driving data back to Tesla. I don't know about the others.

So your suggesting the laws should force everyone into a $40K vehicle. Let them eat cake.
So we're trying to prevent deaths caused by stupid and careless drivers by introducing technology that will cause even MORE damage when people are stupid and careless?

Many shortcuts in xcode are attached to the function keys. So there's that.

Don't you have to use the function keys to switch the screen when applications are running full screen?

So we should be talking about world hunger in a thread about Facebook?
