Back in the 1970s homophobes murdered gay people by arson. If you stopped all mass shootings, you would still have mass killing by arson.
There would still be attacks by driving SUVs into people....
The problem is violent and hateful people.
I have owned cars made with large amounts of aluminum.
Aluminum cars are very expensive to repair after accidents. I wonder how this metal will compare with Aluminum. If I could have a lightweight, inexpensive to repair car it would be great: less expensive to drive and to insure.
This technology won't displace carbon fiber in Lamborghinis, but how about Aluminum in Audis, Fords and Teslas?
How about Boeing and AirBus? Could this replace a lot of aluminum?
"Bad weather" as in rain is not a problem. The problem is snow and ice. Tesla's technology comes from Mobileye inc. http://www.mobileye.com/
Tesla's technology and Google's technology do not work in snow and ice. It will work at night and in many rainy conditions although glare can cause problems at night in the rain. The sensor's depend on seeing painted lane markers, which may be difficult when there is glare from light in the dark in the rain.
You had to buy the car initially with the optional "tech package" for $2,500. I did and now I have autosteer and autopark in addition to adaptive cruise control.
Dark and rain are not problems for Google cars or cars using Mobileye company technology (Tesla)
The big problem is snow and ice. Humans are amazingly advanced at driving on snow covered roads.
I foresee trouble in the parts of the world with snowfall if a generation of drivers emerges that is very dependent on self-driving technology.
You need lessons and experience to become good at snow driving and I feel self driving cars are many years away from being safe in snow and ice.
Suppose Tesla was concerned about man made climate change. The company might want to decrease animal protein consumption because methane from farm animals is far more important than automobile emissions: http://timeforchange.org/are-c...
If the government can force us to drive different cars, they can force us to eat different foods.
Come on Tesla: lobby to force all bacon and hamburger be made with 55% tofu. See how popular you are.
Disclosure: I drive a P85D and I love it. It is an amazing car and works great for my family.
I don't care about thinness. I want to use my phone hard and have it last a full day. I have an aftermarket battery in my S4 and love it.
The new battery will charge quickly only with a special charger. If you connect it to a regular USB outlet you won't get very far very fast.
The built in battery doesn't have to die. If it loses 30% of capacity before a typical 2 year US contract is up you will want to replace it.
A 100 year old steam car can be kept running. A 70 year old Ford can be a daily driver. What will happen to an electric Tesla when the first capacitor on the control panel CPU craps out in 10 years? Will spare motherboards be available? Will you be able to drive the car when the computer controlling the battery cooler dies? Or will it become a brick?
That central panel isn't the radio, it is indispensable to the operation of the vehicle!
BTW I've driven a Tesla S Supersport and it is a lot of fun to drive and a worked very well.
If governments can tell you what car to drive and how much CO2 it can emit, why not tell people what they can eat, how much animal protein, and put a methane tax on cows and pigs? All this concern over cars and driving and global warming but eating meat seems to be worse than driving a Hummer.

Everyone thinks of lung cancer and COPD/Emphysema. I work as an anesthesiologist and I can tell you one of the biggest problems smokers get is disease of the arteries.
They get heart attacks because of blocked coronary arteries. They get strokes because of blocked carotid arteries. They get peripheral vascular disease (PVD) which means legs that become painful when walking due to lack of oxygenated blood. Combine smoking with diabetes and you are guaranteed to have vascular problems in life!
So don't imagine coughing up blood and dying of lung cancer, don't imagine COPD and needing oxygen to slowly walk 100 feet. Think of blocked arteries to the brain and strokes, think of blocked arteries to the feet and gangrenous toes, think of blocked coronary arteries and getting your chest sawed open to bypass them. Think of blocked arteries to the penis and (Sorry I can't even bear to think of this!)
Smoking is bad mm'kay
I like his quote, "When people die, those that leaked information should be held accountable... I think there’s irreversible and significant damage to this nation. "
But what is more important than people? When does the military send people in to harm's way and maybe even to their death's? They do it to protect the Nation and The Constitution. When The President is sworn in he takes an oath to " preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" Not individuals.
So I think that an excellent case could be made that when the NSA kills The Constitution, those that ran the program should be held responsible.
I think the NSA has caused significant damage to this country because what makes this country special is the constitutional limits on the engorgement,
No Trimix (Helium) is to mitigate Nitrogen Narcosis. If you were worried about Oxygen toxicity from breathing air below 60M you could just add dirt cheap Nitrogen.
With 80% Nitrogen in the mix, you have significant narcosis after 40M. So add Helium after 40M and cut down Oxygen below 21% after 60M.
Interestingly Xenon is an anesthetic. 80% Xenon in Oxygen would cause complete unconsciousness at 10M! Hydrogen works as a non narcotic gas to replace Nitrogen but I'd hate to cause a spark near a tank of Hydrogen/Oxygen! I wonder if it has been studied and if it would be explosive in a mix with 3% Oxygen and say 40% Hydrogen. It sure would save a lot of money at 100M.
I plan to do some deep Scuba dives next month and I will be breathing high quality, pure Helium mixed in with my Oxygen and Nitrogen to prevent Nitrogen narcosis at depth. I'm glad the supply will continue in the future and I hope there is a plan to replace what the US Government has stockpiled.
You want to do this for a long time? Avoid high cost of living areas!
A pint of beer that costs $1.50 in Cape Town South Africa would cost $10 in Copenhagen.
Look at inexpensive cities that intersect with places you would want to visit.

Li Ion batteries are good for a year of daily charging. By the second year of phone ownership you will see less battery life and popping in a new battery will get you through till you get your next phone.
I agree completely. I have an elderly family member that can screw up a fresh OS install in a week. He will install 3 or 4 antivirus programs, 3 or 4 "registry cleaners", 5 or 6 toolbars, 2 or 3 download optimizers and every free trial nagware that promises to optimize his computer. He WILL NOT LEARN. I got tired of trying to fix his computer which merely consisted of uninstalling crap so I did the best thing I could think of: I cloned his HDD over to an SSD and now his PC will boot in 2 minutes instead of 10.
I tell him over and over but he sees a pitch about something that promises to make his PC better or get him free coupons and he installs it.
It is some kind of mental disease and I know of no Jedi mind tricks to change him...
I'm disgusted at Apple for trying to patent this, but I am even more troubled by the US Patent Office for approving and granting them the patent.
It is the Patent Office that needs to be reigned in here, along with Apple and all the other tech companies trying to patent rectangles and lights placed in PCs.
This is like navigation systems that don't let you use them when the car is moving even though a passenger could be entering the info.
I recently sent a message for my son who was driving. Perfectly safe even though the GPS would have detected motion.
Maybe the app needs to read the status of the passenger airbag: if it is off due to no passenger, then block texting.
Why did you say "we ought to be able to see more clearly how government spending bettered everyday life"
Why don't you say "we ought to be able to see more clearly how world war bettered everyday life" "Clearly in the 1990s and early 2000s there were too few wars rather than too many to stimulate the US economy"

Still I would rather have a 1940 size US government with a 1940 size budget and 1940 amount of federal regulations.

Absolutely correct. I've seen a Tesla stop when you walk in front of it in summon mode.
