, there are huge incentives to promote the theory, and more importantly, to shut down any and all opposing viewpoints (as they tend to impede the flow of money).
Yeah, those college professors will step on their mother's neck to keep that 48 thousand bucks a year coming.
In related news, Exxon Mobile made 34 billion dollars of profits last year. Koch Industries had $115B in revenue and unknown profits.
It's hilarious and sad that you think these are somehow equivalent forces.
Right wing climate deniers are obsessed with Al Gore because in the late 80s and early 90s when he was talking about "global warming", the right wing called him a "moonbat" chicken little who was ridiculously claiming that the sky was falling. If Al Gore is shown to be right (which of course he has been) then that means they were wrong the whole time. Rather than admitting they were wrong, the ring wingers want to continue fighting forever.
Absolutely. Like how the UCLA Atmospheric Science department made 34 billion dollars last year. No...wait..that was Exxon Mobile.
Your comment is like saying "Both my corner bar and AB InBev make money selling beer". It's technically true but it's a ridiculous comparison because they're orders of magnitude apart.
That's already in the works. The idea is for "EVtones" to have a marketplace like phone "ringtones". I would pay a decent amount of money if my car could sound like a flying car from the Jetsons. Lawmakers around the world have required EVs to make some kind of external noise at low speeds to alert pedestrians, particularly blind people.
A large number of households already have a second car driven by a second person, that you can trade with if needed. If I was single, I'm not sure if I would own an electric car.
It's not just a great electric car, it's a great car. But I'm a function over form kind of guy. The bug eye headlights push air out of the way so that at highway speeds the side view mirrors sit in a bubble of low pressure, greatly decreasing air resistance and improving range. The squared off shape allow the interior to seat 4 adults comfortably while leaving a good amount of cargo space.
You seriously don't know how obnoxious engine noise and gear changes are until you drive without them. It's like floating on a cloud.
I love my Leaf. Many people's biggest complaint about the car is it's odd exterior looks. Those people will not be impressed by this goofy looking BMW.
For the last year, I have driven a Nissan Leaf with an 80-90 mile range. On only two occasions I was not able to make a trip I wanted to make because of my car's range. Manufacturers are clustering around that range number because it's good enough for most people a vast majority of the time.
It's as toxic as the used-to-be-widely-used asbestos.
We normally think of toxicity as being based on chemical reactions. In graphene and asbestos, it's the nano-scale mechanical damage that causes problems.

What do you think the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration does?
I would like to submit into evidence as Exhibit A- this dumbass.

Pollution? Corporations.
Global climate grant change? Scientists.

Apparently neither you nor the guy who wrote that wikipedia page know that lidar is completely different from radar. The "ra" stands for radio.
I'm not sure why you think your computing background means you know dick about autonomous cars.
They don't use radar at all and lane lines are only one of multiple visual cues used.
Please keep us updated on all conversations you have with your mother. Thanks.
You need to augment the roads for this tech to really work.

That's a positive return on investment, which is massively different than free.

After you spend $20,000 on a Rolex, it's then free. That doesn't make it free.

Do you have any idea how much money it costs to get FREE energy from the sun?

Normal, usable, currencies don't halve in value over any 4 month time period.
The 4th, 5th, and 6th ones all blur together in my head under the category of "terrible".
The USPS isn't a government department.
Yeah, but those stories don't get mentioned on slashdot.
Yeah. The fact that we're discussing this means that we're watching them.
The FAA and the Texas Legislature are restricting the capabilities and the uses of drones.
They were using the drone to film police activities on the ground. What does that have to do with probable cause?
That's perfect. Well played, sir.
