Driving 1.2 miles might take 5 minutes, maximum. How much power can they possibly transfer to the vehicle battery in that time?
Meanwhile, there are all kinds of places where cars are parked that would make much better charging sites. Spending millions of dollars a mile - okay, okay, Euros per kilometer - for a charging road is the ultimate in dead end projects.
'dollar theaters' used to be a thing, used to be very popular. then early-release dvds and ondemand, piracy and streaming killed the entire segment of that industry.
There are movies that you might want to see in a sumptuous big-screen movie palace with high-end audio, but today's living room is a better place to view anything than those dollar theaters were.
Boston is home to many large fish processing and preparation businesses. If you're in the midwest and you're eating lobster or cod then it probably passed through Boston.
Ah, Boston. Home of Legal Seafood and illegal prices.
The fact is, these people are individually human scum. They don't keep their word. They don't respect others. They connive, cheat, and otherwise mess up lives.
Yet we allow cable companies to keep their websites running.
Can someone explain exactly what this means to a non-hipster like myself?
Gladly! What happened is that Uber execs in California see bicycles whizzing around them all day blowing signals and stop signs, and the thought formed, "Hey! These guys are already thinking the Uber way!"
It's not necessary to deny greenhouse warming to point out that any cause of a one-degree temperature change, and there have been numerous causes in pre-industrial times, would have the same "devastating effect" if a change in the balance of one lake is in fact a devastating effect.
Cars need not be self-aware, so we don't have to wait for general AI. In fact, self-aware BMWs might be the apocalyptic weapons this this account was talking about.
Another bonus is that it would also eliminate religion.
Not so fast. One way to prevent a self-aware AI from treating us like the film's example of an anthill in the path of a highway would be to build worship of and respect for "the creators" into its consciousness.
This leads to an even stranger thought: what if the human species already represents an implementation of this idea?
Sounds like Cruise is finding out the imbalance of power that human motorists have to deal with apply to their cars, too. Doesn't really matter what happened, if the cop says you were doing something you're gonna get ticketed. And the courts will take his word above yours.
Occasionally some engineering nerd will contest a ticket on the basis of data he collected himself, mainly by going out to the place where the ticket was issued and taking measurements, photos of lines of sight, etc. that he deems to be exculpatory.
But now every ticket written against self-driving cars will be contested by defense data and video collected at the time, by high;y [aid engineers working on that specific task. Small-town traffic traps are going to need better judges.
If I were SpaceX, I would just transmit the video feed anyway, let NOAA try to enforce its silly regulation, then take a nationwide applause bow as the agency gets stomped by the Gorsuch Court.
I’m not a comics fan, but I lived in Japan during the heyday of manga. Those things were the size of telephone books, and every ordinary business commuter on the subway was reading one.
Inner-city neighborhoods crammed with illegal e-aliens running cheap PCs, chattering away in Visual Basic ("Build the firewall!"). Coal-fueled mob servers churning out Bitcoin. Dismal landfills overflowing with the world's discarded ones and zeros. Homeless burned-out developers wearing bubble wrap against the winter chill, huddled around flaming barrels of obsolete O'Reilly Manual editions.
This woman was not the first vegan terrorist, but judging from some of the comment threads here she lives in the hearts of those people who stone Bay Area corporate commuter buses. This is an important voter demographic in California.
Sure, that's why all the new point-of-sales terminals have the Look Like A Total Douche symbol on top so I know where to rest my iPhone. Much faster than using chip cards.
Meanwhile, what actually burns up time at the checkout is waiting for Greatest Generation Great Grandma to haul out her checkbook, laboriously write out her fiscal epistle, and get it approved by a manager.
Hilarious. You mean stuff like 'intelligent design'? Shit for brains.
Can you name a single instance of fundie Christian intelligent design believers blocking a vital infrastructure project or ripping up a field of crops that conflicted with their religious beliefs?

I choose (2). When this happens the digital film festivals will be the leaders, and Cannes a nostalgia fest for virtue signalers like the Oscars.

No, I just think he's including Hoover Dam as a source.

I just watched it (Arizona). The deadline must be Sunday midnight.

Specifically: How does a cop pull over a self-driving car? I mean, exactly how does that happen logistically?
They use Robocop.
Isn’t taking unauthized imagery if military facilities already a separate offense? And NOAA would not be the agency tasked with enforcing it.

Now that US colleges are rolling in an unprecedented flood of money, why aren't they using more of it to make joining the faculty a better deal?
And furthermore, I always thought that people STARTED growing neurons after adolescence.

What Charlie Hebdo did was punching down...
"Punching down" is the new term that liberals have invented to mean satire against something they hold sacred.

Maybe when California finally invents a border force field preventing guns entering from the rest of the fucking country this will finally be solved.
Such a force field might interfere with the flow of sacred illegal aliens* into California. Can't have that.
* Don't call them "immigrants." An immigrant is someone who passes through a country's designated immigration system.
Golden Rice is an open source project that is not controlled by Monsanto or any other corporation.
