Bernie is not a democrat, so why would it surprise anyone that a independent trying to snag a democratic nomination might not be welcome by the democratic elite? OK, downvote away.
collision avoidance system. I saw ads on tv for this 2 maybe 3 years ago from Volvo I think, and then benz had one, mazda, gm, ford,... Heck who doesn't have one? And then over a decade ago HUD system's incorporated IR imaging to detect people/animals and put it up in the HUD. This of course is before anyone connected brakes to the system.
There is no reason to open government funded R&D missions period. To fund a foreign company is just giving research dollars to other countries. The space program absolutely enhanced our technological capabilities in the 60's. An example of utter stupidity was the state of california giving the contract for the bay bridge to china. In the end, it was over budget, held hostage to pay for the overage and in the end all that expensive tooling to build it stayed in china. Giving that contract to a US company would have meant advanced tooling would be retained in the US, not to mention all the US taxes that would have been paid by US workers and companies, who paid the taxes to build the bridge. It is very short sighted to outsource government dollars.
Uber like airbnb provides an easy mechanism for all manner of discrimination, from race to LGBT to disabled. Personally I think one of the reasons so many people (white) like uber is they get white drivers instead of immigrants.
The republicans in Indiana will be celebrating. Pence was going to lose the governorship there if he ran again. So now they can get a new face and possibly retain the governor's mansion.
I believe there was this exact situation where a previous owner had a path thru their private property to the beach in northern california. They sold the land and the new owner put in a gate blocking access. New owner had to remove the gate under court order under some legal argument. The law has so many but's at this point it really boils down to shopping for a judge. The Oracle's and Google's have infinite resources to keep shopping.
The difference is if a little soda spills on the floor, someone just cleans it up. If auto-pilot fails, someone can (and did) die. And as to the argument it is safer, we just don't know. For an accurate compare, we'd need data to reach closer to 5 billion miles. And I'm hoping NHTSA pulls the cert and says you have to disable it. Not only did the man die, but how many others could have died in a different situation? Until LIDAR comes down in price to the point it can be used, please NHTSA, just say no.
Cadillac is shipping this on their CT6 and I think a couple of other models. They managed to avoid regulatory delay by making the "rear view mirror" be both a mirror and a display. So you can make it just a plain rear view mirror, or throw a switch and the mirror becomes a high definition display. The only negative I have heard so far is with a mirror your eye focuses far, whereas with the camera image, it is focused close. I am wondering if the display could somehow have a far focus as well. I know the HUD systems for windshields use a far focus so the eye does not have to adjust focus when looking at the HUD display.
And with ever increasing safety and CAFE requirements, it is just going to get worse. LKA and auto braking on collision are just 2 examples that are going to add some bucks for safety, and start/stop has been the latest add on for mileage improvement. Unfortunately, as reliable as car manufacturers have become, ever increasing "stuff" is going to end up increasing maint costs as well for the newer stuff.
or it could be drinking and driving is much more prevalent in the US. Many countries in the EU have zero alcohol policies. I think it was someone from Denmark I talked to where people worry about having any trace of alcohol when driving the next day. I think the stat is something like 70% of all US fatalities are alcohol or substance abuse related.
Given the car had issues almost immediately, lemon law basically says full refund. A minuscule amount would be deducted for miles driven before the FIRST problem was reported. The guy had no ax to grind, he owned a roadster and an S. Tesla was just stupid not to deal with this when he first asked. But then they have had a couple of braindead PR moments.
I run my own server for my tiny company. I've spent maybe 40 hrs total configuring spam. I have options to whitelist, blacklist, auto greylist, and various other options. It is inexcusable they can't do simple whitelisting by IP.
The article assumed the car would "wear out" after 250K miles and would need replacing. Although it was based on a pretty crap car of 17K if I remember right. It was part of the expenses that were deducted in arriving at the hourly salary. The main take away was the net from driving for uber was highly dependent on location. Detroit was like 8.79/hr. Sounds like colorado is the place to be for driving for uber.
Umm, probably because if there is only one game in town, you either play that game or hope that there are enough people willing to shell out of their own pocket for service. Good luck with that. I too have no primary physician like grandparent. Mine dropped out. And there are not that many that take my plan in the area.
This!!! And if the buyer does want to sell the ticket, make the buyer sell it back to the venue. I was talking to a friend about this recently with regard to college football tickets. I think this is where it all started because the colleges were complicit with stubhub. The face value of tickets is a joke, as the purchaser pays much more. My friend makes a required donation to the school every year to gain the right to buy a season ticket. The price of the season ticket is peanuts in comparison to the donation. Then what everyone does is stubhub the tickets they do not use to try to recoup some of the "donation" and season ticket price. Of course the stubhub price is closer to the real price (donation+season price / number of games) So now that everyone is used to paying 10X or more face value it has migrated to all tickets.
So I take it under a democratic prez, the executive branch should be able to shut down fox news? News has changed because no one wants to dive into the boring details of actually running a government. It is part of why drump does so well. He is entertaining, the news loves him for the eyeballs he pulls in. After all how many people stop to watch a train wreck?
Actually, I DO run a biz. And it is good biz to just do the right thing and fix things in the open. Musk of all people should realize the streisand effect of this NDA thing could be a PR nightmare that could actually end his company. Tesla is based on goodwill, they do not make money. If perception changes, Tesla is toast almost overnight.
So you were wrong, there have been lemon cases, at least 2, the one the AC posted about the S, and I saw another about one on an X somewhere else, and the X guy had previously owned a Roadster and an S, so this guy was a Tesla believer. He basically said in the article I read that he just was done. Everything was breaking repeatedly, and he just wanted his money back. it was in mediation if I remember correctly.
Odd, I have a CTS-V, that got an extended 120K mile/10 year warranty extension on the supercharger in case the bearings fail. I had a vette with 2 recalls, one for a headlight fuse thing or some such minor thing, again out of warranty. No one made me sign an NDA to get it fixed. You can call them recalls, but how is the tesla thing any different? And wanting people to sign an NDA, really? NHTSA should fry them for this. It is completely illegal AND immoral to not report problems to NHTSA. Do musk want people to die?
I can see a serious problem when something goes wrong and a little factory explosion occurs. Next up, the bits and pieces from the accident litter up the area and starts a chain reaction of destruction of anything in orbit. Already there are problems with avoiding old junk.
Wow somewhat ironic your hateful response to the poster. If you are indicative of parents today, perhaps YOU should look in the mirror as to why schools are performing at such a pathetic level these days.

Or an island like Ellison buying Lanai.

Face it, LIDAR is too pricey at the moment and all the car makers are trying to get a crap system out ahead of each other. Someone died because of it.

But, I thought local storage was dead and everything was going to the cloud. Ah, whats old is new again.

Citi and AT&T should both be fined 100mil for abusing the trademark system. What moron at the PTO approved the citi trademark?
