That is one thing I've always wanted the time and equipment to muck around with. Its all security through obscurity since at the end of the day it comes down to a single bit saying whether the car can start or not. Change that bit and all the rest of the security vanishes. Just like hotwiring a older car means the key as a security mechanism.
It might be difficult to get to that bit without half dismantling the car, but it would be interesting to tinker with nevertheless.
I'm in Australia and I get 10mbit/s sync with ADSL2+ (there is a NBN fibre bolted to the side of my house, but no light in it).
From that: - 4 VoIP lines - 2 people working from home, copious calls/video calls. - My 33TB NAS gets data from somewhere all runs from it just fine.
I could use 100mbit or faster better than most, but realistically I start to struggle thinking about what I'd do after 20mbps or so, and any more than that is just doing silly crap with it.
If the cars that fall back to AI then communicate their observations and decisions back to Google then to other cars then the next car wouldn't need AI and could improve knowledge of the area, plus any particularly bad problem spots can be highlighted for further investigation at Google HQ.
Normal drivers don't have LIDAR. I assume it is a massive assistance for some aspects of Google's work.
Actually I go out of my way for counterfeit FTDI chips or competing chips.
FTDI chips are bloody expensive! Just for USB to Serial as well. The CH340 chip also does USB to Serial, broad compatibility, and is $1.20 on eBay for a full breakout board with cables. The FT232RL is $6.23 for the bare chip, or a bargain $3.89 in quantities of 2,000.
I've done some tests with my home setup, 2 stories, upstairs 2.4ghz 3 antenna AC -> downstairs router 3 antenna AC -> upstairs 3 antenna 5ghz AC. I get about 10mbps via SSH easily, and I suspect it would get significantly better 5ghz -> 5ghz. No channel bonding, full compatibility with N/G.
Its certainly not gigabit, but its way faster than anything you'd need on devices in arbitrary locations. If I had gigabit then I'd have a NAS or spare computer right next to the router to suck stuff down at max speed, and AC for everything else.
Its plenty reliable. Not sure why you'd think it is unreliable.
One thing I've found with my 16gig Sony Z2 is 1080p slow motion videos funnily enough use a lot of space. Probably should have thought about that.......
If I was going for a car loan and i could shave a % off the interest rate in exchange for one of these devices I'd go for it.
I'd also be always on time with my payments of course.
I'm only against this if the person was not informed about the device. If they knew about the device before signing the contact then its really their own problem if they decide to fail to make a payment and then require the car.
I never even considered bending with my Sony Z2 which isn't exactly a small phone. After several months of being in my jeans pockets a lot it is still dead flat. No warping when placed on a flat surface.
Technically from an objective point of view, men getting paid more around certain age brackets is good business sense.
Women go on maternity leave for long periods of time, men don't. Thats fine for certain jobs (teaching, nursing, insert more stereotypes here) but if you have an employee you've invested a lot of time in to training working on a 12 month project and then she has a kid, the project is screwed. With a man in the exact same role it is a minor disruption.
I'm all for equality, but there is a reason behind some of it, its not just misogyny (although there is a bit of that too)

Its surprising more people don't do this. 205.234.28.93 is easily remembered and just rolls off the tip of your tongue.
Who won't get a majority, so the law will still pass no matter who you vote for.
Both Labor and Liberals support this. Its going to happen no matter who you vote for.
Oh so North Korea bought their stuff from Alibaba and eBay?
Not quite. The secondary uses for guns are pretty small compared to the primary one 'putting big bloody holes in things'.
Where as peroxide has an awful lot of uses, one of them just happens to be explosive.
Sorry I must have misread something. I saw no part that mentioned being more efficient or lowering energy usage.
Its just more morally acceptable to waste the same amount of power if it is 'green' power.
Maybe angling the seats so they aren't actually flat could let gravity cancel most of it out. No clue what the angle would have to be.
How does a key cut book help you get in to a random specific car?

'Seems to have'? That needs a [citation needed].
And don't send idiots in to a highly infectious area. Give them a 2 minute test to ensure they can actually follow protocol without screwing up.

Doing it is easy. Doing it with a very very high degree of confidence? Hard.
You just have to miss that one stop light for something bad to happen.

And the brain size seems inversely proportional to the number of guns. At least it seems that way viewing from a safe distance (Australia).
You hope they are professionals.
I'm pretty sure this article proves that they are not.
10 megabytes/s. One order of magnitude not two, over two different frequencies (non-ideal).

You need slightly more than just the chip to send a signal.
Antenna, filtering, power amplification, etc... is all done outside the chip.
That is why the article says 'module' not 'chip'. The module has everything it needs to actually work.

At least I can add a micro SD card to it.

My DB servers have a 0.07% failure rate. I imagine the parent is seeing a far higher percentage than that.

Most of these people have nothing to do with Obama. They'd still be there if the republicans won.
Incompetence is incompetence, its not limited to a single political side.
