Re "Cops are completely unconcerned."
Thats direct form the political leaders of big cities.
Virtue signalling and political correctness allows city laws to stay unenforced. A few changes to city enforcement would make more bike use work for many more people.
A car is then needed just to stay safe and away from crime, junk, trash and get to work.
People want to bike but city politics make that extra difficult.
Spending on light rail, bus, electric car parking, new bike paths to nowhere, then allowing the city crime rate to rise.
Moving around trash, junk, criminals, blocked paths makes expensive bike use too difficult.
Decades of the AI winter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... should have worked on that?
Another few decades of work on the AI and it should be good, like the AI exports said in the 1970's...
Quantum issues now make past years of easy electric design expensive and its finally time to pay for total retooling.
Who will win?
South Korea has the design experts to move into smaller parts that will work as needed.
China will have to wait to see what the USA, South Korea and Japan design.
The problem is who will retool their factory first, take all the risks, take on new debt only to see their tech advantage totally "lost" to Communist China.
A working AI will not result due to the decades that people have failed at that busy work.
Better chips that follow Moors Law again will be produced, just by who and when and for what cost.
Its a bit like the change in printers, a rush to OLED.
The design work is done, some brand just has to pay for the big new factory.
Better keep your trade secrets this time and invest in a non Communist nation.
AC the UK always really wanted local production. The UK gov was really supportive of production in the UK going back into the 1980's.
Production line jobs in Wales and around the UK was a huge political promise back in the 1980's.
To get into UK education the idea was to set up a new UK computer design and "production".
That need in the UK to create advanced low level code, software, the OS, some design of the needed chip sets and production never went away generations after the many 1980's attempts to grow UK computer production.
Re the "is not a UK company btw."
The UK never cared about the origins of the parts needed.
The idea was new production line work in the UK.
Jobs for workers in the UK that could export a new product globally.
Understand the new production line methods and what improvements they offered metal work and engine design.
Don't just use robots to produce 20 year old car designs with less union workers.
Quality control.
Make the new cars look good, drive well, be efficient and pass on the new technology to people buying new cars.
10 and 20 year old car parts resold every decade as a new "looking" car is not a new car design.
Learn from what was working and not working well in a France, Italy, West/Germany, Japan, South Korea.
Why their really great cars could start in cold weather. Why their cars rusted.
Make sure the "car" can work in hot and cold conditions.
Ensure the feeling of "power" a car owner wants to buy into is actually offered by the brand.
Stop putting 20-30 year old engine tech that cant keep up in a "new" car at new car design prices.
Robots can make really good quality cars, sell that improved quality.
Get the paint work, shut lines, electrics right.
The US missed every vital step to change to and use robotics.
AC the UK always wanted its production lines back. The UK gov pushed for a lot of production work for UK computers back in the 1980's.
Why not do the hardware in the UK too?
Why support a Communist government in China when people in the UK can get new computer jobs?
Clean up the streets.
No parked RV.
No tent cities blocking paths and areas set aside for bikes.
No waste and trash left out on the streets.
Stop criminals from doing crime in nice city areas. Give good city police back their powers to enforce laws
No open drug use.
Make all US cities great again and good people can enjoy their bike commute again.
Really nice scenic bike routes in and around cities. No more having to navigate crime infested urban areas with trash and waste.
Set up secure factory networks in say the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Ireland.
Make a deal with the governments for union free, low tax, low cost workers.
Such pro West nations would have kept all US secrets and produced great export products for generations.
They don't happen in the West as the legal and security controls would be in place to stop illegal such events.
No instant way to legally set up a new factory in the "West" with the same look and feel of the tech for export.
Its the generational changes that China wanted.
The sealed battery design. CPU, GPU, storage use. Battery time. The ability to make a new production line work with less workers, robots
Thats the US design skill that set advanced and new US designs apart from the existing generations of smartphones and flip phones.
Thats all US tech that gets transferred out when seeking low cost nations.
Different nations have police registration for tourists. This allows police to quickly track everyone in their nation as they are citizens/approved tourists/ people allowed to be in that nation.
Re "climate" won't keep the power on day and night at a low price.
Only having low cost power when the sun is up and then wind is blowing results in changes in power costs.
Thats when the natural gas-fired power plant gets to set any price it wants.
Thats no good for a state that wants to export to the world and needs low cost energy production 24/7.
Who is going to pay for new solar, wind and extensive new battery storage?
Thats going to add to the cost of power. Power that's only low cost when then sun is out and the wind speed is correct.
Pay for extensive battery storage too? Who is going to pay for all this?
Low cost energy that stays on 24/7 at a low price is what a productive and export friendly state needs.
The sun goes down.
The wind stops.
Then its time for that really big natural gas-fired power plant to fill the gap.
Then its sunny again and the wind works as expected again.
The moving of content and payments away from traditional services.
The artist/creator gets funded away form the politics of banks, CC, membership platforms, social media.
The user has their own bandwidth move the content globally.
The pressure is from brands in China that can sell for $300 just to spread their brand globally for years.
Then South Korea has quality products at a US price too.
Designed in CA is not doing well with new service, products that people will pay so much for.
Make repair work counterfeiting so no parts can be sent around the world.
With no new low cost parts the repair work will become too expensive.
Users will have to buy a new smartphone.
People are keeping older smartphones for longer?
Repairing older tech?
That could all be changed with a must have OS update.
Just alter the way the OS updates year to year and only push security updates down for older smartphones.
That would induce the users to buy again to get the new GUI and support?
Re "you're not restricted from buying fossil fuel vehicles."
The new tax rate will make that electric car the only option for most people looking to buy a new car.
Re "That's the opposite of true."
The tax exists to change the way people buy a new car, forcing them to buy electric.
Like you can in Norway.
From a selection of new electric cars. Unless a person can afford to pay the full tax rate.

Its nice to read the CIA Marble Framework results when the code shows what foreign language text the CIA wanted to be found.
