Except for all the fission bits, and the oxidation bits, and the matter/antimatter annihilation bits. Don't fool yourself that these aren't going on to some extent or another.
I think it would be a lot easier for automated vehicles to paint a line down the center of the lane like they do on airport taxiways rather than as lane borders. Line following circuitry is very simple to build.
One thing that kind of grinds my gears is stories that link back to previous Slashdot stories. A good example is this one. Near the end it says "SpaceX successfully landed its Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral in December." I would expect to be able to follow that link to a relevant news site, not a Slashdot discussion. (Obviously, if the line went "As we discussed here, SpaceX successfully landed its Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral in December.", that would be a different story.)
Perhaps if the links in the story were post-fixed with the sites in square brackets the same way that they are in the comments...
Brushless DC motors have electronic circuits to energize the coils in the proper sequence. Trying to run such a motor as a generator will not work. To use such a motor as a generator, you have to replace the drive circuitry with rectifiers. Now, you could combine both circuits and switch between them, but it is not something that all brushless motors can do out of the box. Brushed motors are a different story. They CAN run as generators without modification.
...that is, assuming the motors in question are permanent magnet motors to begin with.

What makes you think you can cut yourself off of the grid? There are laws against that sort of thing.

That makes no difference. The defining factor is the use of fear and terror.
Mobsters ARE terrorists. They use fear and intimidation to attain their goals.
Their normal edition *IS* their spam and snoop edition.
How about I turn something on to get ads instead of having to turn something off to prevent them?
I'd call crashing a plane could cause vision damage.
Does the constitution forbid the NSA from requesting/buying the data that Google collects?
Need hefty off-device processing is one thing. Selling the data to third parties is quite another.
I know I got lots of ideas while watching the 20 Minute Workout back in the 1980s.
Put a sharp and pointy object in the center of the steering wheel instead.
In terms of safety, that sounds like a Wash.
That wasn't coming out of the steering wheel. Wash was impaled by a Reaver weapon.

We were at $1.30/l and now we're at $0.87/l. That's a drop of well nigh a third of the price. I'd call that significant.
So we shouldn't believe them because they are just like us?
Do you need a better reason?
Well... gas prices ARE down significantly from what they were a year or two ago.
Are you implying that Pirate Bay is plural in Britain?
Um... Are you implying that Pirate Bay are plural in Britain?
"Payed" most certainly *IS* a word. Rope is payed out. Seams between the hull planks on wooden sailing ships are payed.
Came here for this. Sadly, five down; seven to go.

and
and some of the other HTML that slipped through the cracks over the years.
It wasn't a joke in the slightest.
What happened to when a computer used to be a tool? Now it's a spyware machine I'm supposed to pay for?!
It's still a tool, just one for the other team.
Why don't you test to HTML standards instead? That way your website will work no matter who browses it.
Rosebudding is simply the practice of having enigmatic last words, is it not?
