    Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    If an apartment dweller doesn't have high-speed Internet, it doesn't kill me or my family. I cannot say the same if all apartment dwellers continued to pollute the roads my family needs to use. Some smart apartment owners are already adding EV charging but if government mandates to add...

    Washington State Plans to Ban Sales of Gasoline Cars after 2030

    When the government requires all four-wheeled vehicles on public roadways to have brakes on every wheel is that dictating control over private entities? Why should poor people have to pay for front wheel brakes when they can drive just fine with rear brakes only? And before you say, one is a...

    Polestar crash

    Well, I certainly hope it will be able to distinguish a well-painted tunnel from a real tunnel! Because, depending upon the route I take, I drive by 3 or 5 realistically painted tunnels every day! One of them always almost causes me to drive through it (even though I have no idea where it would...

    Polestar crash

    I recommend that anyone wanting a better understanding how machine learning and machine vision could possibly work, and work well, learn the basics of the subject. As you gain an understanding off what machine learning really is, and how it mimics human learning, you will understand how it will...

    Polestar crash

    Currently, Tesla is creating 3D models of the driving space in real time without using stereo lenses. They use AI which is trained with millions of images that are annotated with distance data derived by radar and LIDAR. After training, the neural net, the system can annotate non-stereo images...

    Polestar crash

    It's not even necessary to use multiple cameras to achieve high dynamic range. The same camera can take successive images at different ISO's by adjusting sensor gain instantly between frames. The human eye cannot do that. So the result would be a video of interleaved frames at different ISO's...

    Tesla owner involved in >$100K legal battle as parking garage blames ‘Autopilot’ for Model 3 crash

    The valet was a guy wearing huge boots and couldn't tell whether his boot was pressing on the brake or the accelerator. Unfortunately, rather than taking responsibility for his error he blamed the car. The insurance for the valet service should cover it 100% (including the cost of a rental...

    Car groups throw spanner in works of EU’s hydrogen drive

    Yes, current hydrogen production isn't green at all, quite the opposite. The only known method that could make sense to make green hydrogen is via electrolysis. But it requires vast amounts of green electricity to make lesser amounts of hydrogen. Using the best known processes it's very...

    Car groups throw spanner in works of EU’s hydrogen drive

    Electrolysis takes large amounts of electricity relative to the amount of useable H2 energy returned. If you already have the electricity, it makes more sense to simply charge the batteries directly rather than converting the electricity to H2, fueling up with H2 and then converting it back to...

    Car groups throw spanner in works of EU’s hydrogen drive

    Exactly! There needs to be a viable path identified even if the path is long. But this hasn't been done in any convincingly detailed manner. Probably because there is no known way to do it. In other words, H2 power is pretty unrealistic from an economic perspective without a MAJOR breakthrough...

    Car groups throw spanner in works of EU’s hydrogen drive

    How true. Except it's even worse than their "5 years out" scenario RIGHT NOW! There is no viable path in the next 10 years to make it sensible compared to simply ramping BEV more. So the 'worst possible' scenario they mention is already wildly optimistic right from the start.

    5:1 Tesla stock split

    Actually, it is projected to become insolvent by 2035 if the basic structure is not changed (meaning a reduction in benefits or an increase in SS taxes). This means SS would not be able to pay all their obligations without structural changes. That is the definition of insolvency. Yes, the...

    5:1 Tesla stock split

    Hell, I agree with your sentiments, some of my friends have even called me a socialist. But that doesn't mean you should assume the world will turn out how you hope or dream it should be. Of course I recommend living in a healthy manner but even that offers no guarantees. It's simply common...

    5:1 Tesla stock split

    With the Social Security system under constant attack by Republicans, I certainly wouldn't want to rely on it as my sole source of income through my retirement years. Many conservatives fight tooth and nail to any attempt to strengthen it. If they had their way with it, there wouldn't be any...

    5:1 Tesla stock split

    True - My observation is just that people buy a ton of :poop: they don't need and then complain they don't have enough money left over. But they can't imagine living without any of that crap. So they spend their lives in debt with the power of compounding working against them, not for them. And...

    5:1 Tesla stock split

    Oh, yes! That's what I did too! I took long motorcycle trips and passed fancy lumbering motorhomes loaded with every toy in the book (all I had was a couple of changes of clothes and some roadside snacks). I didn't make much money so when my seasonal work ended in the springtime I would take the...

    You still have your head too. I know that because people without heads generally can't type, lol!

    What do you think a TSLA share will be worth in 2025? Ignore any stock splits between now and then.

    5:1 Tesla stock split

    What I did when I was young was buy less stuff. Then I had plenty to invest in good companies. Now my account fluctuates daily by up to a quarter million or even a bit more on the most volatile days and it doesn't bother me at all. I wouldn't have this kind of money to "lose" if I never started...
