There will be significant differences in demands made by the end users of a web browser and a viable CAD system for serious work though. It is an extremely tough market that many have been shaken out of. Reliability is…
> Regulators continue to allow it, and their opinion > internet randos. This is true. > When they force FSD to be pulled, then there is weight behind the argument. Well, I suppose that it is pretty hard to dispute this,…
In my view, the higher-level issues with the FSD Beta program are: - A failure by Tesla to view the system that they are developing as what it really is - a physical safety-critical system and not "an AI". Those two are…
That "comparison YouTube video" is absurd and dangerous, because, at minimum... A Level 4-capable vehicle (a Waymo vehicle) is an incomparably different system than a Level 2-capable vehicle (a vehicle equipped with FSD…
In my book, Tesla gets a bad rap for providing an unvalidated, should-be safety-critical system to run-of-the-mill consumers without an accompanying Safety Management System. The fact that they profit handsomely off…
> According to Moravy, vehicle assembly processes haven’t changed in the last 100 years, which he says is “really silly. Where to start with this article? Here is a good spot I guess. First off, Moravy is wrong. If…
In some cases, yes, but certainly not in all of them (or a majority of them) here in Detroit (based on photographs taken by urban explorers). There are many department stores and theaters, for example, that had wide…
Not to challenge your comment, but we have been converting office high-rises into apartments all over Detroit seemingly quite successfully and tastefully - with buildings built in the 1920s no less. I am living in a…
Hmm. Perhaps I should have read the parent's comment more carefully. I think that I might have misinterpreted it. You (and the parent comment) are correct. My comment was not intended to argue that a recall prescribed a…
I agree.
> The OTA updates do provide an avenue to make cars much safer by reducing the friction for these type of safety fixes. True, but let us also acknowledge the immense systems safety downsides of OTA updates given the…
No consumer can purchase any vehicle that is capable of "self-driving" or "driving itself" today. Tesla's vehicles are not capable of self-driving and, at all times, the human driver is driving the vehicle as both…
> I'm not sure why they don't explicitly write in the report that the driver may have been trapped in the back seat, and was unable to locate or use the mechanical release to escape. Because the NTSB cannot establish…
My experience is the opposite for what it is worth. I used to own an ID.4 (which was a great car in my opinion, but I recently moved from Dallas to Detroit and, ironically, was able to go car-free in Detroit). I made a…
> No one would live in Detroit because it’s bleak and sprawling. San Francisco is beautiful and cosmopolitan. The trajectory of Detroit is irreversible and structural As someone who just moved to Detroit (in October of…
The theater part was demolished. The high-rise building part remains and is being converted into residential units right now.
Detroit is doing it all over the place. I live in an office building that was first opened in 1914 and was converted into residential units. Another 18-floor office building across my street is being converted as we…
> I find hard to believe that no one has thought about this before Automotive companies utilize a myriad of frame designs for their vehicles - each one a collection of different alloys, structural shapes and castings…
> The reason people think Elon may do level 5 autonomy is because his companies have accomplished several things that industry experts said were either infeasible or impossible. That is all well and good, but what is at…
See the full Ford press release for more information: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2020... There are apparently plans in motion to work with GE Healthcare on "simplified" ventilators (under…
> Tesla does more than final assembly, so it's an apples-to-oranges comparison. True, but, this estimate of labor was provided by Michelle Hill, a manufacturing expert at management consulting firm Oliver Wyman who is…
I cannot comment either way on Animats' thoughts (because I do not have enough information to do any concrete analysis). However, for what it is worth, Bloomberg's latest article on the trials and tribulations of Model…
I wonder how Microsoft eventually dealt with this: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/06/intel... Intel seemed to indicate at the time that it was really interested in any licensing around the x86 ISA.
This article reminds me of a report that John Stossel did some years ago on the economics of sport stadiums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bGNIgdOLa0
