Of course, in most states there is net metering, so it is foolish to store it; feed it to the grid. Storing in a battery will cost you about 15 cents/kWh and more like 30 cents/kWh with Tesla powerwall, so you need to…
Few believed it would be pulled off, except the most devoted of Tesla fans. However, the point is they did promise unsupervised, which is the biggest milestone in this technology, and they didn't get there. It's like…
It varies from country to country. 3 phase can let you send more power with the same copper, but it requires the connector be larger and with more pins, so there are arguments each way -- even in the countries where 3…
No because when Tesla's system has a problem, as my car does a few times each trip, I grab the wheel. And waymo also has cars with safety drivers but also has run a million miles without one. Run Tesla FSD with no…
If you read the press yesterday you would see that the large majority of articles took Tesla's report at face value, so it needed much more explaining than you imagine.
You make me sound like Obiwan Kenobi.
That's not correct, they are no more liable than carmakers are if you are using cruise control. Unless you can show in court that their system was defective. It is designed to not be able to do the full driving task, to…
Forbes pays contributors, who do so by invitation by a Forbes editor who likes their writing. Forbes also allows companies to pay to put in stories, but they are clearly marked as such. It's amazing what people will…
Strategy is valued by a lot of viewers, myself included. As I pointed out the victory by the mathematician Anna Kiesenhofer in cycling was amazing to see, even though there was no dramatic race, because she used more…
My error. I thought I had the premium service as an Xfinity customer, and the ads were just showing up because these were sports recorded live. I definitely would have done that knowing. Well, almost definitely.…
While computer camera/laser judged pole vault/high jump would certainly be possible, and much quicker, they would be different in that the visible bar clearly creates a target in the mind of the athlete. It also has the…
Reality is all perception systems occasionally wink out, but they also have object permanence algorithms that know they are not actually doing that. Humans are not so different. You see a car coming up behind you, you…
While Forbes does have some articles from paying contributors, these are marked. Articles from "Senior Contributors" involve paying the contributor, not the other way around. So not really like Medium or Substack…
It is challenging, but so far, have people refused to buy products/services they can't repair? Have all those products died in the market as a foregone conclusion?
Yes, but the road to the mall changes from time to time, and the parking lot in the mall changes (watch a video of Waymo having to deal with a christmas tree lot set up in the parking lot of one of the malls they take a…
These systems are expected to be constantly changing and improving, and making use of constant streams of new data on updates to roads, traffic, and more in order to run.
You say there is no way in hell you would trust self driving enough to close your eyes. My experience is most people come to trust it far too soon, not too late. It's not a problem. People trust something when they see…
Correct. While 30 miles is the low end of the predicted ranges (that's more for the pure multirotor vehicles that are nimble but not efficient) these are vehicles for that urban trip. Pick you up, take you to your…
Neither humans nor robots can treat everywhere like a crosswalk. We human drivers see pedestrians standing on the edge of the road all the time, often getting ready to cross. If we slowed down every time we saw that,…

The disabling system becomes another attack surface, and unless it is pretty independent, is itself disabled by a sophisticated attack. But scared as we are of external attack, allowing the government to shut off all…
Yes, this is the point of the article
Typo fixed, sorry
Humans only drive about 500K miles in a lifetime, though there are those who drive much more. 2 million miles would be a challenge in any human lifetime, but there would be some professional drivers which attain that.
I (the author of the OP) have an article about accidents at http://robocars.com/accident.html looking into many of these issues.
