I think Dave's burnt out on this BS, and it's starting to show. These scams are a dime a dozen, and the only thing that exposing them gets you seems to be a bunch of raving scam victims angry at you as though you're the one stealing their money. At this point, if you're giving money to indiegogo, kickstarter, or whatever other campaign programs exist you're getting screwed. If you're a government agency giving money to today's version of Solar Roadways, then you should be kicked out of office.
If you really want your mind, blown the first autonomous vehicle to drive coast to coast in the US happened in 1989. A vehicle from Carnegie millen University called NavLab. It used lidar, cameras, radar, and ultrasonics. Literally the same stuff we're using today.
Yeah, I mean, some food for thought here is that Waymo started out as a research project and has been doing this since 2009 and they're ultra conservative with their behaviors. Before starting in 2009, the beginnings of the team were recruited from DARPA Grand Challenge participants. And even they have major mishaps.
Cruise, on the other hand, started out trying to sell retrofit hardware right away. Then tried convincing people they could do city driving right away. Now GM has revenue targets for them, like any adult business would, and they have no hope of ever accomplishing them. So, they're back to their old tricks, cutting down the number of miles driven for training models, rushing vehicles into service with no monitoring operators in them, deceiving investors and regulators about remote operations.
One is a slow, methodical money furnace that attempts to solve the larger problem set. The other is a fast moving money furnace that tries to get people to pay them for half measures.
Now look who's the condescending cunt. Wow. What a gaping asshole you are. Even if I was on printer support, I'd be a better person than you, sou sniveling waste of air. You didn't show shit, you posted marketing bullshit. Which is what I expect from a know nothing loser that thinks they're above other people. Only the lowest of low think that way, and I couldn't care what someone like that thinks.
Enjoy your miserable life, you'll never be happy thinking you're better than anyone else.
I think you're gullible, and that's about the only thing this thread has revealed. But you go on believing fairy tales, it makes zero difference to me.
It's not true, this is not the first time Cruise has been caught lying, and at some point an adult needs to step up and tell them to stop putting people in danger.
Even Waymo has commented on the past about Cruise playing fast and loose with the definitions of things that needed to be reported.
Specifically for the past decade that tendency has not existed here. The fact that the state had to be sued for funding just highlights how little schools are thought about here.
You see how this article, published in October, is ALSO future tense? One should wonder why if they've started building a factory line in March, there's been no change in tense, or note on progress. Hmmmm. You just made my point for me. Thank you.
Yeah, the reason most of them can afford these salaries is their previous equity payouts at other startups they've been involved in together. They specifically under-pay employees on cash compensation, and you'll notice he specifically side-stepped the topic of equity. I bet you can imagine why.
They built appliances that compete with something like VXrack. Their OS on switches, servers, etc. and you interact with their front-end. They spent basically 4 years writing custom firmware for and specifically selecting all of the random components on their boards. Knowing the people involved, it's another in a long line of projects like this that they've dove into and haven't made great progress on.
Notice how that article is from July, and they didn't report progress on such a line? Odd, no? Surely in four months the tense would have gone from "will" to "is", right? And yet...
Going to be some grim education results in the near future. But New England has done well for too long I guess, so it's time to screw it up in the name of a political hack.
You're the one bitching and outraged by it. I prefer to not have my location tracked, or my daily activities exposed to the kinds of people investing in Twitter. You signed up for this, you get what you deserve at this point.
which means more power in a smaller size and weight.
You're conflating two metrics, which doesn't bode well for this conversation. Gravimetric and volumetric densities are different, and so far solid state batteries don't have an advantage on either front. The hope is that they will have a gravimetric density advantage at some point, but not necessarily volumetric.
Higher safety
I've already explained to you that existing LiB cells use non-flammable electrolytes, so this isn't an advantage. You're a decade behind the state of the art.
Shorter charging times
Which again hasn't been demonstrated by anybody in real life yet.
as the solid electrolyte allows faster movement of ions.
Intercalation is still the slowest part of the transfer, and solid electrolyte does nothing for that. What might improve that is polymer doped cells, but so far that's been another complete disaster.
A wider range of operating temperatures
Again the electrolyte is only a part of this equation. And while it doesn't freeze like older LiB electrolyte would, we're so far past this problem in most applications that nobody even cares anymore.
Longer lifespan
Nope. Every demonstration so far has VASTLY shorter cycle lifetimes, which is further exacerbated by the worse gravimetric density. I'm really not sure where you do any of your research, but reading press releases is rotting your mind with marketing hype.
