  • I’ve talked to so many fucking idiots about this that don’t get it.

    Look roads are for cars and we all did a driving test and we know how fast is safe. Numbers don’t mean anything.

    I should be able to drive 60 down a residential if I think I can. If some kid gets run over then that’s their fault and their parents. Roads are for cars. What you expect me to slow down and be late for work? I was already late when I left and this is going to add minutes to my journey people just don’t think.

    I know I’m a good driver, I’ve only ever got points for speeding and for drunk driving (but I was still driving well). There some fucking idiots on the road I agree but we shouldn’t all be punished. We need more roads so we can go faster that’s the real issue.








  • Especially in Europe there is a big question of winter energy demand not meeting supply from solar. That causes issues that wind doesn’t fully solve.

    So I get that hydrogen could be an option to balance the grid over yearly time periods. Although I think batteries still look better.

    But so much of hydrogen just seems like a scam

    It added that all necessary equipment could soon be housed on a platform directly on an offshore wind turbine

    Like why would you even do that? I don’t get it. It must go from kinetic energy to electrical then to the hydrogen plant surely. Why wouldn’t you send that electricity back to shore?





  • Humans can drive with just vision.

    Tesla is doing it the hard way. Their model involves cars just having vision and driving the same as humans do. Humans can do it, why can’t computers? Seeing as they have more cameras than 2. In theory they should be better than human drivers. Once it is solved they could instantly drive anywhere humans can.

    Waymo has taken an easier route and they have used a lot of detailed mapping with also an assortment of additional sensors. Waymo doing it the easy way has only recently achieved this. Turns out it’s really hard. Harder than everyone including the experts expected probably.

    But with advances in computing and things like LLM’s Tesla is catching up. Who knows how long that will take though? I always thought waymo was doing the right thing so I’m biased.

    Edit: this fucking website I swear. I answered the question and got downvoted for it. What more you people want from me?
