I think this move could harm US in two ways: It will reduce the immigrant diversity which might make the population skew towards the biggest immigrant population such as from India and Mexico which are not in this list. Second it will remove USA as top destination for talent, which will help stop brain drain from these countries causing their local industry to benefit and thereby reducing the edge of US companies.
Basically, just like the airlines, the hotels are saying if you are such a broke destitute to be able to upgrade to our premium tier, then go suffer in the smell of your own shit.
Agree 100% the website is very well layed out. The information is presented in very readable format. After a single scroll I was able to fully understand the issues and conclude that the guy has a valid case. Too bad for Volvo for having a horrible customer support
Lovable is really good at this kind of use case and experience. Ironically it's also Swedish philosophy based, no much hardcore tech(the heavy lifting is claude ) but focus on the experience. Similar to Volvo not promoting speed and handling but emphasize safety. But we know now that speed and handling in many ways show the tech of that vehicle and it reflects on safety to a large scale Imho
The title of the article is misleading. Making C and python talk to each other implies, calling python from C and calling C from python. The article only covers the former.
Thank you @Tesla for engineering the best passive safety in the world. I walked away without a scratch.
I walked away without a scratch. This could have easily killed an innocent pedestrian or bicyclist. How is this best safety engineering? If the FSD failed there should have been some secondary system to detect an imminent collision and apply brakes.
> If the FSD failed there should have been some secondary system to detect an imminent collision and apply brakes.
There actually is. The Automatic Emergency Braking functions separately from FSD and can prevent collisions in some cases. It doesn't work 100% of the time so I wouldn't rely on it, but at least it works as well as or better than competitors' systems.
It is passive-aggressive sarcasm. If you say mean things about Tezla on X there is a chance you may be banned/sued/delisted, especially if it involves a crash. So everything has to be couched in false praise. Nobody really thinks the cybertruck does better in a crash than a merc or bmw. Its just something said by the posfer in order to get thier story to a wider audience.
> Big fail on my part, obviously. Don't make the same mistake I did. Pay attention. It can happen. I follow Tesla and FSD pretty closely and haven't heard of any accident on V13 at all before this happened. It is easy to get complacent now - don't.
> I do have the dashcam footage. I want to get it out there as a PSA that it can happen, even on v13, but I'm hesitant because I don't want the attention and I don't want to give the bears/haters any material.
>He even says he doesn't want to give the haters ammunition
That part was what made me question if it was real! "Don't want to give the haters ammo" at the tail end of a story about how his $100k pickup truck drove into a lamp post.
Passive safety is the art of engineering cars so that when they do crash, the occupants are unharmed.
What you're asking for, though, is definitionally impossible: obviously the cameras didn't detect the obstacle, so FSD or no, they can't react to it. The actual solution would be to do what every other car maker with self-driving pretensions does and augment the cameras with LIDAR or other sensors.
> Passive safety is the art of engineering cars so that when they do crash, the occupants are unharmed.
Judging by the (illegal in Europe) design, passive safety is the only safety Cybertruck has, and the safety of others have absolutely zero importance. Fits with how the rest of the world sees the typical American as well, so maybe not a big shocker.
> What you're asking for, though, is definitionally impossible
Why is it impossible for the car to stop (legally obviously) if it fails to merge, or even hit the curb, instead of continue straight forward like nothing happened?
Europe's safety is optimized for its environment: mostly narrow, crooked, and crowded streets with a lot of pedestrians. Most use cases for a pickup truck that's only sold in North America are in the part of America where you're much more likely to crash into a tree, deer, fence post, etc than you are a person.
I see lots of SUVs in Europe, which are light-truck sized (and are more often than not built on top of light truck chassis). That plus the preponderance of trucks in US cities suggests to me that it's mostly a cultural and regulatory issue, not a matter of driving environment.
The OP said 'in Europe'. I'm only in one bit of Europe admittedly, but I haven't seen any of those on the road. I don't think they are generally available.
> Most use cases for a pickup truck that's only sold in North America are in the part of America where you're much more likely to crash into a tree, deer, fence post, etc than you are a person.
Not many trees, deer, fence posts in the Costco parking lot compared to people.
Dunno; last time I was in SF, I saw one of these absurd items (they are even sillier in person), right in the city, lots of people around. If they’re so rural-adapted, perhaps they shouldn’t be allowed enter built-up areas.
> Passive safety is the art of engineering cars so that when they do crash, the occupants are unharmed.
Passive safety usually is defined as reducing the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants in an accident AND also protecting other road users. You left off the second part.
I think this will have some interesting consequences. The US dollar used to be backed by gold, then Nixon ended that and then it got tied to oil, so in effect it was still backed by something tangible. The rest of the world currencies being somewhat linked to dollar were also indirectly tied to oil. Now the dollar is backed by nothing and by extension the rest of the currencies. In that sense dollar is now just a digital currency.
>the petrodollar is nothing like the gold standard, where a dollar was pegged to a specific amount of gold.
>in effect it was still backed by something tangible.
I expect for the foreseeable future, with a few hundred dollars you will still be able to drive your Corvette (or other pleasure craft) around for quite a pleasurable tour.
The thing that changes is the number of miles you can go according to the present asset value of your fuel at any one time.
People got accustomed to that part of it a long time ago, after Nixon sacrificed the currency to the Saudis.
With complete discharge as a petrocurrency, that could end up with some place other than the US, one which average income is abysmal by comparison, being fully able to collectively purchase more Corvettes for cash than Americans because of debt levels relative to tangible assets.
Besides with the attacks happening right now on commercial ships in Gulf of Aden. It could become very expensive to bring anything out from these fabs or providing raw material
