Fewer? No. There is no apples to apples comparison between a highly controlled for geofenced environment and a human that can drive a car anywhere.

This is the skill to grow. Cultivate critical thinking and watch things flourish.

With what?! Something creepier and even less desirable like ear buds with cameras?

Correct. AIs do not absolve people of responsibility. You can do awful things with the knowledge in the library, but we all know humans are the ones putting things into action, not books.

If it were not rate limited that would be acceptable for enterprise use

Hoping leadership sees the benefits to the American people in pardoning Edward and allowing him back home. Time heals wounds on all sides and builds time for understanding motivation.

Can this be done in a lightweight way that uses less resources at full speed?

Low fps seems jerky/retro?

E2E encrypt with no MITM then.

Solid hire!

Studies that pass replication and peer review alike are rare!

The premise here isn't around AI.

The premise is bait and switch.

When ordering food we expect either: a text description, a plated photo, or digitally enhanced, perfected versions of their food shot in a studio setting (fast food photos). Those are all acceptable as a way to guess what you're buying.

When a restaurant uses a photorealistic picture unrelated to the ingredients using in the dish - the business is selling customers food they can't/won't produce in reasonable facsimile, and rightfully consumers assume you are trying to pull one over on them.

Neat, and weirdly useful for refining lyrics in the same way I'd use a rhyming dictionary on occasion.

That's a perspective I've not considered before and it makes sense!

Their product and engineering partners are real and great. That said - even fly by night electric car companies like FF, Byton, Mullen, Aptera, Baker, Canoo, Lordstown, Nikola, etc had staff of hundreds of people to drive those contractors and bring the product to life. This is pure vapor and handbuilt concept until they have an actual operation off the ground.

I want so bad for this to be real, the wedge design and triangle wheels are gorgeous!

100% agree

Absolutely untrue. This is not supported in any data because an apples to apples comparison is not possible. For this to be true or a comparison to even be possible, this company would need to have their vehicles work in any place a regular car and human driver can be placed today, while their products are geo-fenced.

I love Waymo, but this is devoid of the basic questions that a journalist should be asking when verifying claims through a critical lens. Is the comparison provided to the journalist here possible to make? Why not mention that? Rehashing PR requires vetting, right?

A misleading and hastily AI-assisted article, Andrew.

I'll say it: What about improving the core product instead?

Congrats on a record setting order!

Nuclear power is a smart choice going forward but renewables are approaching good conversion efficiency - in solar 25-30% was unheard of a couple decades ago

Meta glasses are a great sign the wearer is a midwit. Feels like a favor/heads up on someone's personality and mindset, which is nice.

Awesome tech! Just generates heat and is inefficient compared to a compressor so it is less popular in the US. There are also electric absorption fridges.

Not sure they have much of a say in this. Also not really listening after seeing how they couldnt remain solvent due to issues in the last crisis - how about focusing on internal stability first before looking outward?

Agree completely!

I'd like those insecure folks downvoting this to mention if they are part of this grift and work for one of these "legacy institutions" or if they're just angry about spending a degree that isn't worth it's equivalent usefulness as toilet paper after adjusting for outcomes vs. spend.

Nice renders. Cool prototypes. Then you click the careers section and see that they're hiring.....no one. A secretary and a few fluff jobs, not a car company getting off the ground.

No engineers. No designers. No NVH specialists. No surfacing modelers, no cnc machinists, nothing.

Hard to see this as anything other than hopium and vaporware, I would love for more nations to have real car companies that ship.

GR corolla actually pretty cool I was wrong as a hot hatch it's super quick

Every model provider distills each other even if for benchmarking. Agree with all your points.

Self inflicted wounds from people so out of touch and wrapped up in their own warped worlds they never bothered to take a pulse on what value creation and service to students meant.

What a hot dump for 25k. The current corolla in all its glory and odd mix of old and new technologies should be a 15k otd car, but instead its seen as a value at 25k and will provide years of boring value for a barely attentive driver.

Correct take according to law. A mechanical style royalty would be requisite
