Of course, Waymo faces some likely competition from Tesla, which announced its self-driving Cybercab robotaxi at its We, Robot event. Tesla already offers a ride-hailing service for its Bay Area employees, but the company relies on safety drivers for now.
I might be wrong, but my impression is that Tesla is years behind Waymo as of now.
They’re well suited for commuting, but for larger distances, your’re out of luck if the battery is empty after an hour or so.
I think many electric motorcycles are pretty bad. 5 kwh battery and 4 hours charge time? Sounds like 2010 to me.
There are better models, but they’re quite expensive in comparison.
No, these trucks are actually useful.
This car doesn’t feel at all like a Smart, it is quite large (4.7 meters).
You can trim it even further:
It would surprise me if there was a battery subscription, at least none of the articles mention something.
For a start, try hosting something in your own home. A raspberry or an older PC or laptop should be enough.
My first projects were a print server (so I can print via wifi) and a file server. Try to find something that is useful for you.
Only start hosting on the internet when you’ve learned the basics and have more experience.
Maybe do a trace with wireshark and compare the connection attempts?
Most website blocks are done on a dns level, maybe vivaldi doesn’t accept the “wrong” dns replies, uses DNS-over-HTTPS or doesn’t query any affected dns servers.
Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and offer lower resolutions on general desktop PCs.
Generally, we (sadly) see smart monitors come up like smart TVs did ten years ago.
Some noteable features include streaming apps (netflix…) and wireless screen mirroring from phones.
Is replacing batteries common for hybrid cars?
Most batteries last about 1000+/- cycles, so person driving a plug-in hybrid car mostly electric might face a bad battery after only three years (assuming daily full charge). This is just my personal calculation, I’ve never really heard any reports on this issue.
At least in europe, there are some strong trends towards cheaper EVs in general. One example is the Volkswagen id.3, that is now available for under € 30.000.
But the range argument is also true: Almost any car comes with a 50 kwh battery these days (in europe at least).
This article claims that battery prices in China are already below the figure that Goldman Sachs expects by 2030:
The prices of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in China have decreased by 51 percent over the past year. The average price per kilowatt-hour has fallen to $53, compared to the global average of $95 per kilowatt-hour last year, according to Bloomberg.
$53 per kwh is roughly $3000 for a typical, small battery (50-60 kwh).
Really? At least 90% of packets I get are deposited without signature.
I think it is necessary to make a difference between delivering cheap stuff and a new iPhone or laptop.
At least in europe, these fast food chains almost always have electric charging. I think it’s a good fit, because charging the car and eating something takes about the same time.
They should have split it so both of them can enjoy at least 50% of it.
I wonder if this explanation given in the article is true for France and other EU countries or some overly optimistic hope from desperate EV fans:
