Sorry, 150C (300F)

Show me one video of water boiling on a dash. Show me one reference of in-car temperatures exceeding 100C (300F), because everything I've googled tops out at half that.

It will not ever get hot enough inside a car to boil water. Not even in Phoenix Arizona in the summer, let alone in Arctic Canada.

Bacon costs $16/lb, but elk only costs one bullet. Do the math.

100 degrees C? Boiling point of water? Not even close. Besides, considering the number of cars at the north pole, the problem is not worth worrying about. Growing brittle in the severe cold would be the real issue.

It seems more natural for one drone to tell the other "get out of my way" than for that drone to phone in and say "Hey Central, contact drone in sector XYZ and tell it to get out of my way".

Why Washington? Because The Fancy Article is talking about filing flight plans, and since a central authority has to have a center, and Washington is the location of the central controlling authority in the US. (I suppose I should have said Warrenton, Virginia, home of the Air Traffic Control System Command Center, but I didn't know that earlier).

Why do you want a central controlling authority in the first place, whether or not it is geographically sharded? Why is there any need for any sort of database, 4D or otherwise? Simply have the drones talk to each other and negotiate how to avoid each other directly, like small plane pilots following visual flight rules. No need for a database. No need for any authority.

No. I'm recommending a cheap localized solution vs the expensive bureaucratic centralized solution that you're suggesting. Why should I have to talk to Washington to fly a drone over my own field?

That only takes out the symptom. The problem is at the other end of the flight path.

I think they're talking about the self piloted Amazon delivery type of drones rather than the RC hobbyist craft.

Why does it need to be centralized at all? The only way a collision is going to occur is if two drones are trying to fly through the same piece of sky at the same time. If they're close enough to do that, they are more than close enough to talk to each other wirelessly. They can then autonegotiate between themselves which one yeilds to the other.

Tell that to the Brontosa...er Apatosarus (poor creature. It went extinct twice!). Anyways, brain the size of a meatball - body the size of an articulated bus.

That's nothing. I trained my scientist to think that mice are as smart as rats. Can you believe it? Mice! So anyway, now they're doing all the gene/intelligence research on them instead.

Actually, what needs to happen is a split between the company providing the cable, and the company providing the signal on that cable.

Don't worry. By releasing the hydrogen into space, we'll all die from hyperoxia long before we run out of water.
