Comment Re:Oppressive idea (Score 5, Informative) 146

I live in Sweden and have an e-bike that is legally regulated as a moped, a Specialized Turbo Vado 6. It came with a CoC for submission to the transport agency for license plates and it has a VIN decal behind the head. The bike comes with a license plate mount. It also has a moped grade headlight with high-beam, hydraulic disc brakes, and an electric horn. It has no throttle, but it does have pedal assist up to 45km/h. To ride it, you need an AM-class drivers license and moped insurance. It looks like a bicycle, rides like a bicycle, but definitely should not be ridden by someone who does not have moped experience. I'm perfectly ok with the regulation on it.

The article is mixing two different products up and itâ(TM)s confusing. Jetson AGX is the basic platform for robotics and AI computing. Drive AGX utilizes the same chip, but there are other features that do not exist in Jetson, like ASIL-B compliance for the big ARM cores when running QNX, and ASIL-D compliance when running an AUTOSAR stack on the functional safety island (FSI) based on Cortex-R cores. The FSI could also run FreeRTOS to avoid costs with FuSa software but still be a hard realtime environment. Drive AGX supports ECC memory also. It also is not a baremetal platform like Jetson: Drive AGX runs a hypervisor and either DriveOS Linux or QNX runs in that hypervisor. You can even have multiple VMs. Jetson has an EDKII compliant EFI, Drive AGX does not. I could go onâ¦

Tell us you donâ(TM)t live in Sweden without telling us you donâ(TM)t live in Sweden.

A BankID authentication for a transaction always states who is requesting it (which may be fraudulent) and for how much the transaction is for. Itâ(TM)s no different from signing a contract you donâ(TM)t actually read.

Amazingly, technology advances over time. If your 2015 Volvo is a XC90, the sound you think is a hard drive is a cooling fan. If not, blame Ford for the late 2000s infotainment crap.
The Sensus system launched in 2015 doubled in speed in 2018, and when it was replaced with Android, it got a quad core 64-bit Intel system to run on. Performance hasnâ(TM)t been an issue for a long time.

Maybe they can fool investors, but not anyone who has ever had to build something in a highly regulated industry. There is no way they are going to take a type-certified passenger aircraft and retrofit their completely novel propulsion system into it and expect to carry passengers anytime soon. Trying to re-engineer the aircraft is crazy. It would probably be a better idea to just design a new aircraft for their propulsion system.
