Also humans navigate the world just fine with vision only.
First of all, are you new? Have you ever driven? If you think humans are just fine, you must be a shit driver with low fucking standards. Second, as bad as they are, humans have brains and cars don't. They can do things with those brains that the cars can't do. Finally, try not to suck Elon Musk's dick on your way through the parking lot.
Making decisions is not the same thing as reasoning, although it's nice when the former is the result of the latter.
It's such an absurdly distant second that you come off as completely disingenuous.
Sure, to the ignorant. That explains your comment neatly. Most of the divide is due to growth in Chinese manufacturing, not contraction of American manufacturing. While we sent our unprofitable cheap electronics goods manufacturing overseas, we not only kept but expanded the heavy equipment manufacturing. However, China expanded theirs a lot more.
What's going to really harm our manufacturing in a way that reduces our need for machinists is Cheeto Benito fucking up our relationship with the rest of the world, which is going to cause more boycotting of American manufacturers, and more nations will have nowhere to turn for their heavy equipment but China.
there are areas where China has better protections than the US for ordinary citizens
Too bad they don't extend to not being executed in a van for cheating on your taxes.
Oh, did you know? China is a significant market for US automakers.
Only until US cars are no longer aspirational to anyone because China makes better ones in every category, which is coming quickly.
They did it with rare-earths... it is not about economic sense it is about power.
That was for economic reasons, ID10T.
Stop moving the goalposts
You're a fucking idiot. The court system is part of the process of that conviction you respect so much because you're a douchebag cuck.
Maybe that could have been replaced with a digital gauge that reports to a central system, but if it ain't broke...?
But it is broke.
You could park a small camera in front of it, with some machine vision, and have that talk to the mothership. This robot is just that, but can move from one gauge to another.
This robot is that, only with a lot more latency and cost.
But I'm sure someone here will graciously explain why I'm wrong and how IPv6 will save the world.
You're wrong because it's not supposed to save the world, only to save us from having to half-ass update to IPv8 in a few years.
Wonder if I was modded down by a Nazi, an animal abuser, or both
We are second in manufacturing only to China, so the idea that we stopped manufacturing is ignorant. On brand though.
"and one must have been duly convicted of a crime to have the second imposed upon them."
So you think our courts are fair? Ok noob.
Do you want a list of ways in which America is evil or what? Because it's fucking long.
Please keep in mind that competent automakers are a critical part of military readiness. Can you imagine Stellantis trying to come up with a replacement for the Abrams today? It makes me ill just thinking about it.
Don't these batteries have to be charged
You really thought you had a mic drop moment there, didn't you? Holy fuck. STOP THE PRESS, BATTERIES HAVE TO BE CHARGED!
Go too far to the left and you get folks who hate EVs because in their mind everyone should just be living in a walkable city and riding a bicycle.
While you're in fact not entirely wrong regardless of winking, as I have personally encountered those people in passenger rail debates and they are irritating fucking idiots at best (literally nobody on the planet is more ableist or dismissive than bike nazis) I think the leftiest leftists want transport systems that work for everyone.
Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock.
