It's not your search-fu. It's a lack of data. Since it's not required to be reported in general, it mostly isn't. Kind of like killings by police. The murders are a matter of record, but PDs aren't required to report statistics about all people killed by police to anyone.

You can't trust V2Whatever because security isn't infallible. The car must always trust its sensor input over the network input so it might as well just use the sensor input. Also the primary opportunity from V2V is platooning, which can literally never be safe on pneumatic tires. There's a right way to do platooning and it is called rail.

It's necessary to stop Iran terrorizing the world

They were doing literally none of that before Trump attacked them. The big terrorists are of course Russia, and our allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia. Say, where did those 9/11 hijackers come from again?

and from getting nukes.

Iran was allowing inspections to ensure they didn't have nukes until Trump tore up that deal.

Why don't you fuck off with the rest of the child rape aficionado chatbots spreading false information to US voters?

Apple copied everything about the form of the iPhone from others including the rounded corners and the launcher with rows of icons. The rounded corners patent was bad both because rounded corners are obvious and because they didn't make the first smartphone with rounded corners.

Yeah, but that was always a dumb idea, and it was always a minority position. Also we've know exactly why we can't have solar panels like that since [before] former thin film printed panel darling Nanosolar closed their doors in 2013: Microcracks develop in the protective plastic layers on thin film flexible solar panels and let in moisture which spoils the panel. You can make a relatively long-lived plastic solar panel if you don't want it to flex much, but it doesn't save much money in the end so that's done only for portable uses where glass is simply unsuitable.

You can make very cheap thin film solar panels. They just don't last long enough to be useful.
