Text of the law only seems to mention cars that solely use electricity.

If Mars couldnâ(TM)t have a steady source of coffee, that wouldâ(TM)ve been the end of SpaceXâ(TM)s plans to colonize the planet.

One of the videos on the website mentions a diesel hydraulic. Does that mean this thing is running of diesel? If so, how much fuel does it use to run?

Of course the Venusian day is kind of long.

Apologies if this is a duplicate, it hereâ(TM)s some links to info on how the hack worked.

Yep, we turned the corner ... into an oncoming bus.

What I don't understand about the dire warnings from the Question 1 opponents is (1) why are dealers recording personal data in cars in the first place and (2) why is this data being transmitted over the air in the first place?

If you were to ask consumers "Would you like your car to record personal data about you and then transmit that wirelessly to your dealership so you do not have to go through the inconvenience of driving to a dealership and unlocking your door?" How many people would say "sure, that sounds like a great idea!"

Maybe the Tesla owners are fine with that, but many of us are like "What? Why is telemetrics even a thing?"

These "constitutional oaths" you speak of are insidious and part of a plot going back over 200 years. Their goal is nothing less than the overthrow of the natural order, rule by fiat, and the divine right of kings. How dare they!

Scale this up to miles and megawatts and stick it underground and maybe PG&E can stop starting fires or failing when there are high winds and/or earthquakes.

While I understand there are real risks to a "cyber attack" on infrastructure (just look at New Orleans after Katrina), I feel like only an American, who has no personal understanding of total devastation of WWII, could make such an inane comparison. Really? Traffic lights?

I've seen the 10.13.4 update cause a boot failure and flashing question mark. Yes, you can the machine going again by booting with the Option key down and selecting the original partition (so it's not a brick), but it gives you a brief moment of panic. It's a "point update" for pete's sake (10.13.4 -> 10.13.4) that, in the best of circumstances, seems to take like 30 minutes and 3-4 reboots on new hardware. It's bizarre.

If I recall correctly, Tesla doesn't use LIDAR. Not saying it's a good idea to skip LIDAR, but I could totally see Uber, in the wake of the Waymo settlement, rethinking their whole LIDAR strategy. Or, then again, maybe Uber replaced a big chunk of solid Waymo/Levandowski code (which they were SHOCKED to find) with a bunch of new, un-QA'ed code in their cars, so that's why the LIDAR didn't work. Either way, my guess is Uber knew the LIDAR was off or, maybe, the software was compromised.

Personally, I'm expecting to find out that Uber was secretly testing their car with the LIDAR intentionally off, to compare how well the system worked with and without LIDAR (i.e. to see if they could save a couple of bucks by not installing LIDAR).

Not to mention all the white males without college degrees who voted for Trump.
