I’d give you twice that, if I was in hands-free mode… :)

Name checks out.

Google Maps will occasionally direct me to make a right turn and then a U-turn instead of the perfectly desirable left-turn lane with a protected green arrow, so I dunno about giving it priority.

My TLDR of the OP’s TLDR of the Autoblog’s TLDR of the Stratechery podcast (only available on Spotify, for $15 per month) is: “Other car maker’s software than Rivian and Telsa sucks and Carplay is the preferred escape path, but it’s not very good at the actual important car stuf and creating a...

Note: In the event of ownership transfer, a one-time purchase of Autonomy+ stays with the vehicle.

No. LIDAR is “just” a different type of sensor with its own strengths and limitations. Traditionally it was quite expensive and so the more cost advantageous approach was to use it to map entire roads for high resolution maps, meaning pointing in every direction and storing those results...

Some people struggle to learn that jokes have boundaries, and the medium of their delivery can muddy their intent, their reach, and their reception. I still fail at this.

I wonder what it would cost Rivian to buy those samples for the, ah, discriminating Rivian owner.

I have to disagree. One major concern people (at least should) have is the privacy of their AI communications. If Rivian controls the majority of your vehicle-related AI interaction then at least we don’t have to worry about Google changing their mind about data sharing and sharing your...

That’s a significant margin over the stragglers.

Is it just me or does Kirk look pretty much like he did in half of his episodes.

Hear me out out … “Space Tunnels” !

They think they’re pushing the brake but simply not hard enough so they push the accelerator even harder. I’ve been a passenger in a car when this happened. It maxed out their insurance from the property damage it caused.

Service could be trivial for a system such as this because the bikes are not *that* expensive that Rivian mobile couldn’t service them for you by simply bringing a new bike in the bed of an R1T (no need for the expense of tow trucks, etc.), swapping out any customization from your’s, leaving you...

It’d be trivial to jam. But security doesn’t need to stop everything - or it’d cost more than the product. It’s just needs to stop enough to keep the insurance palatable.

As RJ likes to talk about, and correctly IMO, we need to generate desirable options for people, which is generally proven by looking at the flip side in that when we remove options then we seem to optimize for misery (think of gas stations [and attendant traffic] on every corner, spread out...

Does anyone ride anything other than scooters with a “bench” seat? It seems it’d be the most comfortable if you were likely to be frequently stopping and needing to put your feet down, but it’s been too many years since I rode a bike with a banana seat to remember if it was comfortable while...

FTFY. If you like concert level volume with strong bass, you won’t be happy at all. If you like concert level volume, it will only sound better as you age.

RJ talks about them wargaming various scenarios, so I suspect this is one of them. However, the historically easiest place to source them from now unavailable will certainly affect supply chain costs and probably delivery schedules. Many other Asian countries have the materials but less of the...
