a majority of ontarios power is nuclear as well. plans have been delayed to construct new candu reactors but they're working to implement new smr designs at darlington by the end of the decade currently

nah i think about where i lived back home, we'd have random blackouts that would last several hours multiple times a year just because infrastructure is iffy out in the country. this would have been really helpful i don't particularly care about the cybertruck since anyone who's paying for one of those turds will probably also pay for a p-p-p-p-ppowerwall

infernal machines posted:sensor fusion is hard i have no doubt about that, but it does seem like patent issues are more likely the underlying cause. that's hilariously terrifying to know, though. where do the patent issues come into play here, does anyone know? is it a cost function where the patent is explicitly related to using lidar in an adas or is it because the sensors themselves are expensive? i feel like companies are coming out with cheaper iterations on the latter every year mystes posted:To be fair it's not like anyone has real FSD even with lidar anyway, but Tesla isn't able to do even lower levels of driver assistance safely, and they're incredibly brazen about lying so by all rights they should be regulated/sued out of existence. for sure, i just find his antagonism toward it hilarious

mystes posted:I think it's mainly just the cost of the sensors and hopefully solid state lidar will change that. ahh okay. in that case i expect we'll see it in probably every non-tesla car someday. i know how costs grow over huge production numbers but it seems like we have multiple companies touting sub-$100 lidar sensors at this point

to be honest i kinda don't care what a truck looks like on the outside as long as it works great and is comfortable on the inside with the features you'd expect from an electric car today. i'm not worried about resale, i tend to drive poo poo until it dies. i just don't trust any of these new companies to really succeed longterm, though, and it's not like a risk you can take on a rando laptop or phone maker, say.
