Combat Theory posted:Throwaway product design is the most drat infuriating thing to ever cross my engineering desk and the main reason I'm loving leaving this industry. are engineers really designing things not to fix them, or is it just lazyness where 0 effort is put into "how to make it easy to change components"? i have a mechanic friend and he says nissan is terrible for this. like if you want to change something in the clutch you have to take appart the whole car to open that one cover or something. he says it's not necessarily done on purpose, it's just bad engineering. i've designed physical things in the past and it always took quite the effort to build it in a way that i could more easily replace parts or fix it i'm not sure apple or samsung are putting all this glue in their phones because they specifically engineered it against being able to change parts. i feel like glue is just a cheap and easy to "design" way to hold things together

i absolutely will not start driving as long as every passenger in my car is not wearing their seatbelt. i also will not hesitate insist people who are in the same car as me to wear it, and will become a dick if they refuse. there is literally no reason not to wear it unless you have a death wish. also a murder wish, as your stupid flying body can kill me i guess you can say i am mad, mad about seat belts

My son got one a couple of months ago - and after spending a day playing around with it - I'm hooked. I just recently ordered a model 3 with the "full self-drive" option (which right now is really just a more powerful computer - and has more value than JUST some hoped-for-future-upgrade) - and it should be here in a couple of weeks. The advance that this car represents is more than just "An electric car" and more than "A car that's actively moving towards full self driving" and more than a 5.5 second 0-60 time. I mean - let's pretend it's NOT an electric car and it DOESN'T have self-driving stuff...let's just review it as if it had a gasoline engine and regular cruise control. I'd still have been wowed enough to order one. Just to sit in the thing and see the interior that's utterly devoid of weirdly labelled buttons and knobs - just one big touch screen for just about everything. Every smallest thing is automated. That you can control it from your phone almost as well as from sitting inside the thing. That it has "Dog Mode" so you can leave the car unattended with your dog inside and it'll keep the temperature safe. Every tiny detail about what a car should be has been re-thought. Consider that it has a burglar alarm ("sentry mode") that's actually USEFUL...so instead of just pointlessly making a loud noise (which everyone else in the world just shrugs off as a false alarm) when it's already too late - it sees suspicious behavior around the car - it pings your cellphone - it records 360 degree video AND it plays loud music (which, admittedly, everyone will ignore). When you go to "refuel" at a Tesla supercharger - the charger and the car talk to each other - the cost of charging goes to whatever credit card you told the car to use. As you bring the charger "nozzle" towards the car, the "gas flap" opens as if by magic. The car and charger negotiate current versus battery temperatures. Heck, as you drive towards the charging station, the car starts pre-warming/cooling the batteries for optimum charge temperature. In the event of a crash - you have 360 video from the car so it's clear why the accident happened and who's fault it was...it saves realtime video to a USB card if you plug one into it. Then...no oil changes...the service interval is "NEVER!"...aside from tires and wiper blades - there is essentially nothing that runs out or wears out. There are REALLY subtle things going on that you'll never even notice - so, for example, you have regenerative braking which absorbs kinetic energy and dumps the waste energy into the battery. But what happens if the battery is fully charged? No more regenerative brakes? Well, the Tesla reserves a certain amount of battery capacity specifically for regenerative braking capacity - and (of course) you still have old-school brake pads. While you're waiting for your car to charge - there are video games. There is a car racing game (kinda like MarioKart) where you drive using the Tesla's actual controls. More games are added every month or so. It was recently found that the old 40 bit encryption between keyfob and car wasn't enough to prevent high-tech thieves from stealing cars. So they did a live software update to both car and keyfob(!) to push that to 80 bits...and just yesterday, they did another update to make the 80 bit encryption even better. There is no other car on the entire planet where you get that kind of post-sales service. NONE. There is very much to be loved here. (Oh - and it is all-electric and it does self-drive better than any other car you can buy - and literally is improving with new self-drive upgrades every month or so). Sorry if this reads like a Tesla advert...except they don't advertise - ever - so you avoid the $1000 or so you pay on any other kind of car for the cost of all of the bloody annoying adverts they used to persuade you to buy it.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:thing about commercial and industrial applications though is that it is way more situations where more fudging is possible. for example locking automatic trucks along an active route to only a single lane, and adding signage informing the public of their behavior, as well as lights to indicate (emergency) stops happening up ahead. then just use conservative waymo driving in that lane, between depots, and have it stop faced with any significant uncertainty. add remote operator takeover for getting them going after a stop. or, you know, use another system with it's dedicated lanes that go from point a to point b, like loving rails

i'm sure the current frameworks for making user interfaces flight-proof in the industry don't have 1-bit color, 2000ms response time, and totally have the ability to show real-time video! or, you know, maybe if you design a system well enough, it's okay to use what is probably one of the most tested piece of software in the world (webkit) for what is essentially a thin client for some actual well written piece of flight control software made by actual engineers. or would you prefer that they wrote the flight software in ada which lead to an overflow loosing the ariane 5? it's not like the astronauts in the capsule are doing much anyways. go play outside Skyler fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Jun 7, 2020 |
