Tesla files Parallel Processing patent to reduce FSD hardware error risks ByJoey Klender Posted on August 26, 2021 Tesla has filed a new patent for “Parallel Processing System Runtime State Reload,” comprising of a system of three or more processors working in conjunction to effectively...

I actually have a classic pickup (1950 Ford F-1) wasting away in my backyard. It was my grandfather's and when I was a kid I used to sit in it and dream of driving it one day as my own cool pickup. Unfortunately, it seems like it would take about 100K to get really fixed up. Plus after seeing...

Yeah. It's been a long time since I traveled the chunnel. Back in the day though there were multiple options already. Chunnel train, passenger ferry, vehicle ferry, large hovercraft, commercial airplane, personal airplane, solar airplane, pedal-powered airplane, swimming. Seems like the channel...

LOL. Yes. That's an interesting example. And they added airfoil to the technology! Talk about checking the fringe tech boxes. The company is Boston-based but it seems like their proposed use is across the English Channel. To compete with the chunnel I guess.

I wish we had this kind of "ferry" in Puget Sound. It would be a great way to get between Seattle and Victoria BC. About 1/3rd the time of a normal ferry. Would be even better if it was battery-powered. Especially if the charge could be upped during passenger turn around or if batteries could...

Just wait till all those Jeep owners end up getting pulled out of sticky situations by the CTs that came along for a little adventure. I'm curious how they will take it.

LOL. This won't compete with the Cybertruck. But if it had a fully electric drive train, it would be a wonderful companion vehicle. Just use it as a support vehicle around the farm. Quick trips into town. Or some of the easier offroad trails in the area. I like how they covered it in bed liner...

Not sure who the "they" is in your last sentence. I do want a trailer with a large battery with a possible range extension for the CT plus regenerative braking in sync with my CT. Possibly just a small trailer almost like towing a generator for business. But especially if towing a large...

Plus invent whole new techniques of processing. Most smelting requires oxygen in the atmosphere in order to burn fuel to heat things up. And if it’s done in 0g, how do we get the heat to “rise” from the flames to the materials being smelted… Basically all industrial processes will have similar...

so this is interesting… Starting at 0:28 Yes… SpaceX already got there but we do need options so go for it. At 0:58 I heard a comment on this today in an interview by Chris Hayes with Naomi Klein of the University of British Columbia:

I know there were a number of people wanting this exact feature on the CT. Here is a patent on it for the Mach-E. Looking at the illustrations, I have to wonder if this is really a good idea. Looks like you could get a charge plus a cracked windshield from rocks thrown up by the truck tires...

Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them Electric vehicles are prevalent now, but long-distance travel using EVs that are non-Teslas still tends to be challenging. This was, at least, the conclusion drawn by motoring publication Car and Driver following its...

Regarding the lunar lander, yes Blue Origin lost. And then protested. Wanted in on the project despite having no real plan and costing way more. Amazon caused a similar stink in a huge government contract for cloud computing. Microsoft won the contract. Amazon protested. Lost the protest...

I would have said that you are ascribing intent with your statement But Bezos himself today said something that rankled many. In an interview just after landing he said I can certainly see why people reacted to this. And I think this thinking basically backs up your idea. This approach is...

I do appreciate that a billionaire gets to take all the joy rides he wants. I just find it interesting that so far the current development level at Blue Origin seems very far behind what is happening at SpaceX. Not for nothing, but Blue Origin seems to be even further behind SpaceX than the...

I found this to be really interesting. Even just to get an idea of size as a proxy of difficulty.

Elon already has his own ev airplane design. I'm guessing that he is pretty sure what he would build if he were to actually decide to build flying craft. But the issue is resources. Where his resources would be best used. And how many resources (engineers) are available.

There was a glitch in the matrix and it edited out one key point in that text: Full self driving will be available by the end of the year <snip>2024</snip>.

If the chemical is safe to release, that alone might qualify it as a replacement for our current chemical solution. Isn't Tesla currently in a pickle at the German plant over coolant chemical in an "unauthorized" container? Better efficiency would be a nice side benefit too. I'd assume that all...
