A man who narrowly survived an ebike battery fire that killed his partner and two children says he is tormented by grief and guilt but determined to fight to change the law to avoid similar tragedies....
I imagine most of the batteries aren't LFP due to size restrictions on the bikes, but if the industry could move to that instead of pushing for even more range that'd be a huge boost in saftey
There was some internal dispute and he also claimed it was a conflict of interest with Tesla developing AI stuff. But I can't imagine how any conflict that may have existed with OpenAI doesn't exist with xAI
Electric motors can last a really long time, assuming no defects, they should outlast the battery by a Longshot.
That leaves the battery, and an LFP battery should also last a hell of a long time, probably a decent way into a million km before you have degraded to about 80%.
If you got those key items lasting, then it just depends on how well the rest of the car holds up, but replacing small parts while the motors and battery works is probably always going to be more cost effective.
The problem is the battery is a wildcard still.
We know how long those LFP batteries should last in a car, but they're also pretty are in cars and we don't have that real world data yet.
I also fear that OEMs will still gouge us on replacement batteries 15 - 20 years from now when costs are even lower and replacing the battery shouldn't be so expensive.

Train the AI on what glaze does and it'll eventually be able to deglaze. So glaze gets better and stops it for a bit and then the deglazer gets better and wins again. Repeat forever.
Oh that's a different matter entirely... I was thinking Nato borders, and TBH I'm not sure how much that would be beneficial as NATO borders are mainly on the far side of the conflict.
If NATO was going to protect the first 150km into Ukraine from Russia's side, what's the difference between that and all of Ukraine?
The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....
Currently they've been having him control a cursor. He can left and right click it.
He can perform as good as he could before the problem now it seems, so if that's the case that extra bit rate wasn't needed for that task.
What this probably means is he won't be able to do as much as they learn more about it.
Maybe 1 year in the 2nd patient with full fidelity is able attach it to a robotic arm and fetch themselves a drink, but Nolan while he can click as good, won't be able to do that.
Also if they fix it eventually, as they didn't say never, just not yet, they'll never know if that discrepancy occurs.
I think my confidence would be tied to if there were any complications on the monkeys or pigs with going deeper.
My intuition says go as shallow as needed to get the data you need as the deeper you go the more something could go wrong, but as we see here, going shallow also has problems.
I'm assuming they tested different depths on animals, so as long as deeper in the animals didn't specifically cause problems, I think I'd be fine with it as a solution.
Now, if they didn't try these depths during the animal trials, well, that's another matter entirely.
I'm surprised anyone would think there wasn't harmful pollutants emitted when combusted, it's burning things. I would have thought the exhaust fans above them though were enough to make it a non issue.
Too lazy to read the actual report, but hopefully they're able to properly account for the differences in deaths caused when using proper ventilation vs not using proper ventilation, and show the risk factor between the two.

I wonder to what extent they can take advantage of the ocean liquid cooling the cables to increase transmission capabilities.
Edit: On further thought, I guess they don't want excess heat as that would increase losses, so while the cooling could be beneficial, preventing the heat in the first place would be better.
Didn't the USA know it didn't have enough ammunition for a long term war and were using their air superiority and other tech/warfare advances to limit the kind of warfare that'd require that?
He's claimed before that he honestly believes it each year by watching the progress the past X months, but suddenly all progress stops as their method hits a plateau. So they keep changing methods.
It's probably an honest mistake the first time or two, but he's done this every year since and has no credibility anymore.
After being wrong by a year or two, he should have explained what was going in, and shut up about it, with a simple I don't know when it'll be ready but you should see forward progress each year.
The part of the claim here where they wouldn't upgrade the cameras is a part that I'm highly interested in.
I don't expect tesla to upgrade any hardware beyond what they believe is required which they claim hardware 3 is.
But the moment a hardware 3 car can't flip a switch and become level 3/4 SAE autonomous and a hardware 4, 5, 6 or whatever it is if/when solved is required, I think there's a massive lawsuit there unless Tesla somehow upgrades the cars.
Suddenly the car didn't come with the hardware required and can't function as described, especially back when it was announced.
Tesla will say, oh we'll get it working on HW3 next year... and try to kick the can to avoid liability, but I don't think that will work long.
Edit: and as per the ruling, it sounds like the new knowledge that the car can't on HW3 but can on others, would trigger new knowledge opening up past the statute of limitations
