Truck drivers are capable of many things, like evasive action, calling the police, or straight up shooting hijackers.

Self-driving trucks, as they exist, aren't capable of any of those things.

if it stops when not expected; send alarm to central monitoring
if back door opens when not expected; send alarm to central monitoring

require 3-factor biometric access control on truck to get in

if truck deviates from plannes course; send alarm to central monitoring

allow remote take over of truck for emergencies when alerted to central monitoring

I'm on board with the "4K isn't noticeably different" except that I've heard this in the past both for 720vs1080p and 30-60-144fps and today I can readily tell the difference. (well, maybe not past like 45-50fps.)

Why do I have a feeling that in 3 years everyone's gonna say "well you can't even tell the difference between 4K and 16k" and everyone will have 4K anyway.

4k for computer screens is crazy amazing, but for a tv you need to sit closer depending on the size of the tv.

not saying you're dumb but that sounds like a pretty dumb think tank with zero aviation or RF expertise, you probably didn't get exposed to the kinds of people who have worked this poo poo out their whole lives and have best practices and principles nailed down by the people who retired two generations earlier during the cold war

best way

My whole living room set was $100 because my bestie's family didn't have room for it when they got a new set so I took it off their hands for way less than it would cost to rent a space to put it all


edit - it's not hideous or anything tho, pretty normie stuff
I share a two bedroom duplex in an affluent neighborhood and it's cheaper than the lovely one bedroom apartment I used to rent. The people here are old, very old, rich Republicans and they're dropping like flies.

I'll be passing through and what do you know, another estate sale, and like a vulture I descend. Picked up a $10 wooden wine rack at the last one.

There are perceptible differences in pixel density at different distances, which is why Apple keeps their phones and tablets at certain resolutions despite bargain android vendors trying to jam 4K displays into a 5" phone screen as some kind of coup de grace.

The fact of the matter is that you can only perceive x resolution at y distance.

In the lovely dark days of 2002, an SD signal blown up to 55" on a projection screen was big but it looked like poo poo because you were blowing up 320x240 to a massive size. People paid out the rear end for it because it was the best option they had.

Now HD at 55" looks fine at 10-15' because that's the best you can perceive.
