Moist von Lipwig posted:is there even any net gain on EVs if the charging comes from poo poo sources like coal? I could see transmission loss wiping it out entirely or even making it a net negative. yes, coal plants produce excess power overnight when charging typically occurs and capturing that and dumping it in to a battery means effectively no net new emissions from running your car. grid balance is going to vary wildly depending on your location though

ol musky has turned on his #1 supporter. granted, he is right that fred has actually posted negative articles in the recent past since they made the referral program garbage. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1120820597347377152

iospace posted:Friendly reminder that California came out and said that going to EVs isn't going to help air pollution as much as people think it will, because cars still kick up particulate matter from the roads. which reminds me, since that chart showed that heavier vehicles damage the road to the 4th power compared to light vehicles, buses damage the road 400x more than "the average car." therefore buses (and mass transit in general) is actually bad. this is now my gimmick. this is my origin story. have a nice day.

apparently tesla has stopped official autonomous driving testing in california since state law requires an annual report of system disengagement. waymo's 2018 report has them at about 1 disengagement per 11000 miles driven, gm's is around 5000 miles. tesla's last report with actual numbers was 2016 when they had 1 disengagement per 3 miles another day another autopilot crash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWaz2jer8Ek&t=134s Endless Mike fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Apr 24, 2019 |

Glad to know I get to share the road with these things. the first time i’d ridden in one of uber’s self-driving cars it was like this. just a few months later it was much smoother and almost human. good to know tesla is worse than where uber was years ago especially considering uber has given up on testing on public roads.

hobbesmaster posted:i feel like theres a lesson about underdamped control systems here according to the description and comments, the driver took back control by turning the wheel when they realized the autopilot was gonna send them off the cliff when they turned the wheel, the car turned off autopilot...and helpfully turned the regular cruise control back on, to whatever speed it had been set to before autopilot was engaged, which was faster than the speed autopilot had been driving at the driver, unprepared for the unexpected acceleration, overcorrected steered it into the cliff
