Ironically this tech could be used to ease traffic by allowing cars to follow closely behind each other in road trains buuuuuuuut it won't be used for that so...

Oh I know but the average person just has a rock solid boner for being sat in their own little box in traffic whilst not actually wanting to be driving hence why modern cars all have so many driver aids and entertainment systems to jingle keys at them while they barely pay attention to where they're going  I would love for poo poo to get flipped upside down and public transport and micromobility to be the push but it ain't gonna happen which is why we have dumb poo poo like self driving cars being researched for enormous sums of cash instead of that money being invested in making the environment better and getting around easier.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:To create smart roads and the cars that would allow road centipedes would cost billions. Yeah but the costs from that forced obsolescence go to the end users, so the quarterly profit obsessed mega corps have less reason to oppose it. Or that's presumably the thinking. I'm not saying it's good, I'm just saying that the people proposing it didn't just forget about trains.

The world has only just come to an agreement about charging cables/ports for phones and it took multiple countries to say to the tech companies "lads, this is dumb, please stop" and even then Apple kicked off about it stunting innovation like you don't just charge your phone with the port... The car industry is far dumber.

That's a vast underestimating how bad car companies are at security IMO, let alone most car companies were busted selling personal data from cars without owner permission, they are gonna be selling every bit of any data they can get away with and thats always going to allow bad actors holes. We really need a "Read about an old car? Post about it here in the old car thread!" in AI because new cars so loving suck and the future is looking godawful

lmao. Previous employer...financial institution. Coworker was the Cisco-kid of networking. As in he really knew his stuff. We needed to create a few VPN tunnels with a major NA automaker. Now this guy was for various reasons would get stuff done along with maybe "not totally best practices" but still was usually safe and secure. Get it done type mentality. He was appalled at the overall visibility/exposure when given the peering for the tunnel config from the automaker. It was comedy central.

Catastrophe posted:Terrible car stuff I finally had to acknowledge and deal with, today: Headlight lenses. Might I recommend Cerakote's product for this? I was very impressed with how it worked, and supposedly the final coating is ceramic clearcoat, so should last for a good long while. I was explicitly looking for a kit with a clearcoat, since that's the only way you can get them to stay clear for any length of time, and I don't have on hand and didn't want to buy at this point an automotive 2K clear (which will definitely do the job.)  I show the process in my personal thread, but the capsule version is: it comes with a set of wipes, two sets of very and super fine sandpaper, and a set of wipes with the coating. You use half of each set of everything on each headlight. First wipes remove the remains of the old clearcoat and the top (crazed and yellowed) layer of plastic. Two rounds of sanding thoroughly with each grade of sandpaper to remove the last vestiges of yellowing and smooth everything out, then the coating both protects and makes glossy and clear. They even give you gloves (must be used - chemicals unfriendly to skin in use) and a grip for the sanding pads. B4:  During:  (I think this was first grade of sandpaper on the passenger side, and finer grade on the driver's) After:  Did that in January of this year. So far, so good. I also did the taillights where I repaired a common crack along the top with super glue. After sanding and coating (I just used the used items from the headlights), the cracks are largely unnoticeable.

I used the Sylvania kit on my Cayenne’s because screw paying $1200 for new ones. I’d never done it before; process is as previously described, results were excellent; just waiting to see how long it lasts VV in the event you are serious: I would absolutely gently caress it up that way.

Guys you can just buy sandpaper and a spray can of clear coat specifically designed for the task. All that cheaper than the kit, and it will last you a decade
