Arizona was whining about how much money they were spending on IDs and switched to a more difficult method for patients. The fact a PDF can be easily spoofed will lead to people getting denied, not easier access. Reminder this is the same state whose government sold its offices, then rented them back.

at least the wheels are still circles and not other shapes on constant width. I bet if Musk heard of those the car would be even more stupid.

Making a stiff, rigid car without crumple zones is a loving terrible idea. Then again I would not be surprised if Elon Musk isn't aware of the effect of sudden deceleration on your internal organs.

When you realize you forgot to do your homework and have to half-rear end it at the last minute on the school bus. That’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen. It’s actually less desirable than if the Homer were made in real life.

Are we 100% certain that this is not a bizarre, viral advertisement for a new cyberpunk game or movie? If someone had pulled out a pistol, shot the car, and taken out themselves or a bystander with the ricochet, this would fit perfectly in the television segments of the first Robocop. Every single thing about it screams 90s cyberpunk. The neon graffiti CYBERTRUCK logo, the pyrotechnics, the PS1 graphics looking vehicle, the lasers, the red hologram-looking performance specs. What is going on?

Yea...I think Elon was too heavily into the design of this thing. It's probably not going to sell very well. While I applaud the, um...boldness of going with such an angular design, it clearly looks unfinished. Design wise it feels like they tried to go with the sleek, future-perfect featureless chassis and simple overall forms. You can do this with cars, like the Honda e:  or Marc Newson's car:  ...but with both of these the forms are pleasing and look finished. I think it's probably due to the curvy nature of these designs. In contrast, the Cybertruck (cybertrk? cybertrukk? the text behind the thing is unreadable) has a ton of angular forms so that while it tries to have that same super-simplistic design, the angles make it look like a kid's drawing - unfinished, with a vague concept but without the thought necessary to make it a succesful design. This isn't even saying that adding adornment to the body panels would improve things - because I don't think it would, save for some intakes. The entire silhouette just feels wrong.  I think it's most heinous part is the wheel wells. The trapezoid look just...doesn't fit with the round wheels. I think the design could honestly be improved by 25% if they just rounded those off. Right now you have two very separate shapes clashing (trapezoid and circle) and it feels really disjointed, like someone didn't know how to draw a wheel well so they just kind of cut out a chunk. This could be massaged with some curves but again, the whole design feels half baked. From the side the profile and lines look exciting. The front half looks pretty cool, especially since it's a straight shot from the roof peak to the bumper since there's no engine - that's cool and shows this is an electric vehicle. But everything else just feels unfinished. That being said, we will probably see some changes before production. I noticed the truck didn't have mirrors, so I don't think it's road legal. I've heard someone mention cameras but I'm not sure if there's a legal framework for that yet. Just overall a disappointing design and presentation. EDIT: Someone on Reddit made this GIF and it helps a lot to illustrate my point;  It's not about all the angles - it's about the lack of attention to the small details that makes this feel awkward.

I think actually eliminating the external wheel wells and just having the bottom of the car continue along directly would have fixed that design and been in keeping with the cyber punk thing. Being Tesla they could happily have included some ridiculously, overly engineered motorised sliding door panel to permit access to the wheels. Wouldn't have fixed the look but it might have felt a little more coherent.

I've seen crazier looking concept cars, but yeah... needs a little work. Honestly I don't absolutely hate the angular stuff but that's not to say it's not ridiculous.

I think it'd be cool if they went more for an ATV look and completely exposed the wheels and hardware, pulling the fenders behind the wheels and turning the overall shape into a sort of pod look. EDIT: Someone on Reddit said this and I feel it as well; this isn't a pickup designed by or for someone who likes pickups. "Nobody is rolling up to a jobsite in this thing any time soon." - absolutely agree with this. Elon is obviously not a pickup guy, and it seems like he's the one that really pushed this design. He knows that people wouldn't like this with a car, that's why the Tesla looks relatively normal. Why did they go all out on this weird pickup design? Because he has no understanding of the market.

Looks like the NTSB is gonna help Uber throw the driver under the bus.quote:Last year, the NTSB's preliminary report found that the vehicle hadn't applied its brakes, that the Volvo's factory-installed crash avoidance system had been disconnected, and that while the Uber vehicle's autonomous system detected Herzberg before impact, the vehicle relied entirely on Vasquez to take emergency action.

ryonguy posted:Looks like the NTSB is gonna help Uber throw the driver under the bus. yeah i think that's actually fairly reasonable. uber, unlike tesla, does not pretend their self-driving cars are ready for consumer use and they are still in development. as a result, the human driver is being paid to monitor the car and interrupt it doing dangerous things. if the human driver is watching tv instead, that means the human driver decided to watch tv instead of perform their safety role. but that said, this is also a design flaw in that (a) obviously the car shouldn't be hitting people in the first place; but (b) less obviously, a safety system designed around a human paying attention for very long stretches of nothingness for the rare instances where they need to rapidly recognize the danger is a bad safety system. it's why tesla's autopilot is an active safety hazard. the reason that it's also on the driver as opposed to just a "look, this is asking too much of people" is that it's one thing to be bored and inattentive. it's another thing to actually be watching tv.

the NTSB report is pretty harsh on uber as well for failing to have oversight which would have not permitted the driver to have been distracted in the first place. like having two people in the car to keep each other accountablequote:The investigation identified the following safety issues: my read on the report is like "yeah the driver was not paying attention and should have been, and the jaywalker should have been paying more attention, but seriously yall these safety protocols are completely inadequate"

Yeah, don't give Uber too much credit, their system was absolutely not ready for live road testing yet they put it out there anyways. Something like an order of magnitude worse in terms of operator intervention requiring occurrences than other groups?
