That's what I figured you meant -

Oh, they will be GPS guided, just tell an Alexa where you want to go and push the big green "GO" button and she will do the rest.

OK, big open house tomorrow.

Be sure to air the house out real well (no cover up sprays).

Take the day off, take a drive, go out to eat lunch, come back after it's over and sign off on the offer - go back out and have some drinks -

Water is a potential problem. It's going to be the next BIG problem... And, of course, it's not available easily (maybe) everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I'm really intrigued by the potential.


I may be skewed, but I think all of it will continue to get better. When I started with R/C cars (ok, so that was nearly 30 years ago), it was 30 minutes to recharge a battery that'd move my car ~20mph for 4 minutes, if I was lucky.
Today, 30 minutes of charge gets you either a LOT more speed, a lot more time, or some pf eacj. And also so much less weight it's not funny. Granted, those batteries are slightly volatile...


That aside, totally agree that, for the time being, it's mostly viable only for urban dwellers. The upside is that high population density is where it helps on the emissions side of thing (air quality).


Electrics are a BLAST to drive though.

My only beef is that our monitors keyboards and mice are of typical low quality.

The monitors especially are just crappy TN panels which are so bad for our eyes. I've made the effort over the years to only buy S-PVA / IPS / OLED LCDs for personal use so I don't go blind.

So, you're a black hat hacker on the dark web ? -

Until one drops on your head. Can you imagine what it would be like if they could cut you off from any direction?

Meh. That is a fraction of my forum set up.

But the main byproduct of burning hydrogen is...water. The worst case scenario is it redistributes the water supplies in a different manner than they are now. California would get washed away.
It is the dihydrogen monoxide that you have to worry about since that stuff will kill you.

No just a truck driver behind the wheel of a bunch of these.

Everytime I see that service element out on the raise floor I wish they would just buy the ThinkPad line back from the Chinese and fix it.

How ironic that Tim Cook used to be the salesman of said laptops designed in 'Murica and engineered in Japan.

Now put them behind the wheels of all the cars on the highway.


Considering @humfrz excellent point, swarm tech. It'd be super cool even if you have no control.
