Oh, are they privately owned? Or are they owned by the government, and used to keep tabs on citizens at all times? Wait, I forgot that the cornerstone of your justice system is "guilty, until proven innocent". See, here in the United States of Bailed Your Limey Imperialist Asses Out of Two...
So you're fine with constant state surveillance, so long as it's overt state surveillance. Got it. You know, 1984 was a cautionary tale, not an instructional guidebook :giggle: :facepalm:
EV's tend to fall flat at higher speeds because of their direct drive nature. Even a two-speed transmission would give them a lot more top end. Tell me you wouldn't love a pistol grip Hurst on a chunky 2-3 speed box.
Of course not. They're just monitoring you in your car:

Dead serious, what if someone made an EV with a proper manual transmission? Instead of direct drive to the wheels, hook the motor to a flywheel like an ICE drivetrain. Back in college I actually started designing an electric piston motor that was driven by coilguns. The idea was to have an...
I'm a crazy person who chases single-digit latency. It's like with how I feel about EV's. Unless the wireless is 1-to-1 with my fiber line, I'm not buying.
Yootoobist with credentials, got it :like:
I know who the fuck Dawkins is, ya Jabroni :giggle: :facepalm:
Very interested to see where this goes, but my concern is that they won't ever get the latency down low enough to be of interest to me. I hardline everything from input to output.
Had gigabit Fios up in Long Island. We move 20 minutes outside of Philly, and our upload is now 35Mbps. I'm having a Comcast fiber line built to the house for 500/500 service. Today is going to be rough because both my wife and I have video conferences, and it's snowing so EVERYONE is at home...
Sorry, not into youtoobists.
I'm concerned that EV infrastructure rollout will have the same problem as broadband internet. Rural/sparsely populated/low-income areas will be left under-served for years. At the same time regulators will constantly redefine the line of "success".
