I agree the logistics industry wants it. Though I think there may be problems to be solved for autonomous deliveries outside of the driving aspect (that is, the driver does a lot more than just drive). So I wonder if it’ll pick up more if some of the other roadblocks for that are resolved…
There’s an ice cream parlor near me that makes a fantastic egg nog ice cream in house. Love this season.
I work in the automotive industry. I believe we could be there in 10 to 20 years, but I’m not convinced we will be there.
Specifically, because vehicle autonomy has been a big buzz word in the industry for a decade or so, and it’s starting to lose its zing. And when buzzwords lose their zing, the money dries up and the industry moves on.
Things like speed-adjusting cruise control and lane-keeping assistance, for example, are trivial to implement from a technological standpoint and don’t cost much to add. But they don’t show up in too many vehicles, because consumers stopped caring. I worked on a trailer backup assistance feature in a 2015 pickup that added zero production cost, but very few vehicles implement anything like that. Not because they’re not valuable features, but because the industry loses interest and moves on.
The automotive feature that boggles me most is 4-wheel steering (where the rear wheels can move about 10 degrees or so). I’ve driven a vehicle with this feature, and it’s an absolute game-changer. And it doesn’t cost that much to implement either. Too bad the big OEMs don’t care, because once you’ve driven one, you want it on every vehicle ever. Sigh.
End rant.
I mean, when you think about it, it’s just a battery-powered circular saw flipped upside-down. Not too crazy to consider like that.
Avocado, grapeseed, or coconut for high heat. Olive for dressings and marinades. Butter for flavored frying (eggs, rice, etc.). Olive for skin and herbal infusions. Argan for my daughter’s hair. Motor for the car. WD40 for squeaks.
One day we’ll find out that Danny DeVito passed away, and none of us will be ready for that. Fucking legend.
I would rather have them separately, to be honest.
My favorite lately: “you don’t want to get two birds stoned at once”
GOTTA GET SOME OF THAT CRISP WET, AROOOOOOO
That’s like saying the ocean is completely saturated with water. The internet is just cats.
Actually, something along the lines of Tales of Symphonia would be amazing. 2D fighting for the main gameplay element with an RPG-ish foundation and tons of great storytelling. I’d pre-order that.
The Italians had the sense to ask whether they should.
*sighs* haven’t heard that name in a long time…
I’ve never tried it, but does Krobus share the bed? I assumed they’d have their own in their special little spot. Or maybe they don’t sleep?
Adding snaps to Mint is a bit like adding a shot of espresso to a cup of decaf. You’re probably better just installing Ubuntu with Cinnamon as your DE.
I’ve been daily driving Linux for a few years. I’ve had exactly one (1) game that wouldn’t run because of anti-cheat, and dozens that run great. And the Steam deck gaining popularity is only making things better and easier.
If I see a headline that Elon is driving other companies’ cars into elephants to try to show how dangerous other cars are, I’ll have to check to see if it’s an onion article.
It probably won’t be.
General maneuverability is the main benefit. The back wheels more closely follow the front wheels, so for situations like a curved drive-through (curbs on both sides) or even just making turns on roads with narrow lanes, it’s easier to not clip the curb (or other vehicles) on the inside of your turn. And at high speeds, you can implement “crab walk” to make lane changes easier. It makes a big difference with towing as well.
