> Upon arrival in Belize, the couple were met with protests from villagers over a land dispute involving a charity William is a patron of. In Jamaica, the prime minister told them in an awkward meeting that the country would be “moving on” to become a republic, and a government committee in the Bahamas urged the royals to issue “a full and formal apology for their crimes against humanity”.
...economics of developing a Level Four AV — something Niedermeyer says automakers like Ford and VW are only now realizing may not pencil out for them, even if many believe the tech itself is within reach.
Because the Level Four vehicles undergoing testing today tend to be covered in “hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sensors” — and, because, by their nature, they operate only in limited roadway scenarios, like a fully driverless bus on a dedicated bus lane — Niedermeyer says the most logical applications for them would probably subtract vehicles from the road, yielding an “urbanist’s dream” of reduced car dependence but cutting into automaker profit margins.
The so-far-mythical Level Five AV, though, could operate anywhere without any human help, and supercharge the private vehicle market in a way never seen before — but the industry is growing increasingly less optimistic that it will exist anytime soon. https://usa.streetsblog.org/2022/11/02/why-the-argo-shut-down-is-a-bad-sign-for-americas-av-future/
「革命」は、現在テスラのみが実現可能と宣伝し、実際には危険な運転をやりかねない装置を米国の公道で顧客に試させて、実現への期待を煽っている「レベル５」自動運転の実現。そしてその結果もたらされる総自動車販売数の減少ないし個人の自動車所有の終焉だよ。
テスラが「革命」なんて考えてる？
顧客が欲しいのは電動化と自動運転化。電動化は安いが２０年持つようなものは高い。自動化は見てくれ「自動運転」は安くできるが、実現可能性が高い、安全な制限付き「自動運転」は高い。
テスラは、電動化では技術があるが、自動運転ではマインドコントロールされた状態でないと信じれないレベル。
でもカルト宗教に建国されたアメリカだから、無問題。
トヨタ？
自動運転の各種センサー等ハードだけでなく、自動運転プログラムのソフトの品質チェックも問題になる。
テスラがやってることをトヨタやBYDがやってたら今頃米国下院委員会前で号泣させられてらｗ
> A landmark report in 2021 found that members of the Catholic clergy in France sexually abused an estimated 216,000 minors over the past seven decades and that the Church prioritized the protection of the institution over survivors who were urged to stay silent.
