Yeah. It imposes a huge set of risks for leadership if that surveillance system is compromised.

Those have the same problem, but less concentrated ownership

Globally, the Chinese automakers are taking a huge chunk of market share.

They're effectively banned in the US, which is why you can't buy a decent car for $7000

For a lot of people, the main risk with a taxi is being attacked by the driver.

Not exactly; they've got a remote worker facility where they've got about 1 person per 100 cars, who maps out what to do in situations where the software can't handle it, but doesn't do a full-on remote-drive. This enables them to gracefully handle the long tail of situations the software can't do yet, so long as not every car hits it at once (as with, say, a power outage causing all traffic lights to fail in San Francisco, or flash flooding causing issues all over Phoenix)

Depends on whose. The Waymo ones do remarkably well. Other makers aren't nearly as good.

The guide starts with a very busy day on March 3 with elections all across Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas, plus a** mayor’s race in New Mexico**. On March 10, **Mississippi **has primaries, but also keep an eye on elections in Arizona, Georgia, and New Hampshire. Then, Louisiana has a legislative race on March 14, Illinois holds its primaries on March 17 alongside a Virginia special election, and California and Florida have local races on March 24.

March 3 is election day in many states. Primaries are often what determines who holds power, so if you can, make sure you vote.

General Motors, Ford and other established automakers risk becoming relics if they don’t catch up to Chinese carmakers and technology companies in electric vehicles and self-driving cars.

Environmentalists are challenging the EPA’s repeal of the “endangerment finding,” which empowered it to regulate greenhouse gases. Whether or not the action holds up in court, now is the time to develop climate strategies that can be pursued when the political balance shifts.

10 years sounds shockingly short. My impression is that the average car lasts about 20 years. Lots of older cars still on the road.

Not a chance of that happening. Too many groups in the mideast want to kill their neighbors or impose their version of religion on everybody else. Way more likely to end up with a bunch of places that have flipped oppressor and oppressed but are just as bad as they were

Maybe. Depends very much on how long-duration storage costs drop and what you actually pay for the nuclear power plant.

Per the article, they have a ton of investigations going. It's not just him

Sorry, but both CBS and CNN are now Republican outlets. So not going to happen. Especially when there is "limited fire and minor material damage" to the US embassy in Saudi Arabia

It's the country DA doing it because the police won't
