WE won't see Musk drive prices down. He'll be pioneering other big things (like autonomous cars!).

Cool. I hope in ~15 years we see budget-price electric cars for $10k.

I'd lose easily. If your argument is, "The cost of electric vehicles will greatly diminish as a result of commoditization, as the floor is extremely small due to the simplicity of an electric powertrain vs a gasoline one." that's true and I don't think anyone who knows vehicles will disagree...

Zapatta, what do you do for a living?

I know and it'll be awesome.

What expertise do you have in automotive supply chains and commodization?

This is the coolest thing ever. I'd love to see how far they're stretching the energy cost of moving a 10lbs package a few miles.

lol @ calling the Tesla price tag outrageous. They deployed the first decent system + infrastructure to support it and massively dropped the price.

Yeah they seem to be pretty tight lipped about it, but here's their car: Pretty standard looking setup. Two velodyne HDL32s on top, looks like a dual antenna GPS receiver, some cameras and radar. Not sure how I feel about GM's approach of just buying an autonomy group for 1 billion vs Ford's...

Sorry for my bad interpretation, but are you saying you work on the autonomous software? Or you make software that isn't onboard?

Gotta be a sweet future for bikers when enough autonomous cars are on the road that they can just lane split quickly through traffic that splits apart like the Red sea for Moses. I have no doubt that it'll be easy for autonomous vehicles to be more friendly to motorcycles than human drivers...

Yep. One second is probably like, 100-1000 iterations of their control system. My control systems have checks for a single iteration being goofy, and any kind of jitter is very noticeable and tracked down very seriously. If one iteration of totally wrong feedback is a weird twitch in your...

It's a good opportunity for people who aren't sure if they want to curate museums or develop games.

EQ VR would be terrible, it's too UI based.

Yes. Casually. It's actually a lot of fun.

For EQ at least, there's no reason they can't treat it like a cash cow indefinitely and just have a minimal dev team making minimal amounts of content. There's no need to try and revitalize the game, it's doing fine for what it is, and there's no excuse for it to not be revenue positive. DBG...

People are generally happy with it. There's some issues here and there, but the content is not buggy, good and enough to progress through. There's enough to do for a month or two casually. The massive number of fairly diluted and uninteresting AAs is daunting. For some classes there aren't that...

Next Big Future: Cannae will try to prove propellentless propulsion in space in 2017 and has ambitious space probe designs with 33 years of constant acceleration to reach 3% of lightspeed I'll take an avatar bet with anyone that Cannae will never launch a Cannae drive-driven space probe.
