The Impossible' EmDrive Thruster Has Cleared Its First Credibility Hurdle - D-brief

There's a tremendous amount of focus on security and it's a huge issue but I think it'll end up being easier to hack vehicles by dropping a boulder off an overpass onto them. Somebody actually did that to my aunt and it was inches away from killing my cousin when he was a baby.

Yep, and that's just one of the many behavioral challenges that autonomous vehicles have to surmount to be production ready. And it's easy-mode in the US compared to other countries. In places like India motorcyclists can just be modeled via fluid dynamics given how little they observe any laws...

Motorcycles are a significant case that autonomy has to solve, but I expect that it's one of the many cases where autonomy will be able to track motorcycles with much better accuracy than human drivers will, even if it's a problematic case today for Tesla or whomever else. Motorcycles are tough...

Go fuck your strawman on your own then. Tesla making world-class vehicular CV and then switching to lidar once the lidar tech reaches new pinnacles is a totally worth endeavor and might even be a better long-term plan. Vehicular autonomy is always going to need amazing CV, so them pushing it...

So when you read: you saw me say "This is great and crazy, and I'm pretty pumped to see how far they get." you interpreted it as, "This is near impossible and they're retarded."?

I don't even know what point you're trying to make here, but when one spends a tremendous amount of effort trying to get structure from motion of objects in a mono-cam, it feels like cheating when one switches to a lidar like the velodyne above that just tells you what everything looks like in...

Well, it's not required persay. If it was we feeble humans and our addiction to the visible light spectrum wouldn't be able to drive. It does, however, make things a lot easier. The granddaddy vehicle lidar, the Velodyne HDL64-E produces a scan with 64 vertical layers. I believe the below is...

I don't really stand with the above skeptical posts, but I am a skeptic of the EMDrive and think that widespread systemic error from bad experimentation methodology is more likely than the EMDrive working. I think the way forward for the EMDrive is for them to attempt to improve the efficiency...

What's funny about the flat earth society is that it's a collective troll-job. There are some very well-educated people that support it and make the kind of arguments you could only make if you knew a lot about physics, ephemeris, space etc. And there are a lot of less-educated people who read...

daily mail has the best ads.

More of the same of what I linked above:

So, what's great and crazy about Tesla is they're trying to accomplish full scale autonomy without lidar, which is the foundational sensor for everyone else's perception. It's kind of like trying to be a raiding guild by using bards and rangers for tanking. Maybe it'll be as forward looking as...
