Hi All
Does anybody know when the patent(s) on reading speed signs that Mobile Eye holds will expire?
(These are possibly the reason why new Teslas are unable to read speed signs as it passes them).
I thought we had a thread on this but a search didn't turn one up and thought it deserved one. I don't normally read Seeking Alpha but saw this in Google's finance news regarding Telsa and wanted to update people about the patent status for Tesla on the semi's design.
According to the article...
Tesla patent reveals metal-air hybrid battery powertrain - AutoblogGreen
Sounds interesting. Looks like a good plan to enable the car to go 500+ miles. If they put this in the next gen model s I hope they make the metal-air pack removable so we won't have to lug around all that dead weight...
