Love Elon, SpaceX and Tesla.
I have a Prius as my intro into hybrids/electrics. Would like a Tesla car or truck just not ready for the plunge yet.
I’m a HW/SW Engineer, semi-retired but still a smart, active and inquisitive Maker/inventor type.
That’s why Elon is my “hero” so to speak.
He’s doing SOME of the things I always wanted to do but I’m also doing other things like Generalized AI/robotics (kinda like Tesla-self-drive on steroids) but more autonomous in a robotic chasis that “could” someday drive a normal car and not be built in as PART OF a self-driving car and also not requiring separate vision systems, as are already built into a robot chasis.
Generalized AI for all sorts of applications not just driving a car which would be a specialized AI.
I like 3D Printing all sorts of things from whimsical items just for fun to parts for my NUMEROUS projects.
In my professional career I had to manage 16-20 projects simultaneously so I’m used to juggling lots of interests, hobbies and businesses at once.
OK, that’s me in a nutshell. There’s more but that will do as an intro.
If I bought a Tesla, I would want to give it a TRUE AI which would probably void my warranty the first DAY. LOL.
So I’m waiting for the self-drive to be able to drive the WHOLE trip across country while I sit back and work on refining a Project or 16 during a trip to Washington, the Grand Canyon or wherever without supervision every 30-minutes or so as I’ve seen on TV and YouTube reviews and documentaries.
OK, NOW I’m really done.
