Sounds like a job for a monorail.
I wouldn't exactly describe something as a 'trick' that effectively doubles your amount of sensor analysis to perform - and I could also imagine that keeping track of already detected objects for more than two temporal steps would be useful, f.ex. for getting some info on accelerating/braking cars/motorcycles.
Where I live here in the states it get's cold, but not "really" cold... down to single-digit temps (F) is about the worst.Not on the highway it doesn't.
A Texan that lived in Canada for over 25 years. (Admittedly not driving an EV during those years), so it's not as if I don't have first hand experience about those conditions (perhaps more than most Canadians due to the kind of job I had back then). And I've read other threads where people talk about their range experience in Canada (and by extension much of the northern U.S.).Then why did you object to my statement that cutting range in half for winter is not a realistic metric? It was a Texan making a matter-of-fact statement that "The first is trips--particularly trips up north in winter where the 400 mile range declines to a bit over 200." You know that that is not a realistic estimate of winter range loss, even in the coldest-winter places in the continental US.
I fully get why you want to emphasize winter range loss. And I agree! But do you also get why I don't want it overemphasized with unrealistic numbers?
BTW, another Texas coal-fired power plant closure:
Texas coal plant to shut down by 2020
That's five in three years.
My experience is that 3 hours is a very good time to stop for 15 minutes. 3 hours at 70 mph is 210 miles.
China's sliding auto sales may be obscuring a change in buyers' tastes
"For some in the industry, they say it will be the smartphone-like interface of the new vehicles that will really attract buyers. Those consumers are increasingly using internet-connected services such as food delivery for daily life, especially in China."
I think that this is a significant aspect of the modern car, in addition to the EV powertrain and autonomous abilities, and a major attractor for the modern tech savvy consumer. Basically, the whole "iPad on wheels" or smartcar aspect, where much of the car can be controlled and improved/upgraded by the carOS, and where users have greater control and interactions with their car via the carOS and smartphone companion app.
Tesla takes pole position on this dimension as well, in addition to its lead on the EV powertrain and autonomous abilities. While the legacy OEMs may be able to compete on the latter two dimensions, they will have a hard time on the software front without partnering with a big software company, like Google, Apple or Microsoft.
"Tesla short sellers are using a white nationalist meme to spread their FUD. You read that right. They're elevating the same kind of people responsible for the horrible tragedy in New Zealand, just to make money."
"Either TSLAQ have some white nationalists amongst them, or Russian bots. It's definitely used to spread nazi propaganda."

Saw a Reddit post of a short video by a Dane.
He argues Denmark SR+ sales should be through the roof.
The SR+ meets the criterion of EVs below DKK 400,000 ($61,000) to only pay 20% sales tax vs. 150% sales tax for a normal ICE. This should mean a $50k Model 3 is competing against $22k ICE economy cars.
My understanding is that no, it is never told about the 8 cameras. It learns what to output through machine learning.
The post you were responding to in this context was when @jerry33 said: " ...the 400 mile range declines to a bit over 200".There's nothing wrong for calling for accurate numbers. Pretending that "winter highway driving halves the range" when in the worst realistic driving case outside of extreme climates (Minnesota in the winter in -20F / -29C) you're actually getting the range 2/3rds (sub-300 vs. around 200) does nobody any favours. Two thirds is not one half.
The loss of range in cold weather absolutely should be discussed. It's a very significant factor to owners in places with cold winters - your 300-mile-car becomes a 200-mile-car in a Minnesota January. But it shouldn't be discussed with hyperbole - e.g. as though a 300-mile-car becomes a 150 mile car, or worse, that this happens in any below-freezing weather. Don't you agree that it's important to give accurate numbers?
Quaaludes in the coffee...just sayin'Well I have to disagree here. People seem to be in more of a hurry and generally more pissed off.
Now maybe the zen like state I am in(coupled with occasional bouts of G-force giddiness) when I drive my MS will change people....but I doubt it.
They sure are in Disneyworld!I hear those things are awfully loud!
Given that virtually every person I talk to at shows says 400 or more miles is required (e.g. I want to drive from Dallas to Houston without stopping. 85 mph speed limit, mostly driving 90-95 mph--and that doesn't mean arriving in Houston with zero miles) before an EV is a considerations, I'd say that it's pretty important use of resources. EVtripplanner indicates that in an LR M3 you'll use 350 rated miles for this kind of trip and 425 rated miles in my S85.But where are Tesla's limited resources better allocated?

If you are striving for accuracy, you missed the "a bit over" part.
Several folks here, myself included, have experience where 40% loss in highway winter driving can happen... 240 is in the ballpark of his claim. Toss in a couple of stop/starts, and just over 200 is entirely accurate (you were the one that added the highway qualifier, not him).
