4 Killed When Tesla Slams Head On Into A Truck

has nothing to do with the story

 

From the article linked below:

Tesla, like many automakers, already implemented motors and actuators for drive controls in order to implement its Autopilot assisted driving features, but it still has a mechanical link to its steering system.
However, many markets still require mechanical linkages in steering systems in order for a vehicle to be road legal.

Tesla is looking to move to steer-by-wire with new motor and geartrain team in Austin

 

semantics, tomato, tow-mah-tow.....

just saying, about the nano second, no need to get all scientific about it and show off your Timex watch.

 

still fighting the ford pinto, chevrolet corvair, and hover boards.

 

Nah. More like a 1980’s Casio C-801.

 

They debunked that. That commercial was done by a rival company and they tricked the Tesla.

 

Delete.

 

Didn't mean it as a critique. I was an electronics guy for 15 years and doing that kind of work, huge difference between a nanosecond (1 millionth of a second) and a millisecond (1 thousandth of a second). And, I don't wear a watch! Never have. Went on a fishing trip with my Dad many years ago for a weekend. He forgot his watch and we had nothing to tell us what time it was (pre cellphone days). Drove him crazy not knowing what time it was and gave me much to chuckle about. I told my Dad, why do we need to know what time it is? We wake up in the morning, go fishing until it gets too warm, come back to camp, eat and relax a bit. Go back out fishing till it starts to get dark and come back to camp. Eat again, go to sleep and repeat.
Anyway, my Dad passed about 5 years or so ago and that fishing trip has many fond memories. Your comment about the watch reminded me of the trip! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Miss my Dad.

 

never wear or wore a watch..??

now that's funny right there, i don't care who you are....

case in point...decades ago, when i worked as a mechanic, i went looking for a new job.

the owner was not available, only a gal in the office, may have been his wife, or G/F i could care less at the time.....

i was looking at MY watch and the clock on the all, comparing times, as watches lose time, from time to time.

anyway's the gal said that "so & so, does not like clock watchers"...

i said, "is that a fact"?

i kept looking at my watch, and i never filled out the application after i jotted down my name, cuz she took the time to annoy me about watching my watch and the wall clock.

i folded over the application, and walked out, and told her, "i haven't any more time to wait for him to have the time to talk with me, i already lost time i cannot get back"

'bout maybe 1 year later, i actually met the guy, he came to a garage i had gotten a job at, after i left his office.

says to me, "you look familiar, but i can't place it"

i told him i had "heard" that he did not like clock watchers.....

he said, "yeah, how'd you hear about that"...

i said, "well i ain't got the time to tell you, it's my lunch break, come back in about 1 year, and i'll tell you"...

then he said..."dang it, you're that guy, my wife told me about".....

"yup, and the clock on the wall is telling me, you're outta time to talk to me".....

his garage went out of business......he was actually there, looking for a job interview, as a manager, which that was ME...!!!!!
