Lots of projection.  He’s scared of the world at large because he spends so much time on the internet listening to other lonely men who are scared of the world, so he assumes that the world is dangerous and that other people should also be scared.

If one needed to defend oneself INSIDE a Cybertruck— better to keep a trench knife embedded in the dash or to use an AR-15 so the rounds penetrate and don’t ricochet if you miss?  
 

Elon hasn’t weighed in. Concerning.

Elon is the asshole who puts a round in the chamber INSIDE the armored vehicle.

Listen here, guy. 

 

On that Wifi thing - that sounds actually kind of useless for anyone. So you run a hot spot and drive around - people are in range for ... what 10 seconds? What are they going to do with that?

And on the bulletproof thing - WTF? Wasn't he selling that as being fully bulletproof and indestructible? Now it's been demoted to "subsonic rounds"? So Only useful to Health Insurance CEOs?

Yeah, sonic rounds are reserved for the CFO and CGO.

Elon. "well maybe that was a little too hard."

Um, that was a weak ass throw. Imagine some pissed off rioter throwing that. Or just an average HS Baseball player.

Bro, do you even Mac 11? In CQB specifically Cybertank, you gotta run a Cobray M11 with a bayonet. And if your not running a Streamlite and Trijicon MRO you might as well have NOOB tattooed on your forehead.

Bipod on Mac-11 right? And do you add the grenade launcher?

Bipod won't cross with the grenade launcher and in Cybertruck CQB best bet is a side mounted mini-stun gun. Just make sure you don't forget the bump stock and some hollow points with good knock down power. I'd suggest the XHeroMaga LeoMusk bullets with all brass core. That's what we used when I was in Seal Team 6.

If you told 20 year-old me that the world's richest man would spend large portions of his day hanging out on twitter and chatting with people, I would assume that twitter was some kind of 1-900 or 1-976 party line, and he'd be talking to people pretending to be supermodels or getting his fortune read, I would think "okay, that's a little weird, but the world's richest man could afford to hang out on a 1-900 or a 976 party line all day. He could probably even afford to hang out on The Sierra Network gaming setup all day" (I had to take a second job to pay for that shit, but I still love Sierra and you Ken and Roberta Williams).

But if you told me it was him typing messages to a lot of lonely men, Russians and AI-controlled bots, I'm picturing him on a BBS with a bunch of the older BBSers, a bunch of Yakhov Smirnovs, and things that sound like Dr. Sbaitso, or some weird-ass alt. usenet group.

This is what Honda has coming out.

The plan is to launch the 0 Series SUV and 0 Series "Saloon" sedan in North America in 2026, followed by global markets. Though still prototypes, the EVs will likely look similar to what Honda is showing today, perhaps with some minor tweaks plus various packages and trim options.

Honda will produce the 0 Series vehicles in Ohio, suggesting they would qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit, just like the Prologue. However, that's only if President-elect Donald Trump abandons plans to kill the credit when he returns to the White House later this month.

--

 

Honda says it wants to establish "global leadership" in Level 3 self-driving, which is a step above the Level 2 systems offered today by Tesla, Ford, GM, and others.

The key difference with Level 3 is the driver can take their hands off the wheel and look away—no constant attention and eye contact required. Mercedes is currently the only automaker with an approved, Level 3 system in the US.

"The vehicle will oversee driving, which will enable a human driver to perform a 'second task' while en route to their destination, whether watching a movie or remotely joining a meeting," Honda says. The "eyes-off" system will first be available on highways before expanding to "all driving situations."

But Honda isn't relying on Tesla to solve the EV-charging problem. It's teamed up with seven other automakers to create the IONNA charging network. It'll eventually offer 30,000 fast-charging stations in public areas by 2030. Combined with the roughly 18,000 Superchargers available to non-Teslas, plus other networks, Honda expects 0 Series drivers will have access to "more than 100,000 charging stations by 2030."

Honda views 0 Series cars as "virtual power plants." The cars can charge themselves at times when energy usage is lowest and sell back energy to the public power grid when electricity costs are high, "thereby wisely managing the entire household's electricity bill."

I don't think they know what subsonic ammo is.. bonus! 

For the record if there are any Cybertank owners on Surly, I'll supply the subsonic ammo, land and rifles for testing purposes. Hell, let me take a few shots and I'll throw a can on there so you can shoot it "silently".

That shit scares me, not because of the tech failing in and of itself. I work in tech and what end users can go to in order to create failures in technology is absolutely mind bottling. So much so that it's sometimes impossible to figure out what they did or how to fix it.

It’s a good teason why customer facing AI has and will continue to have so many issues.  Lotta dumbfucks out there that it’s truly hard to routinely plan for how they’re gonna dumbfuck next.

"Look at this self-driving car, huh?  You need to get yourself one of these.  Watch this, I'm going to grab the steering wheel and jerk it really hard towards that car pulling into the intersection, and my car will correct itself before we are in danger."

"Look at my new,new self-driving car.  You need to get yourself one of these, and by the way, I'm sorry about last time, and I'm glad insurance covered your bills, and that you are regaining feeling in your legs.  Okay, so there's no other cars around, just relax, but check this out, it drives great on snow and ice, and if you jerk the wheel, it'll self-correct.  Don't worry, there's no other cars around!"

I'll take those Hondas over anything Tesla makes though.  They don't look like they were designed by 12 year-old me in the 1980s after watching Jan-Michael Fucking Vincent and George Fucking Peppard in Damnation Alley.

Exactly, which is why there really is only one hope. (Remember humans program the self driving cars, that humans fuck up.)

The only self driving car I might take over a Honda, is a Toyoya, maybe. That said, I won't derail the Leon love here anymore with nerd chat other than to say I could tell you some stories about Japanese "AI", algorithms and engineering choices that.. well.. are not perfect either.
