    Various countries are claiming that they have enough natural hydrogen to last several hundreds years at current level of consumption. That begs the question why they don't do anything about extracting it instead of drilling for oil. I guess it comes down to our capitalism. Quickest way to profit

    Some cars like the Aito M5 has an internal camera to watch the driver. Face recognition to automatically set the environment parameters and eye movements tell the system that you are alert.

    I don't mind driving in town but foresee the day I may fall asleep at the wheel on a motorway or drive in a dark night with heavy rain and fog.

    I am pretty sure that the collision avoidance systems will stop the car in time because it will detect the movement of other vehicles and pedestrians faster than humans. After detection, humans need at least 0.5 sec to react. Computers much less.

    I watched last night a yt video of a bunch of robots training another robot. The lesson is simple: Pick boxes from some shelf and deposit them on a conveyor belt. The student robot learns by watching other robots do the job. After a short few minutes, it has figured out the purpose of the job...

    Fold up trike conversion kit ?

    The R32 has a very narrow front hub, so ruling out a front hub motor. It also has a 5-speed rear hub, so ruling out a rear hub motor. A middle motor will stop the fold. On top of those challenges, it's heavy. Maybe a roller motor? As saneagle said, it's a jiob for a specialist, not an off the...

    When Tesla rolled out hardware 3.0 to replace hardware 2.5, performance of 3.0 is about 100 times faster than 2.5. Tesla is rolling out hardware 4. Hardware 4 is 3 times faster than 3.0 and the new fsd hardware now has better cameras and a radar too. I watched a demo of the Chinese aito m5...

    What you see as current deficiency is the limited number of algorithms. The problem is similar to language comprehension. I can post sone yt videos to illustrate how well google AI understands humans telling jokes in ordinary video conversations. They are being added over time. AI chess bots...

    The video on the Verge website is last year. This latestest release was earlier this week. I'll dig out the video for you. There is still a lot to do but progress is pretty rapid. I did like the way it handles road bumps and parkings.

    but we already have a better way of dealing with pollution, electric cars and buses. There is no real need for hydrogen, especially when most of it is still produced from natural gas. The only way that hydrogen is justified is when it's a by-product like in nuclear reactors. Even then, it would...

    You need 40kwh to produce 1kg of hydrogen. 1kg of hydrogen generates 20kwh in your fuel cell. Hydrogen is at least 100% more expensive than battery. Battery gravimetric capacity can be improved up to 5 times current level, so hydrogen cannot compete for the foreseeable future.

    he can't say anything other than Russia will be a constant and present danger to its neighbours, more so those with a large Russian population like his own country. However, Putin is so different to Gorbachev and Yetsin, so there is no reason to think that change can't or won't happen. I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BBCQT last night was interesting. The audience (Maidenhead) is supposed to reflect the shares of votes, so preprominantly conservatives. I felt a little sorry for Lautra Trott having to defend her goverment with the occasional support from GBNews/Telegraph Camilla Tominey. The most interesting...

    I guess you are a higher rate taxpayer. you get your tax saving with every C2W scheme. With a £1500 C2W hub bike, you'd pay about £650-£750. Even if you add £150 extra charge, it's still well below your £1500 budget.

    The Cube Touring Hybrid Pro 625 2024 is a sensible choice but at £2699 it is rather pricey in the context of cycle to work. You still pay for it, albeit at C2W rate and you still have to maintain it. For cycle to work, you can't really beat a hub bike. There is little or no maintenance with hub...
