Actually: 1. None of the gasoline distribution and storage infrastructure is usable for hydrogen distribution and storage (hydrogen is either stored at super-low temperatures or under incredibly high pressure + it easily leaks from most storage containers and degrade many common materials) 2...

1. As if buying more batteries from suppliers (just like everyone else) was impossible... 2. Electric motors are already very efficient.

Teslas have a backup mechanical door release - so even if all electronics fail its possible to open cars front doors (unless cars structure is so compromised that jaws-of-life are needed).

This might get Epic into serious trouble in the EU since we have strict data protection regulations - taking data without users consent can result in an extremely high penalty (up to €50M or 4% of worldwide revenue - whichever is higher).

While we are at it, how about updating gas tax (accounting for about 20 years of inflation since the last update)? Oh, and extra tax to pay for negative effects of car emissions in cities on human health.

Well, Tesla will stop buying around 90 000 Nvidia Drive PX 2s in Q2 2019 when they switch to their own chips for Autopilot and since Nvidia Drive PX 2 is not exactly cheap, this will further hurt Nvidia revenue.

In early 2019 (likely end of Q1) Nvidia will also lose +-80K sales (per Q) of Nvidia Drive PX 2 when Tesla switches to its own ASIC for Autopilot. This will mean a loss of revenue of around $200M per Q.

Features are being added gradually (after all their cars are not self-driving yet) - Elon said that recognizing emergency vehicles (and appropriately reacting to them) will happen in a few months.

FYI: 1. After the recent update, Tesla cars are able to exit highway (at which point it will stop at the end of offramp and beep at the driver) 2. If he used cars navigation it would exit the highway either near its destination and stop at the end of the offramp or it would do the same near...

Only the police car that was behind him was driving in S pattern - and that was to make sure that other traffic won't complicate stopping his car.

I look forward to such idiotic companies being bankrupted by fines thanks to GDPR... If you cant keep personal info safe, you shouldn't store it...

This method is actually just an automated password guess machine - so its useless for phones with a limited number of attempts before data is erased. To unlock updated iPhone with a limited number of attempts before data is erased, you either need to find the code or pay $$$$$$$ for some...

Those loopholes are usually created by changes to laws that corporate lobbyists help put there - after making necessary campaign contributions...

That's what they get for constantly cheating on income taxes - if they paid income tax properly, nobody would be coming with these ideas...
