Same here. Got a 2017 Model S. Only wiper fluid and tires and had to change out break disks in the front but besides that, nothing.

I own a 2017 Model S and the maintenance cost over these 6 years has been 1000 USD (change brake calipers at the end of year 6). For EV owners it’s definitely lower but damage collision repairs are probably more expensive.

Ehh .. this is a very preliminary paper in a small journal and medical devices have to undergo rigorous clinical testing before being used in clinical settings. If this will ever be clinically available, it will probably take at least 7 - 10 years.

Wait what, SuperCruise better then AP? Any sources?

Starlink is presumed to be the main moneymaker which could justify a much higher valuation than 100B if their plans pan out

As well as software execution. You can see queue times for superchargers, how many stalls are out of order etc, all on the map in each Tesla which is very convenient when on a roadtrip

You meant March 2016? I would not call that recent in the self-driving vehicle world

Interesting, did not know this. Any links / sources on ongoing trials?

No, they still use following cars and remote assistance

Exactly. This is long haul trucking we are talking about, not the typical FedEx van.

I live in Norway and I can tell you, 300 km will not suffice. The thing is, when you have other trucks on the market with more range (e.g. Tesla-Semi), and likely, much better charging infrastructure, why would you go with Volvo?

Volvo has a way to go if they want to compete in this market.

Noise wont have any effect as it is not government regulated. A buyer of Semis wont think twice about noice if $ / km is lower.

If that’s the case, they’ll make a single 300 km trip or day. I doubt that the business case for that is strong. With autonomous Semis on the horizon, the potential reduction in costs with the scaling of hauling in km / day will drive costs down. 300 km a day won’t be competitive in that space.

For a buyer of semis, the cost of running one is arguably the most important factor. Producers need to focus on $ / km and there range is quite important (as well as charging infrastructure)

The weird exterior many electric cars have is to lower the drag coefficient to increase range. This is especially true for Semis as they have a notoriously bad drag coefficient. The range for the Volvo trucks could be up to 300 km as stated in the article, that is okay for some haul distances but you need serious charging infrastructure if you are going to be charging a Semi every 250 - 300 km. These trucks will probably need 0.8 - 1 MWh batteries.

The Cybertruck will be a beast to see on the road. I love the look.

lol

Can anyone point me to peer-reviewed studies of this system? They state they are #1 according to scientific validation("peer-reviewed scientific publications comparing up to 107 solutions worldwide where Symptoma clearly ranked as #1.") but I can't find anything online or on their website on the performance or architecture of this system.

I think it's also a matter of expectation. People expecting conscious thinking machines with reasoning abilities are going to be disappointed but that doesn't mean AI as a field is useless and a big hoax. There are plenty of narrow problems where we can benefit from the use of AI. I am an MD and I see a lot of use cases of AI based technology in the future within the medical field though it needs more co-work between AI researchers and medical researchers. Good quality scientific validation of these systems needs to take place and that will take some time.

Precicely this scenario you are describing is in the owners manual that comes with the car.
