  1. Yeah what was that about? I did a double take as I never heard LIDAR going for a ton of money. What IS the cost then? They don't have any radar which pisses me off. Radar is great for seeing things you cannot see. Like a car in front of the car in front of you suddenly stopping. Makes me mad they basically got rid of it. Basically ultrasound was it not? Either way being able to see through fog, heavy rain, and behind obstacles seems like a no brainer to make auto pilot safer than driving which is the entire goal. Not to make it perfect just much better.

  2. ​ @jimj2683 Everyone pro hydrogen skips the volume density problem. Like yeah I just love having my fuel take up most of the space in my car. Batteries have potential. No getting around the hydrogen density problem as far as I'm aware. Well maybe if one of those nano space magic materials which can carry more hydrogen then it can in pure liquid form. Like how water holds more hydrogen in it per volume then pure liquid hydrogen which is just mind blowing to me. To bad we couldn't separate the hydrogen from water very efficiently.

  3.  @bbb800  Think that would be inefficient and plus there will invetibly be choke points. What if one country literally destroys the power lines on their end.

  4. TSMC is nothing without ASLM. Not the other way around. ASLM is nothing without their suppliers in mostly Europe and America. I am sure there are more in Asia, but only one company who's name escapes me is important which is in Japan. Those suppliers for ASLM like Zeiss, and Tymer are Amongst others who are the best in their respective industries. America companies also are the ones designing the architecture for said chips. Is TSCM important? Yeah. They are four to five years ahead of their competition, but that is it. Others in the supply chain for certain parts are unique, and cannot be replaced period. Which may soon be moot with new technologies that may allow America and China to leap frog ahead. I can't remember the name of them.

  5. Why can't Singapore do other forms of renewable or do offshore wind and solar? Tidal?

  6. Oh you like carrying huge tanks for your fuel eh? I want to like hydrogen. Hydrogen volume density is such garbage. Even at 700 bars with 22 liters you get a measly 100 miles of range. Whoopty doo! Better with a fuel cell. Still I don't think there is much improvement there therotically either. Batteries are rapidly getting better. They have potential. Lithium Air which finally have been created will be a MAJIOR leap of ten to FIFTY times! We aren't there yet though, but solid state are now releasing. We will have longer lasting, more power, charge faster, and cheaper batteries. Personally I think hydrogen will be incredibly niche. Maybe for remote locations or something where they can make their own. Going from power plant > hydrogen refinery > shipping hydrogen with hydrogen > vehicle. Just doesn't make sense when you can go power plant > vehicle.
