Not so much the military but several police departments had put in orders, and Oracle's Public Safety unit has ported their law enforcement software.

DocM Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 It already has a 'Wade Mode: for crossing streams, etc. it pressurizes the battery to keep water out. 'Boat Mode' world would be epic. Probably use a trolling motor or small pump jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 https://electrek.co/2023/12/28/tesla-cybertruck-spotted-charging-rivian-r1t-electric-pickup Quote Tesla Cybertruck spotted charging a Rivian R1T electric pickup > Cybertruck is equipped with a 240-volt outlet in the back of the bed, which can power many different power tools and even charge other vehicles with a level 2 mobile charger. Now, a Cybertruck was spotted helping another electric vehicle charge in the wild for the first time. Kitty Adams Hoksbergen, Executive Director at Adopt A Charger, Inc., shared the picture, which reportedly came from the owner of the Rivian R1T ( via LinkedIn ) 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely you pasted something from the article then removed it and it kept the formatting... I loaded the page by browsing to the story, then copied the link using Chrome's tool. The image is just a frame grab. One thing mayn be that I'm set up for Android 13s Dark Node and Chrome automatically changes "white mold" pages to Dark Mode when they load. Not sure if that impacts the link, but it hasn't affected posts on other sites using this form software.

DocM Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) From the Electrek story a 17 year old kid was driving the Corolla. Other stories say it was a Tesla pre-production car, not the release versions. Police statement, Quote Our preliminary investigation indicates a Toyota Corolla was traveling south on SR-35 southbound, south of Page Mill Road, at an unknown speed, when the driver, for unknown reasons, turned to the right and subsequently struck a dirt embankment on the right shoulder. The Toyota then re-entered the roadway, crossed over the double yellow lines into the northbound lane, and crashed into a Tesla Cybertruck traveling north on SR-35 northbound.

Jaybonaut Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I'm curious how many 'pre-production' cars are allowed on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the YouTube video the driver was in Montana, Snow & Ice Central, driving with all terrain tires which are inadequate for those conditions.

Wait until you see the tail lights on the upcoming generation of self-driving vehicles. They won't just have red, and white backup lights, but also turquoise lights. Turquoise will signal other drivers and vehicles when a given vehicle is in autonomous mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People might not know what's being conveyed by that, but it's not confusing. On the CT, it seems like the smaller red bar and illuminated indicator lights means braking?
