TESLA REMOTELY REMOVING FEATURES

[midlifecrisis]

I live with two pilots (not in that way) both are under 30, and the way they describe what they do makes you think I could do that, cos the plane does 99% of it.

Ahem..

 

[midlifecrisis]

Big brother cannot interfere with carburettors..


And by the looks of it, neither can I!

 

[Wanderer]

Ahem..

Was chatting with one of them straight as he'd returned from flying, asked him where he'd flown to that day and he gives into deep think mode, screwed his face up in thought and goes 'I can't remember!'

Landing and turning around in the dark at an airport guess they all merge to one.

Then he suddenly goes 'Barcelona!!!'

Was he wearing vest, holding a stick and showing a gap toothed grin, while standing next to handsome bigger lady ?

Sure is terrifying. This kind of technology will be with us by 2035, along with energy pulse weapons ( like Star Trek) which will replace conventional weapon systems. Unbelievable stuff coming.
Given the ability of the human race to develop such technology then you would think they could find the answer to global warming by designing CO2 scrubbers which take it out of the atmosphere.

I wonder how energy pulse weapon proof our 2 new £3Bn Aircraft carriers are.
Next question, would you fancy a job on the sacrifice ship that no doubt will be sailing around it if we go to war.
It seems like weapons are or will be available to easily sink such a large target.
Like the germans, build the ultimate ship then leave it in port because you're too worried about it getting sunk.

They’re part of Silicon Valley rather than Detroit and seem to follow the same model.

There’s an awful lot of people who bang on about Apple but they do very similar things, they’ve just been fined for artificially slowing down older devices, yet everyone seems to think they are saints. What’s the line? “The greatest trick the Devil played on the world is convincing it that he didn’t exist.”

 

[midlifecrisis]

Many pilots are glorified bus drivers these days, pick up, drop off, pick up drop off, and repeat. One was told me that he wasn't that glorified.

Having been the Supply Chain assessor on the Prince of Wales carrier build programme (in a previous life) I can certainly say that they are not sitting ducks. They are incredibly sophisticated pieces of kit, probably the most advanced carriers in the world ahead of the US Nimitz class carriers, although not quite as big. Which is why the US Navy would like some of their own if they could get them. So with the right fleet support and subs around them, then they should to do a first class job. Let's hope so because they cost enough!

Imagine the world we could live in if the defence budget of every country was zero

And there's Orwell's Floating Fortresses.....

Yeah.. but imagine how many millions of people around the world wouldnt have a job. And also imagine how much new technology developed on the back of these programmes, we wouldnt have.

Technology isn't the answer to everything , if I could go back to the simplicity of the 1970s and 80s I would, not the clothes though

The thing you’re probably using right now, the touch screen, was invented by the MOD research place in Malvern.

On the subject of Tesla’s.

Computer knows best? ....737 Max

Pilots were earning their pay over the weekend though!

Ryanair, not got them yet! Although I'm the only non-pilot, I'm doing some work for Aer Lingus, so I have slight superiority.
