In this post-apocalyptic scenario I think the range would be secondary to using the battery for day-to-day living. The RV could have solar and keep the battery topped off all the time.
Folks understand L1 and L5. The levels between are such a blur and mix-match of things that I don't think anything is even accomplished having these levels. I agree with you, from what I have seen Tesla is far ahead and rapidly progressing using the right approach of training NNs while having a human behind the wheel.
> Not until they reach parity of charging station with petrol station
One thing to remember is that all ICE cars need a gas station but not all EVs need a public charging station. I only use a charging station for long road trips the rest of my charging is done at home.
I would love to see re-certification of "professional" drivers. Almost daily I encounter taxi or semi-truck operators driving at the limit of what is acceptable.
Really liked the article in the first issue exploring the solar powered battery. Very cool to see something on solar power when it was just the start of a cool idea and knowing where it is today (seemingly also just the start).
I haven't tried Go programming. I really like all these alternate programming languages/tools coming to all these platforms. Very cool. So many things to learn, so little time.
However, I like Ruby. In that department, RubyMotion the popular iOS/Mac alternate programming toolset is coming to Android. Seems the floodgates of "use your language of choice" are opening...
If you are interested in alternate languages and tool sets for your development I'd give this a look. http://www.rubymotion.com
I hope the Americans don't use this as an excuse to stick with their old school system. I guess in one way they are closer to the Kingdom of England than us Canadians are.
I never considered this technology could be used during a disaster. That is a brilliant use case that could save lives. No phone, no power, trapped under rubble this could be your lifeline.
