USE GREY WATER TO FLUSH RV TOILETS Ok, this idea will make no sense to those who have not gone RV camping. RVs have 3 water tanks -- one for fresh water, one for the toilet sewage (known as "black water") and one for the other drains (shower, sinks) known as "grey water."

COMPARING ELECTRICITY TO A GALLON OF GASOLINE This is a pretty reasonable comparison. At the national average of 11 cents/kwh, the 320 watt-hours/mile of the Leaf is about 3.5 cents/mile. That's pretty good and about 85 miles for the cost of a $3 gallon of gasoline. Electricity is cheaper than gasoline, no doubt. THE DECLINE OF BLOGGING, AND WHAT REPLACES IT?

See analysis of that at this new Forbes site article: Teslas with LIDARs and no radar -- it's not what you think. AUTOMATIC RETRACTING PEN I put pens in my pockets. However, sometimes I put them in without caps, or I put in retractable pens without retracting them to keep the tip inside.

CAMERA MOUNTING -- BEYOND THE TRIPOID SCREW AND DOVETAIL For many decades, cameras have come with a machine screw socket (1/4"-20) in the bottom to mount them on a tripod. This is slow to use and easy to get loose, so most photographers prefer to use a quick-release plate system. You screw a plate on the camera, and your tripod head has a clamp to hold those plates. The plates are ideally custom made so they grip an edge on the HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM PUTTING WIDESCREEN TVS IN STRETCH It is presumably for those people that the TVs are set this way. For broadcast signals, a TV should be able to figure out the aspect ratio.

As such, as we all know, the sound GUIDE TO A MEETING ROOM BASED VIDEOCONFERENCE WITH SKYPE If you're going to have a meeting with people in a meeting room and one or more people calling in remotely, I recommend trying to have a remote multi-party video call, or at the very least a high-fidelity audio call, and avoid the traditional use of a phone conference bridge to a speakerphone on the meeting room table. The reality is the remote people never feel part of the meeting, and no WANTED -- WEBCAMS EMBEDDED IN SMALL SCREENS FOR PERFECT A 7" screen like this one, only $45 and meant for Raspberry Pi and other computers, could be modified with a small hole at the blue dot where a webcam would be mounted, powering it all with USB 3. We're all doing lots of video-calling, and we're going to continue to do it, even after the pandemic ends. Because of that, every decent quality webcam has been sold out or doubled in price for SEMI-SECRET BALLOT COULD BE GOOD FOR IMPEACHMENT VOTES Most votes in legislatures are done by open ballot, often by calling of the rolls. Everybody's vote is very public. Since legislators work for us, it is important we know how they vote. At the same time, secret ballots have a lot of virtues. People can vote their true intention, without fear of reprisals for their vote. Legislators are *supposed* to fear reprisal from their INCREASING VOTER TURNOUT WITH COMPULSORY VOTING AND (GASP Earlier this year, I started a series on fixing U.S. democracy.Today let me look at the problem I identified as #3: Voter turnout and the excessive power of GOTV.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM PUTTING WIDESCREEN TVS IN STRETCH A couple years ago I delivered Chinese food to help get through the winter.

WAYMO VS. UBER VS. TESLA VS. AMAZON VS. OTHERS: WHO WILL SELL YOU YOURROBOTAXI RIDE?
Submitted by brad on Tue, 2020-12-08 14:08 So which app will you open to call a ride in the robotaxi world? Uber now will link with Aurora -- but is Uber's position in the ride-selling world unassailable? Will Waymo/Google, Cruise, Amazon/Zoox, Tesla or others win the day? I look at competitive factors in the race to replace selling cars with selling rides.Topic:

UBER ATG AND AURORA MERGE TO STAGGERING $10B VALUATION Submitted by brad on Mon, 2020-12-07 16:34 Uber's self-driving unit (ATG) has been merged/sold to Aurora, a high flying startup with a combined valuation of $10B, but a big drop for Uber and climb for Aurora. I outline the odd nature of the deal in this new article as the robocar news just keeps on coming. It's notwinter any more.

AMAZON/ZOOX CUSTOM VEHICLE DESIGN REVEALED EARLY AND LEAKS SOMEDETAILS
Submitted by brad on Mon, 2020-12-07 06:19 Reddit user Lakailb87 caught the new Zoox vehicle on the streets ofSan Francisco
Zoox (now a unit of Amazon) has been secretive about their custom vehicle design, with a reveal set for Dec 12. It was photographed out in the wild yesterday, though, so I have written a new Forbes site column about their design -- similar to a few others, but with diferent LIDAR design and other goodies.Topic:

WE SHOULD RETHINK THE ETHICS OF VACCINE CHALLENGE TESTS TO BE MORE LIKE THOSE OF A BATTLE Submitted by brad on Sat, 2020-12-05 15:44 As vaccine approval nears, you've no doubt heard proposals to speed up vaccine testing with what is known as a "challenge" trial, where you deliberately infect volunteers with the virus. This approach is controversial, but has been around for some time. There are already organizations collecting volunteers, and tens of thousands have signedup.

AUTOX BEGINS NO-SAFETY-DRIVER TAXI PILOT IN SHENZEN Submitted by brad on Thu, 2020-12-03 17:19 It's only with special guests and staff, but AutoX has followed Waymo in starting a robotaxi service with no safety drivers on board, with all 25 of their vehicles in Shenzen. It means they are getting very confident in their system. Read more details in a new Forbes site piece at AutoX begins no-safety-driver taxi pilot in ShenzenTopic:

WHEN ROBOCARS MUST BE PERFECT, AND WHEN THEY NEED NOT BE Submitted by brad on Mon, 2020-11-30 12:06 A recent Waymo tester has been challenging Waymo cars to pick him up in unusual pickup spots. Some of the times, the problem is probably being solved by a remote human operator giving advice to the car. What many do not understand is that this is not a flaw, but probably the simplest and cheapest way to solve the problem. Read more at When robocars must be perfect, and when they need not beTopic:

CHEAP, FAST, SURPRISINGLY GOOD COVID TESTING USING SCRATCH-N-SNIFF Submitted by brad on Wed, 2020-11-25 14:59 It occurred to me, learning that 80% of Covid infected patients lose their sense of smell (Anosmia) that it should be possible to build the cheapest and most effective Covid screener (for use at entrances to schools/airports/buildings/restaurants) with a simple "scratch-n-sniff" card. These cards, which cost pennies, would come with a set of scratch squares, and under each would be boxes with the names of possible scents. A QR code would (encrypted) have the answer. You sniff, check the boxes and then a phone or other device scans youranswer.

MERCEDES "AUTOMATED VALET PARKING" DISAPPOINTS Submitted by brad on Mon, 2020-11-23 09:29 Promised for years, you can finally do automated valet parking if you have a 2021 Mercedes S class and park in one garage at Stuttgart airport. First demonstrated at Stanford in 2009, this feature is long overdue, and this implementation is quite disappointing, doing little more than save the driver a few minutes of walking. I go into the details of what robotic parking could and should do, even today in a new article on Forbes.com at:Topic:

PREVENTING THE CHAOS OF SUPER-CLOSE ELECTIONS Submitted by brad on Fri, 2020-11-13 10:56 When elections are close, they get chaotic. If the flip of a single vote, at the tie-point, can cause a massive change, like who runs a country, things can go nuts. People will do everything, from legal battles all the way up to the supreme court, to voter suppression, to voter fraud, to fake claims of voter fraud, all to move the needle a tiny bit around that tipping point.Topic:

HONDA TO SHIP "TRAFFIC JAM PILOT" WITHIN 5 MONTHS -- LIMITED FULL SELF-DRIVE IN A CONSUMER CAR Submitted by brad on Wed, 2020-11-11 13:50 Honda has announced they have approval for, and will ship a "Traffic Jam Pilot" in the Honda Legend by March 2021. This is a big deal because one of the key differences between driver assist (like Tesla "full" self driving) and a robocar is whether the car takes responsibility. While they will call it level 3, level 3 doesn't really exist. This is a self-driving car for a specific problem area -traffic jams.

GIG-DRIVE COMPANIES WIN FIGHT TO NOT MAKE DRIVERS EMPLOYEES -- WHATDOES THAT MEAN?
Submitted by brad on Fri, 2020-11-06 15:07 While we've all been obsessed with the big elections, some notable news in California, where a corporate sponsored bill to reverse California AB5 on gig-drivers passed. AB5 would have required drivers for companies like Uber to be employees and not contractors. What would Uber have done if it had not passed, or what can they do if an employee rule passes somewhere else? I discuss these issues in a new story on Forbes.com:Topic:

NEW WAYMO DATA SHOWS SUPERHUMAN SAFETY -- THEY'RE READY Submitted by brad on Fri, 2020-10-30 08:53 Waymo collision detail. In what is perhaps the robocar story of the year, Waymo has released a detailed safety report which shows 6.1 million miles of driving with no at-fault accidents and even a low number of not-at-fault ones. It is now past time for them to deploy a real service. In addition, this throws down the gauntlet at all other companies to be transparent withdata.

NEW CHART OF TESLA AUTOPILOT SAFETY RECORD Submitted by brad on Wed, 2020-10-28 11:08 Tesla released the latest safety numbers for the 3rd quarter. I decided to put all the numbers on a chart, but corrected for the fact that Autopilot is used almost exclusively on freeways, while non-Autopilot use is a 40-60 mix. The result is that Autopilot and non-Autopilot safety are fairly similar, with Autopilot maybe slightlyworse.

SELF-DRIVING CARS CAN USE GAME THEORY TO GENERATE A BETTER VEHICLE CODE AND COOPERATIVE ROAD Submitted by brad on Tue, 2020-10-27 10:28 Traffic jams with selfish drivers could become a thing of the past. The rise of self-driving cars offers the potential for an entirely new way of regulating vehicles. First, because you can get all the "drivers" of self-driving cars in a room, rules of the road can be quickly negotiated and settled directly, and adhered to robotically, rather than writing complex sets of regulations.Topic:

TESLA NETWORK OUTAGE REVEALS CHALLENGES OF CONNECTED VEHICLES Submitted by brad on Mon, 2020-10-19 12:15 Recently Tesla had a network outage which caused a very small number of customers to be unable to authenticate payment at superchargers -- and thus be stranded unable to charge. Due to the larger outage, they could not put in a new credit card either. (The system lost their working cards, they did not have bad cards.) While it seems only a few were affected, it shows the challenge of having anything critical depend on a network that might go down.Topic:

WE NEED APPS THAT COULD PREVENT BALLOT MISTAKES AND SPOILAGE Submitted by brad on Tue, 2020-10-13 11:40 As the USA moves to more mail-in voting -- and more efforts at voter suppression by strict enforcement of ballot spoilage rules rather than lax enforcement when the intent of the voter is clear, it seems that some apps and tools could do things to reduce that.Topic:
