Traffic fines are made to bankrupt drivers or to finance the state, but to encourage people to drive safely.

Yeah that really depends on location…in Denmark the minimum fine for speeding is 160€, and that’s if you’re just more than 3kmph above limit…it just increases from there and ends with something like a 1000€ fine and them withdrawing your drivers licence (a new licence is going to set you back 2000€). If you’re above 100% speeding the take the car too.

That’s not going to be enough…the dude claimed “coast to coast” autonomous driving capabilities “by end of the year” back in 2016.

…Until they suddenly don’t anymore

There are charging stations with 40 chargers delivering +200kW each, they’re powered by HV lines directly to transformers located at the charging stations. But most (all?) BEVs are only near max charging power for a fairly short period of time, and full occupation is also not seen very often. These large stations (and smaller too) are managed by load sharing, so in the theoretical case that 40 cars arrive exactly at the same time with perfectly prepared battery temperature and SoC and all connect at exactly the same time, they will just be capped by the chargers so the station doesn’t exceed available power spec.

A 3D-printed data strip encodes instructions for the printer as holes in a plastic sheet, which open and close simple switches in the motor controller. These switches control the speed, direction, and duration of the motors’ movement, letting the data strip encode motion vectors.

LOL, he made a punch card controlled printer…that’s really awesome and fun use of old tech.
