It's not at all harder on a technical level. Offline is the same as online with only one player. Many games boot up a server automatically when you play singleplayer.

Release the server software. Counter Strike's is already available to download.

What if it depends on licensed code that you cannot legally distribute?

> If I'm taking a long trip, the primary problem I'm solving for is "time to location" and "difficulty planning" and ICE wins, period, if charging is required mid-trip.

You should be able to recharge at least 200 km of range in a 20 minute stop which is probably enough until your next break. An ICE lets you cut out those breaks but you really shouldn't because breaks are good for you (and your driving).

Either your car or whatever you use for GPS directions already handles the planning for you. It will automatically find and route you to chargers as needed.

Maybe we'll end up cancelling whatever contract Waymo got and give them a secret payout amount like we did for Starlink.

You get used to it. I tried FSD (latest version) last winter in those conditions and it had no issues. Waymo shouldn't have any issues with it either.

Cars don't drive in the dark. Roads are usually lit. And every car has its own lights for seeing where you are driving.

> Roads are usually lit

Not always. Definitely not all freeways.

> And every car has its own lights for seeing where you are driving

Not always far enough. Especially at freeway speeds on unlit freeways.

So how can humans do it?

If humans don't have lidar but can drive it's an existence proof of the viability of that approach.

In addition to vision, humans have proprioception and kinesthesia, hearing, inner ear receptors for balance, a sense of touch, sense of smell. We use all of these sensory inputs when we drive. And even then humans get into lots of accidents.

Lidar is superhuman vision.

How do you use your sense of smell to help you drive? I can't smell anything outside my car thanks to the air filter.

The real answer is very simple: safe drivers slow down to adapt to poor conditions (including visibility). Lidar might reduce how much it needs to slow down but I don't think it will be eliminated because you can't drive with only lidar.

> How do you use your sense of smell to help you drive?

I smell smoke before I see it. Useful if there's a forest fire up ahead.

Burning rubber or smoke from the engine is an indicator of a mechanical issue.

> you can't drive with only lidar.

Nobody said you could. This is a strawman.

Tesla stans are the only ones trying to convince everyone you can only drive with cameras. Everyone else is pretty united on the usefulness of multiple inputs.

> Nobody said you could. This is a strawman.

Didn't mean it in that way. I meant a car with camera+lidar would realistically still slow down because of the reduced camera visibility.

Ignore them. The latest Model S and X have radar again, but possibly unused right now, so they are probably going to roll that out in a refresh of the 3 and Y eventually.

Humans can't do it safely during a proper blizzard. (Toronto doesn't really get proper blizzards, though).

Interstate highways and local roads are generally unlit outside of urban areas. But in fairness, Waymos don't operate in those places anyway.

What's wrong is all of the older models they sold do not have what you experienced. They were sold FSD but their car's hardware can't run the latest software, and the older implementations required much more babysitting (aka not FSD).

Got it - thanks for answering.

The function reference is actually evaluated first so your preferred order is actually backwards! Consider this:

  foo.bar(x)

The `foo.bar` field has to be retrieved before the function can be called. It does not evaluate `x` first. That is observable with JS proxies, or you can test with code like this:

  foo()(bar())

Executing the "." operator isn't the same as executing the function.

JS and many other languages have getters so that's not always true.

But my point is that the reference to the function you are calling is actually its own term that needs to be considered in the order of evaluation.

You can also use the IIFE (immediately invoked function expression) pattern that is/was common in JS as an example:

  (function() {
    // ...
  })();

You can use any valid expression in place of a function name, including anything that causes observable side effects.

A "getter" executed on the "." operator isn't the same as executing the function it returns anyway.

Accessing the air filter on the Model 3 isn't great but yes, can do it yourself. Many people just pay someone else to do things like this though.

???

Rip away center tunnel carpet on rhs (lhd vehicle), remove 2 screws from below glove compartment, fold away panel, remove cap from filter compartment, remove 2 filters - put back together in reverse order.

That's literally a 20 minute job if you about know what you should be doing - a.k.a. read about the process in the free service manual of Tesla (only need an account, free) or watched a YT video...

The difficulty is more related to the tight spot it's in and not the process.

True, I broke the clip changing mine....

It updates the games too. And there are social features (chat) that some people do actually use.
