Is there a book with all the info this has?

So nothing on the ISS then?

Really cool idea but not ideal for tourists. I just tried where I live and it mostly gave me a list of housing developments and roads. Nothing actually interesting, and there definitely are interesting things!

There is also the Wikimedia project Wikivoyage[1], which focusses exclusively on travel guides. I just recently learned about it but haven’t actually used it yet, so I don’t know if it is any good.

Ice nine. Hooray

Hopping over a line of cars is only useful if you know there's nothing in front. In an accident this just means a rear end impact becomes an entirely more dangerous accident where one car is falling from the sky onto several more

It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see how being able to jump and hover for 2-3 seconds could be used to avoid otherwise fatal impacts, provided the software was perfect.

Given that we don't have such software, and that this currently requires trading all three seats for compressed gas storage, there are obviously some hurdles to this becoming a practical emergency feature.

All three seats??? I didn't know that

Yes, I understand 2 seats for the one with the rear thrusters while the one with all the thrusters has only a single driver's seat.

> At most it makes you fall in the water in the correct orientation.

They showed a still of the submarine car from James Bond as inspiration for this.

That's the roadster they should have built. This compressed air jumping thing is impractical and dangerous and will never be road legal. But a submersible car would have actual practical uses, increase survivability in several accident situations and not face the same regulatory hurdles.

If they were actually trying to build something cool I think that would be the play, but everything Elon does now is to bump stock price

What's the supposed practical use of the submersible?

I imagine that if you were to crash your car into a body of water, the damage could allow water to enter the normally sealed vehicle anyway.

That does not really sound cooler than a car that can drive up walls and jump.

Well, maybe not submersible, but if it could even float and move in water it essentially becomes a boat which I don't need to explain is a practical mode of transport.

How many times have you been in traffic waiting to cross a bridge or driving around a body of water wishing you could just go over it?

I don't know why you would do this when there are free open source solutions out there that do not use credits.

The scarier one for me is this happened with a nuclear warhead in I think Carolina, it was buried in impact without going off, and they never found the core

Meta or motto?

It does look to be. What does pool mean?
