...and if a 10th century human had an intact (and fueled) car -- could they start it and drive it around? Would they even know what it is? What about an airplane?
I doubt we are talking an intact FTL, but even if we were the technology comparison to ours is likely near incomprehensible on the surface. We can more easily examine and dissect the materials (at least to a certain degree) with our current technology.

and I still have it ... My second was the TRS-80 Model 3

See? ANYTHING except metric :)

Yes, me too. The cards that get impacted are invariably one that is never used online -- although I do use services like Amazon Pay and Paypal for some one-off online transactions.

Rookie move there Microsoft...

It was also NOT in general use either. All of the publicity to date has been around idiots with autopilot thinking THAT was FSD...

and no popcorn is sounds like...

Nuclear power needs nothing like the same sort of enrichment weapons do.
10% (on the high side -- 5% is more the norm) versus 90%...

They will send a guy with a shovel full of dirt to make amends.

Best truth in advertising EVAR!!!

I agree and I think that demand is being created and will grow. There are a lot of potential opportunities as prices come down (and this is true for heavy lift/deep space as well as LEO). Still it has to materialize ...

Yes, the actual level needed to beat an average human is a rather low bar to jump over.
However, the current (public) version is still better than cruise control or nothing at all.
Eventually we will have full level 5 autonomous cars/trucks ... the getting there is the hard part -- not the technology, but the regulations/testing.

Odd isn't it that such a small car company (or even tech company if you want to call them that) has stirred such a big storm :)
By integrating technology into automobiles -- that was long overdue.

Well, I mean with everybody else landing and reusing rockets this is a bit stale... no?

This.
Nailed it.

Agreed. The same things can be communicated through most any medium given the chance and too many management folks (yes, I am picking on them) are not comfortable in a remote environment. I have been work at home for most of a decade now and properly managed productivity is not a problem (knowing when to stop and break for the day can be).
