It's referring to edge computing, and can be thought of as essentially saying "self hosting".

Why is it by each manufacturer individually?

To show that this is a correlation seen across manufacturers. You provided an excellent example of why this is necessary when you singled out BMW drivers, when the data showed this correlation across all manufacturers.

Why do some manufacturers have a much higher percentage of accidents even though they don't make high power cars?

Potentially because they're less safe, or they draw riskier drivers?

Why are some manufacturers percentage of accidents in their high power cars lower than other manufacturers low power cars?

See above.

You'll probably need other slices of the data to reason about those questions. However what we see here is there is a positive correlation across all manufacturers between horsepower and accidents.

This looks like a chart that was specifically structured to prove a point the researcher started from.

I imagine this data was analyzed with answering "do higher horsepower cars have more accidents" in mind, so the presentation of the data will naturally have answering that question in a comprehensive manner in mind. Please remember that you're not seeing a table with all of their data - you're seeing a particular subset that they believe is relevant to the question at hand.

So....at the end of the day, do you agree that the data shows there's a positive correlation between increased horsepower and percentage of cars having reported accidents?

Are you not seeing a positive correlation between horsepower and % having had accidents, including BMWs? Are we looking at the same table?

Power is irrelevant. Pedestrian crash severity = speed² × shape impacting human head

This reasoning is solely done in a vacuum.

You're forgetting the human factor of "people buy fast vehicles because they want to go fast".

The data shows that more powerful cars are involved in more accidents.

An excellent comparison, we know that excessive speed has never caused fatal accidents in cars before! Everyone follows the laws about speed limits, because we can trust our fellow citizens to do so, right?

If there's no speed limit then it shouldn't belong in the bike lane - it's more akin to an electric motorcycle.

Cowboys and aliens.

Man pitched this fever dream of an idea in 97, was laughed out of the room.

Folks only agreed with the same guy to make it in 2006 after seeing it was based on a best selling comic book.

That comic book was written by the person who initially pitched the idea in 97. He practically paid comic book stores to carry and give away the comic book so it'd be a "best seller".

Movie execs got hoodwinked lol

I think I remember the dual thumb, but I just remember being amazed at how responsive it was

Typing on this thing was a dream.

One of the videos in question has a direct call to action to support this bill

Considering he's their elected representative he ought to do some representing.

Perhaps those that care about politics are the ones with which politics gets discussed? Unless you're sitting down and going "so that trump, huh?" With every person you meet.
