You're so right...using electricity to drive here in Texas is so much less carbon intensive than gasoline powered engines it's not even close. Switching to an EV instantly makes a huge difference in your carbon footprint

NexFundAI, as per information on the website, was marketed as redefining the "intersection between finance and artificial intelligence" and that its aim was to "create a cryptocurrency token that not only serves as a secure store of value but also acts as a catalyst for positive change in the world of AI."

Dude...hook, line, and sinker. FBI knows their target audience lol

LA is the second biggest city in the US and it'd be like 15th biggest in China. Los Angeles is also the 308th most dense city in the continental US, and not even on the radar internationally for density

China's population density in its eastern half is an order of magnitude higher than pretty much every country, which really changes the transportation calculation. It'd be impossible for them to build enough roads to effectively transport their population around the country

Every time I see one of these trying to find a parking space at the grocery store I feel vicarious shame for the driver. Truly, the scarlet letter of the 21st Century.

This is probably incredibly delicious

Sure, but in those stats we're talking households making $100-$150K a year, who are not going to drop $27K on a bottle of whiskey lol

They also seem unlikely to shop at Costco

Obama tried to stop this. Trump reversed that policy

I think the biggest problem is that it's still only a concept with no realistic plan for implementation. Waymo has been on the roads where I live for years troubleshooting their self-driving concept. They've gotten better, but still cause problems regularly, like running red lights, stopping unpredictably, and getting stuck and not being able to figure out how to proceed. And Waymo seems significantly ahead of Tesla with this concept
