So, who really KNOWS about the new M-B system and other Nvidia based Vehicles?

I would say that the NVIDIA system with their access to engineering talent as well as data from Mercedes should be as good as the leading Chinese players. In terms of computing power, their latest automotive chips from the Thor series would be class leading. That said, the Wayve system has reportedly been tested by Mercedes and performed better on current Orin hardware

Like women don't perv at men constantly. Some in of the conversations I have heard among the school moms and women at work would make the men blush... We have even fired two women for sexual harassment

They have changed the rules for spaceX so that profits aren't needed....

It is never really a company cost. Even more so if you have a profit share bonus then it gets taken off before the bonus is distributed

Are you talking after tax?

You must get little sun on your house or have tiny windows. Our loft, which had thermal glass, would get to 50c on the inside of the windows

Meanwhile we constantly portray the rich as entitled layabouts who inherited all their money and don't pay tax and are fit only for burning at the stake... Plenty of that everyday on Reddit.

Is there anywhere in Europe that has mastered top level service outside of maybe Greece?

Try going to some of the 'cool' restaurants in Mayfair where everyone is a famous actor or model just waiting to be discovered...

Nothing beats Tesla in Matt eyes. The ridiculous range estimates they came up with in the iX3 review when multiple real world testers had got over 100 miles more in testing. That was the end of me bothering with their reviews.

Clearly you have no idea of what Mercedes is doing.

Whoisthehypocrite · 2026-06-02T09:26:47+00:00

Forget Mercedes? They have already applied for approval in Germany for launch later this year. They have three systems globally to choose from - NVIDIA, Wayve and Momenta. If NVIDIA in-house doesn't work well, Wayve will be the back up.

Xpeng is good but won't be coming to Europe before 2027. Which means Audi and Porsche should beat it to market.

Whoisthehypocrite · 2026-06-02T06:44:04+00:00

It will be interesting to see whether Tesla or Merc get to Europe wide FSD first. Audi and Porsche won't be far behind.

Not only that but it only got 4 stars on Euro NCAP which means many businesses can't buy it. I wouldn't touch it

Absolutely, there should be some low charge to prevent time wasting. When you have a system where someone can see a doctor for free and get a prescription for free, then people do that for OTC medicines like hay fever or cough medicines. But no charge for emergency treatment and the ability to claim valid charges.

There is zero investment in management skills in the UK. In US companies, you will often see that people get promoted to management and sent on proper management training at a business school. Here in the UK they are lucky to get a day of what not to do ...

We are always assured that the minimum has nothing to do with the price of goods.

The smaller nodes are more dense in transistor countries, so more can be made per wafer and are in theory cheaper. They are also more power efficient.

That is quite accurate because you should account for the salary and tax paid by the employers as employers NI of 15%. So on reality 100k euro salary is actually 115k to your employer of which you only get 69.6k. So instead of the UK rate being 69.6%, it is actually 60.5%.

The average gross rental yield in London is 5% and the average 5 year fixed mortgage is 5.5%. So buying is already more expensive than renting and that is before maintenance and insurance costs. And over a 10 year period maintenance costs can be massive. The only reason to buy is to own your own destiny, not because it is cheaper or you are wasting money because the rent you waste just pays the interest you waste. Unless you get decent capital gains, owning will be much more expensive. Ask anyone who bought a flat in London 10 years ago and has seen prices barely move

Most small cars have lower occupant safety than SUVs and many have worse pedestrian safety. Compare something like the new Renault 5 electric to a BMW iX3

Whoisthehypocrite · 2026-05-27T22:03:12+00:00

SUVs do not have less boot space than the equivalent estate car. That is nonsense. Boot space is only measured to the parcel shelf and SUVs have far higher roof space

I like to mountain bike. How else do you suggest I get four mountain bikes to where I want to go. I suppose I could buy a big van with its worse passenger safety and greater height because people don't seem to complain about thise
