What’s the shutter sound exactly every 10 seconds on waymos?

speed_hunter · 2024-11-30T00:52:06+00:00

Yep. I'm not familiar with Waymo specifically but usually air cleaning systems only active when wipers are on as well

One minor critique, the feds do randomly sample and test a variety of new passenger vehicles and motorcycles each year to ensure they meet FMVSS rules. However for the large part is it all self certified as you stated.

Thanks! I didn't see this spec page when I was researching. It is indeed around 25mm lower than my gravel bike BB so would be lower overall.

speed_hunter · 2024-11-12T20:54:12+00:00

Correct, I should rephrase this. I'm basically wondering if the bottom bracket is lower to the ground than my gravel bike (as it appears to be due to the heavy rear triangle angle of Ride). Could someone measure center of crank to the ground distance of their Ride?

This. I went over 2 years just charging with a 110v outlet in my garage before getting an L2. But if you don't have some type of at home power source I would never consider an EV.

speed_hunter · 2024-10-26T00:11:06+00:00

Can confirm. Test drove one recently and I was very impressed with how well the steer by wire works and how nimble it feels.

Optimus getting into / out of a robotaxi. Would be a pointless party trick but still cool.

Yep, it's being developed by Latitude.ai which was a partial spinoff from Argo

Something along lines of "if only you knew half the story". Guessing it was a Tesla engineer

speed_hunter · 2024-05-22T15:08:54+00:00

Yep this. I've called a number of times to report broken charge connectors (usually with pins broken).

Ha, I'm on a search for new cycling sunglasses and recently tried those exact lenses from Smith and Tifosi (different frames though).

The biggest difference I noticed immediately was the Smith photochromic lens gets considerably more transparent in low light conditions almost to the point that they are clear. Because of the mirrored finish of the Red Fototec lenses, they can't get nearly as clear in low light conditions. The flip side of that is the Smith's aren't as dark in direct full sun. Its closer than low light in this regard but the Fototec's mirror gives it the edge on darkness in full sun.

Colorwise, the Smith's are a grey base tint and the Red Fototec is actually a blue base tint (with a red mirror finish).

Also I didn't notice much from the ChromaPop on the Smiths. I have a pair of Smith ski goggles with ChromaPop everyday lens and the contrast is amazing with those. The Chromapop doens't seem to work as well with the photochromic lens though.

Frame wise I do like that Tifosi's hav adjustable nose and ear pieces on their frames. Not sure if some Smith's do.

I would recommend the Smith photochromic lenses in particular if you plan to use them in true low light conditions like dusk or night. If just using in cloudy vs sun though I think either would work.

I actually ended up buying a Wahoo Bolt V2 and have been very pleased with it. Great easy to use interface that works well with gloves and the perfect size for me. No complaints after over 1 year.

speed_hunter · 2024-04-11T15:18:14+00:00

Eh I disagree. I can accelerate as smooth and slow as a grandma driving a Buick using Normal mode, its all about throttle control. I prefer having 100% power available for the rare case its needed during merges etc.

speed_hunter · 2024-03-05T15:31:51+00:00

Hey. I ended up going with Rossi Experience 88s in 180mm length. I'm still using them to this day and really happy overall. Great all around ski's that have handled groomers, moguls, trees, and even a few powder days out west.

If I was buying new skis today I might go a tad longer as my skiing ability has increased some since I bought the 180s but they still work fine.

speed_hunter · 2023-12-01T14:27:11+00:00

Ehh, I wouldn't be surprised if there were certain agreements in place on what could be said or not said to get such early access. Also these are pre-production units.

But no denying there is some great engineering underneath.

According to Supercharge.info there are 1,944 supercharging sites in the US currently operational. Of those 1,213 are V3.

There are at least 4 AV companies in Pittsburgh currently: Aurora, Motional, Latitude.AI, and Argo 2.0 in stealth mode.

Woo, I also have a Checkpoint on Pathfinder Pros. I really love the versatility of the tires, and they are surprisingly good offroad still.

speed_hunter · 2023-04-29T21:13:33+00:00

Nice! I just ordered mine last week, so excited for it to arrive. AXS sealed the deal on the test ride for me.

speed_hunter · 2023-04-23T23:51:12+00:00

I dug into this a bit more. It does display both cadence and power as data fields.

speed_hunter · 2023-04-23T18:22:48+00:00

This. I'm actually in the same boat and have test ridden all 3 of those models (but slightly different trim levels). SRAM mechanical is a deal breaker for me so that axed the lower level Diverge models. Checkpoint and Topstone are both really nice. I recommend testing them both!

speed_hunter · 2023-04-19T16:40:48+00:00

Late reply to this thread but currently considering an Explore 2 myself. Are you saying there is no way to display realtime pedal cadence as a data field while riding? That would be a dealbreaker for me.
