> everyone will be plugging their car in at home I realize that a lot of people here are privileged enough to own a single family home, but the majority of humanity lives in apartm…

There are a lot of products like this available and every corporation's offices I have been to have had one of them.

Tell that to the people who won't buy that car.

You are 99% correct. We use the english terms for this here in Germany, too. Everyone in the industry used to literally call this feature and others like it "pre-crash".

Yes, but people regularly get burns and light blunt trauma from airbags. The US versions of many cars even have slightly weaker airbags, because many people don't wear seatbelts an…

When you drive a truly noisy car or motorcycle, you will remember to do it.

It really depends. The newer traffic control bridges we have on our highways take a picture from both the front and back.

I had a similar issue when my bank introduced a new banking app. The web login page has different requirements for the password than the app. I.e. on either I can set my password t…

There was someone who not too long ago fixed an SQL injecction to his front bumper and it managed to break the automated toll collection system.

One important fact here is that everything the pilots will need to reach quickly in an emergency still is a physical button. It's just the more "nice to have" things (e.g. programm…

As a visually unimpaired person, those touch buttons are just horrible. Especially so when it is a function that does not have an immediate effect. Just this morning I switched my …

It shouldn't be, but for most people entering into it, becoming highly desirable on the job/employee market is the chief motivator. If a university doesn't cater to that demand, th…

So he wasn't that smart after all.

As an automotive security engineer, I have to interject. Miller and Valasek hacked into a car that was very far removed from what we consider modern automotive electronics. Any tru…

Yeah, this really isn't a good article.

The difference was almost entirely the size. The US used to have very few cruisers during the 70ies, but the Soviet Union had a lot of ships that were much smaller than US cruisers…

Firefox has performance and general software bloat issues on all plattforms. They sacrificed their original "tailor the browser exactly to your needs" approach on the altar of keep…

It used to be that these categories had very different roles. Nowadays, NATO defines these categories based on size. Well, technically the water displaced by the hull. The main dif…

Sorry, but you are completely incorrect in this matter. White collar crime is prosecuted fiercly in Germany, especially when it's a case that got public attention. However it takes…

Audi is not trying to get out of anything. They are saying that they will not throw an ex employee under the bus in the media before he/she is convicted of the crime. Audi do assis…

Eh, you are equating slow growth with "running out of steam". Even if they don't grow from here on out, they will stay one of the world's most profitable companies for decades. App…

In my experience "the old waterfall companies" are the ones where the engineers are trusted with a task and left to do their thing. In such an environment, managers are only there …

And if you don't use the tools the way they are meant to, you are just wasting massive amounts of time.

It seems to be a matter of propper balance. You can elevate patterns, idioms etc. to language features and you can add entirely new features that enable entirely new solutions. Jav…

And this is why most companies doing anything having to do with media will not ever even read/watch works that were sent to them unsolicited. There are so many ideas being in diffe…
