That is good, didn't expect FT to screw it up that bad though.
I think it would have been really bad for the entire market if that was legit.

So this is a drone following an FSD test car in China. The key takeaway is that you can drop this system anywhere in the world and it will just work. I don't think India is there yet though...
That is pretty impressive, I must say.

Just to make the point that LIDAR doesn't solve for lack of AI.

While talking to a coworker from Australia, he mentioned that they got the first factory given to them, which gave them a leg up. I didn't quite recall it that way, but I wasnt tracking it that close back then. Turns out its a bit more interesting than that.
In 2011 they partnered with Toyota, the deal included cooperating with Tesla on EVs (in fact they did make a few Tesla drivetrain RAV4s) and selling that NUMMI plant in Fremont to Tesla for 42 million, and Toyota buying 50 million in Tesla stock. They dissolved the partnership in 2014, but held the stock til 2017. They did okay, since they turned 50 million into 250 million in less than seven years. So they got Teslas 42 million and another 250 million out of the stock.
Looking at if they held out, that same fifty million would be worth over six billion today.

Each officer only covers 30 to 90 miles over a 12 hour shift? Not much road time preventing crime.
Oh, haven't you heard? It's not their job to prevent crimes, just to investigate after the crime is committed.
Not much road time investigating crimes either.

Keep in mind the area they are in. Its less than 4 square miles. Horses for courses. County police in one of those huge Texas counties. Nope. State police virtually anywhere? Not yet. This county? Maybe. Not sure how many miles a day a SMCSO officer drives, but I also know they have take home cars.
With the amount of lefty rage at Tesla, they probably just park at the dealership, recline the seats and wait for the crime to come to them.
Cool. So If I start my own police force for just my subdivision the EVs would be fine. Now I just need my neighbors to pitch in for the purchase of twenty EVs to patrol our 10 square blocks.
Using an area smaller than Disney World as an example of EV success is hilarious.

I'm going to play DOGE here and say you should get Segway instead.
Security at DW did have Segways. They ran over my daughters foot. Not a fan.

But they work for a lot more than that. Want to bet the national average daily mileage for police vehicles?
AI says 40-120 a day. Borne out by this.
If the vehicle has a +300 mile range, even in winter that should be fine to get you through your shift with lots extra.
