  1. Yep exactly this. If you were talking innovative tech the way to make it work would be via mesh networking whereby each vehicles onboard computer is it's own control hub with each vehicle connecting with others within its immediate vicinity, rather than a remote hub that all cars connect to. Added benefit of that in an EV world would be a distributed power grid in which power is shared from battery to battery based on which vehicles need it most. The tech is mostly there albeit in concept stage, as I say I don't think that will be what holds the innovation back.
  2. I don't think technology is the bottleneck here, most cars have on board computers now, sensors for parking, GPS etc. The bottleneck will be the practical application and governance of it all, which will take forever to sort, especially since each countries legislation will differ. You know why we won't have autonomous vehicles adopted mainstream any time soon, have a think about how long we've had self checkout service at supermarkets and there are still problems with them that the supermarkets haven't been able to solve practically. E.g. there is an accepted 10% shrinkage rate on supermarkets having a self checkout lane, that is to say supermarkets accept that by having self checkouts 10% of their goods will be nicked. But that's less costly than not having self checkouts, or less painful than spending time & money trying to solve the problem. If we can't get self checkouts right it's going to be a long time before we can apply autonomous vehicles!
  3. I'm getting older and get dehydrated pretty quick on a sweatbox stage, bottle of water and a can of beer is the perfect balance to get me through a set. The sex drugs and rock & roll lifestyle is grossly over exaggerated (my performance would be a heap of shit with all those distractions).
  4. Few bottles of water, few bottles of beer. Jobs a good 'un!
  5. Blow me fuck face. Go to hell. I'm sick of you.
  6. The mighty Meath all the way lads! I got to a Christy Ring Cup game last year at Pairc Tailteann got the shirt and all. Noone can accuse me of being a glory hunter!
  7. If anyone is a shithouse it's me for not backing him in the wider tournament. He's going to get the golden boot again isn't he. We need to get him playing this role for us next season.
