I just had an experience with a auto soap dispenser, sink, towels and dryer set in the same place in a public restroom, didn’t have to walk to a shared dryer

Plus if electric cars become the norm, the streets will be quiet for the first time since the industrial revolution

My AVP. Every time I put it on I’m amazed how well I can see the world and all the floating windows are so crisp.

Those fancy sinks you can’t fit your hands in and just splash water everywhere. We have peaked as a race, its all downhill now.

Arc Search. I’ve learned more this past year.

Relating to electric cars, Aptera – when they hit the streets everything changes.

when they hit the streets

I doubt that will be any time soon unless there’s multiple massive breakthroughs. Unless you drive 5 miles a day and park in pure sun there’s just not enough power to keep the batteries charged.

Honestly though I’d really like to see electric golf carts take over as city vehicles. They’re small, fairly light weight, go fast enough for a city, and if you really want you can fit some solar cells on the roof.

I drive like 20 miles a week, so that would be a game changer for me

It looks so cool, I hope it actually launches. They’ve already gone bankrupt once before. I was holding off on a new car for a while to hope to get one, but it doesn’t look like they’re coming out soon, so I got a bolt, which has been great.

Oh, nice, I hear good things about the bolt.

I think that last aptera bankruptcy happened about a decade ago under different leadership, before they had all the manufacturing partners, business plan of today and definitely before this round of pre-orders/investment.

As far as I understand, that was basically a couple guys building an awesome car that they didn’t have the business infrastructure for. It seemed easier to source parts until they had to do it.

Ramping production is still slated for ~'24, which has been delayed before I believe from last year, which isn’t great.

They’ve had mostly finished prototypes driving around for a while now and direct investment/partnerships, so I don’t see them going bust too soon.

They have a lot of pretty regular updates with production status and media updates on their website and YouTube channel to check out.

I’m hopeful. I want the thousand miler.

Solar powered, self-reparable cars are where the future is.

There’s an app for everything.
And everything requires an app.
It’s not a good future.
