One aspect I hate about this is that it’s so hard to find long term reviews. Brands change a tiny thing on their product and it’s a new model number.
A different inverter, motor, display, HDMI input configuration and it goes from FM344-02 DX to FM345-SL-Plus.
When shopping for a new washing machine, TV oder whatever consumer product you can imagine you only find reviews from either influencers that get paid by the manufacturer or it’s an Amazon review from someone who just unpacked it, tells me about the delivery process and how the first three days have been.
I want a single mother of triplets tell me if the washing machine made it through the diaper years. I want the retired soap opera addict to tell me how the TV performs after 20 seasons of Dallas or whatever grannies binge these days.
Long haul trucking could be the first use case for automated driving. They could simply swap the trucks and recharge them. Depends on what’s cheaper: Adding swapping capabilities or having the whole trunk waiting to be charged.
