AI has been everywhere recently. Sometimes the news is great! Sometimes AI found a new drug or a new way to search for a disease. Other times… Well… So, what happened? Does Google Gemini know something I don’t? There actually *was* a female Pope once. And, it is possible that upwards of three popes in […]

Recently, Toyota has announced the death of the EV. I was sad to hear about this, given all I’ve invested into the electric vehicle world. But, is there any truth to this assertion? Will ammonia fueled vehicles make EVs extinct? I have some doubts. Toyota has long been the buggy whip manufacturer that says cars

Recently yet another article was posted that compares the price of charging an EV compared to an equivalent gasoline or diesel vehicle. https://www.businessinsider.com/ev-charging-cost-versus-gas-car-truck-suv-2023-7 But, is it true or has the author mined the depths for the highest quality manure?

I bought a Chevy Bolt EUV around a year ago but haven’t taken any long trips until recently. I decided to have a small vacation and also to visit the EVTV headquarters for a couple of days. I live around 550 miles away from Cape Girardeau so I knew I’d have to fast charge on

People who know me probably know that I’m not a huge fan of too many people – certainly not Elon and not Sandy either. I tend to be a bit critical of public personalities, especially those two. But, the above video is a very good discussion about the state of the automotive industry and how

The last blog post was all about self driving and my thoughts on whether vision only is the way to go. Obviously, I don’t feel that it is. Limiting yourself to what humans have is stupid. If we can find sensors that give us extra-sensory perception or better distance vision, then shouldn’t we? We drive

Self driving technologies have been in the public eye for a number of years now. In fact, according to Elon, we were going to have self driving cars several years ago. Well, we do, sort of. What’s the definition of self driving again? It can be famously difficult to define what we mean when we
