I guess that the same number of cells also dies in the same period!

Honestly Milan is not really bike friendly (even if sloooowly getting better), that’s why we need this kind of demonstrations

Just guessing: trying to minimize vortexes and turbulences.

Quite a lot:

• energy efficency: a phone with a screen on will depleate battery very fast. This thing claims 20 h battery lide while actually using it
• readability in full sunlight: most phones are not readable in full sunlight and consume a lot in this situation
• impermeability: while many phones nowadays can withstand some water, this thing is designed to be used under the rain

Is it worth it? I guess it depends on the use you make of you bike…

They grew after BMW bought the company, so most of that growth was after that, specifically 3rd Gen.

The point of the post is not much that cars grew, they have always been doing so.

The main point is that the growth in dimension happen, but manufacturers don’t want to highlight it, and in the ad the old and the new Minis look like they are roughly the same size.

this is very interesting, but it is relatade to a specific USA place and to a specific change (4 lanes to 3 lanes+cycle paths). unfortunately conclusions can’t be generalized, in this case.

You need a satellite to do that, I think

It is at world level, according to WHO

https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/themes/topics/topic-details/GHO/road-traffic-mortality

In the linked page the same WHO states that road fatalities are the leading cause of death “for children and young adults aged 5–29 years”:

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/road-traffic-injuries

except for the “cars are great” part.

Yeah… Excluding moron drivers you have:

• fucking dangerous for anyone outside the car
  • killing millions every year
  • main cause of death among those aged 15–29 years
• air pollution
• noise pollution
• one of the main sources of greenhouse emissions
• wasting space where it’s more valuable
• wasting money on subsides, directly and indirectly because of roads needed
• distorting urban growth to increase dependency on it

I’m probably still forgetting something important…

I see some serious issues in this project

• The speed would seem very low.
• To increase the speed you would need to improve the infrasctructure, but this would not be cheap
• even if technolgy is old, doesn’t mean it’s good. verythin that is elf-balancing is at risk of falling in case of failure…

Cool project tho

Super cool, bu are they faster/more efficent than a good pair of diving fins?
