Toyota is opening up an experimental battery plant in Michigan. The technology just keeps getting better and better.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

The internet has nothing to do with SAGE or Missile Master. Otherwise correct.

They were early examples of wide area networks which is what the Internet really is.

That would be more difficult. In theory, diesel can be added to a moving vehicle, but it is not easy. While electricity is easy to add to a moving vehicle through overhead lines, and could be added through this contactless technology.

That doesn't work in traffic jams.
And who's going to pay for it?

They are so confident in their lies, I pity them.

Joe brings up an interesting point, why does the alt right need lies to support their arguments? If their arguments were sound, they could support them with real facts.

Inversion fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

T.A Gardner calls that wishcasting and a reason to not try anything that is not already proven.

Wordstuffing.

He does not know what you say is true. That thru trial and error and belief and hope the first airplane or space mission was chased based on theory they could work when it was not yet proven. THat all sorts of other technological benefits come out of wishcasting in science and pushing the limits on what can and should be done, failure or success.

This is not a space mission. It is not a technological advance. Inductive charging has been around a while now (since Faraday).

That is todays conservatard mindset. To mock any attempts to improve any technology as wrong as that improvement is not proven yet.

Wordstuffing.

People like T.A. Gardner are sad and pathetic as they would be the end of innovation and think that is a good thing.

Wordstuffing. Stop making shit up.

The technology is demonstrated on a closed specially constructed track. Fine.

Who's going to pay to get it installed on tens of thousands of interstate freeway and pay for the power to run it?

FoxNews has taught them that lying can be a good strategy.

You are describing yourself again.

PostmodernIdiot had no clue that the circular track is what has been used to prove things out in automotive innovations since the inception of the automobile.

A circle, by definition, does not end. That makes it the perfect test track. You can drive in circles until either the technology fails, or you get bored. I have no idea why PMS thinks it is impossible to drive for a hundred hours on a circular track.

this was a proof of concept test. What that does not mean is that it will be applied exactly to real world situations or applied at all. They are simply testing the upper limits of results in controlled situations so they can then see how and where they can use this technology in a practical way to benefit society.

It is a step in the right direction.

There aren't any on the interstate highway system.

People driving in autopilot mode on the highway, while people sleep.

 

[Walt]

Who's going to pay to install it on tens of thousands of miles of interstate and to provide power for it?

Who paid for power transmission lines? Companies that wished to profit from transmitting electricity. Who paid for railroad tracks? Companies that wished to profit from railroad lines. If metered, then people will wish to invest in electrical lines to vehicles. That is rather straightforward.

Electric car drives for 100 hours non-stop on futuristic road
The 100-hour drive of a Toyota RAV4 is a new world record, startup says
An electric car has driven nearly 2,000km (1,250 miles) without stopping to charge as part of a demonstration of an electric road that wirelessly charges vehicles as they drive.
Israeli startup Electreon claims the achievement is a new world record for the longest time and distance ever driven non-stop by a passenger electric vehicle (EV), taking just over 100 hours to cover 1,942 kilometres.
The stunt was completed using a specially adapted Toyota RAV4, which drove in circles around a track fitted with Electreon’s Wireless Electric Road technology.
The startup claims its tech can solve some of the fundamental challenges facing widespread EV adoption, including range anxiety, slow charge times and battery size.
“The objective of this 100-hour non-stop driving rally was to demonstrate the unlimited technical potential of Wireless Electric Road technology to power EVs to drive indefinitely with a minimal battery,” said Reuven Rivlin, Electreon’s honorary president.
“This is yet another clear signal that our Wireless Electric Road technology is ready for large-scale commercial projects globally.”
Electric car range set to double with first production of breakthrough battery
The five-day drive involved 56 different drivers, with the vehicle only pausing momentarily to switch between drivers.
Electreon plans to develop its wireless charging technology for vehicles alongside Toyota, having signed an agreement with the Japanese automotive giant in March.
“This partnership will make wireless charging accessible to a diverse and wide range of drivers, and will demonstrate the many benefits of wireless charging as a cost-effective, clean solution for charging EVs, as well as a catalyst in reducing EVs’ carbon footprint,” Electreon chief executive Oren Ezer said at the time.

Fuck your prototype, show me something real world and tangible.

I tell ya wut, I ain't breakin' out no duckets for no "Electreon" bullshit.

Some things just aren't doable in the real world.

Fuck your prototype, show me something real world and tangible.

There are multiple steps to developing a new technology. To get to a real world release, you have to go through those steps. If we never went through those steps, we would never advance as a culture. We would be dependent on other countries advancements.

...

T.A, any comment on Toyota pursuing innovation in battery development without knowing if they will actually get any break throughs or not?

Toyota out wish casting about advancement that could come up empty and result in nothing.

As a conservatard you have taken the position that wishcasting such as this is wrong and bad to do. That attempts to advance technology, without proof it will succeed are wrong to do. So is your position Toyota is wrong to do this?

It is a step in the right direction.

PostModernIdiot continually proves he is completely ignorant of almost every topic he jumps in to with his conservatard views.

To his credit, he does seem to google after i educate him and then he pretends his prior position was not in fact his position. Very Trumpian.

In this case he was so eager to try and discredit this story that he jumped on the 'herr derr, a circular track is not the same as a straight road' that other conservatards were saying in the thread, that he got caught along with them making a stupid point.

But it is all they could try to make an argument with.

It is not even that though to be honest.

Conservatards do not understand that science like this that is Proof of Concept, seeks to push the limits and show what could be possible at the extremes of the technology and its application. It is about possibility not probability.


It is entirely possible that this technology may not be practical to put under every highway and road for many generations (maybe never) but it could make total sense to put it in certain economic zones where you may have somewhat of a closed loop of business. For example think of any area around a major airport and how that area serves as Logistics hubs for dozens, if not hundreds of trucking companies taking Air Freight to various warehouses and consolidating it to then ship out to customers once they can group the freight by geography.

The roads in this area are being constantly resurfaced to high mileage use. If this tech is put in the roads as each is resurfaced, and these companies are using electric vehicles to move the freight from Airport to warehouse and back, it could provide for continual operation without downtime for refueling (or reduced downtime). Especially when you consider many of these kind of closed loop areas are being targeted as the first adopters of autonomous trucks with no human drives, as the trucks just drive the same loop from point A to B, and get loaded and unloaded.

Does the cost/benefit make sense today??? Don't know. Could it make sense today or in the future? Absolutely.

BUt still conservatards like T.A Gardner will mock the pursuit of this as simply wishcasting, because it is not proven TODAY. His view being humans should not push the envelop on advancement unless its proven which by default it never is proven until it is tested. That is the loop of stupidity conservatards push and how they MAGA the county. Which is keep the country stucki in the past since they think the past was the best the US can ever be.

Says the conservatards who end mankind's progress from horse buggy to automobiles and ends the pursuit of the airplane, because protypes and engineering drawings are not 'tangible' until they are.


Conservatards have been a drag on humanity since humanity organized into advancing civilizations. They tend to fight all human based advancement based on the principle of 'if i cannot as real and operating today, i do not support pursuing it', while at the same time saying 'ya nothing in the bible or our religion is proven but we believe it all'.

When mankind advances and the world becomes a better place it is DESPITE conservatards. Conserrvatards are to be overcome.

Not an autonomous vehicle. You are only supporting my point.

Who paid for power transmission lines?

Power companies, piece by piece, as people purchased electrical service. The lines are NOT built all at once, or before the electrical service is going to be purchased, moron.

Who paid for railroad tracks?

That depends.

The U.S. government built the first few lines across the United States (with one exception, the only profitable railroad line).
It was a tremendous loss (other than the one exception). Those railroads did NOT make any money until they were sold to private interests.

If metered, then people will wish to invest in electrical lines to vehicles. That is rather straightforward.

Stop deflecting and answer the question:
No, it isn't. How are you going to meter it? Who are you going to meter? Who is going to pay for installing and maintaining these tens of thousands of electrified roadway? Who's going to pay to power them?

Next step:
Who's going to pay to do this to tens of thousands of miles of freeway?
