The video 0x0 linked to in another comment describes the likely method used to infer distance to objects without a stereoscopic setup, and why it (likely) had issues determining distance in the cases where they hit motorcycles.

The ridiculous thing is, it has 3 cameras pointing forward, you only need 2 to get stereoscopic depth perception with cameras...why the fuck are they not using that!?

Edit: I mean, I know why, it's because it's cameras with three different lenses used for different things (normal, wide angle, and telescopic) so they're not suitable for it, but it just seems stupid to not utilise that concept when you insist on a camera only solution.

AFAIK gadgetbridge is not even close to a replacement WRT functionality? Last I checked it only supported basic data import, has that changed?

a new crime of inciting use of pirate IPTV services or software.

This one is particularly nasty, because simply suggesting to someone that pirate IPTV exists can be used to incriminate people that haven't even done anything wrong. Regardless of your view on piracy, merely discussing something should never put you at risk of criminal charges.

Probably not, but not many (if any) do it to the extent of the chinese.

Lyckily it was only a loaner I had for a little more than a week.

It's the 75kW on a DC charger thats slow, decade old cars are getting better speeds than that and cars a couple of years old are 200kW+ on DC with some peaking at 300kW.

The 7kW AC charging is also annoying because they limit it by using single phase charging, especially if you're in a country where 32A single phase current is not normal in residential areas. Then you're limited to 16A which is only 3.5kW, meaning you can barely charge it in a night. There is just no good reason to do single phase charging on new cars.

I could also live with low range, as you said it's intentional to keep battery price low. But the damn charging speed is also bad, which is arguably more important than a large battery and doesn't impose the same price increase as a large battery.

Regarding driver assistances like TACC, I'm not sure how you could be satisfied with it's performance at all, it is by far the worst I've ever tried.

He said it was under ฿1M Which is $30,000 US. I was shocked.

That's what heavily state subsidised and controlled manufacturing will get you. Not saying it's bad, but it is just the reason they're so cheap compared to many other brands that are not subsidised as heavily from their government.

I've only tried the peugeot 208 electric version, but my God is it an absolutely shit vehicle. Terrible range, terrible charging speed (much bigger issue than the limited range), bad driver assistances. Their TACC is about the worst I've tried with random phantom brakes all the time and poor reaction time (both reducing and increasing speed). All in all it feels much cheaper than it actually is, which is too bad.

Except that, despite their usual MO, they did actually fix it so people didn't need to buy new devices.
