Seems to be the elf is setting themselves up to receive the human's inheritance money. If they play their cards right they could pull this scam many times

Is this an AI situation

Right, just like people could theoretically buy a vehicle that transports shipping containers but they have no reason to. I guess where consumers do start to interact personally with standardized container sizes are things like aluminum beverage cans. Personally I'd love to see more standardization but companies selling to individual consumers have an urge to make their packaging as unique as possible.

You're right they have a fiduciary duty. I think what the other commenter was saying is that the interpretation of that duty can be twisted into all kinds of shapes. If someone believed in pro social ideas they could make the case that treating workers with respect and growing sustainably is the best way to continue making money. That a shareholder would demand other crueler or more short-sighted policies doesn't mean a legal requirement.

That would be a neat feature. I remember in college which was in the middle of nowhere our professor was trying to promote a bike trail between the two closest towns, because there used to be train tracks going through. Good to get anything, like a recreational path, but I'd prefer transport that serves commuting needs too.

To clarify I'm talking about aesthetics. I'm not defending anything safety wise. But that's an unrelated argument from "it's ugly".

It's clearly an emotionally charged object, which is why in one of my other comments here I said I'd probably accept a pt cruiser instead, just because people make the instant connection between the truck and elon musk.

Fun idea, I hope it works! In the states I don't think there's sufficient abandoned rail that's also near population centers for this to succeed.

The article actually says they're developing a device to transfer them from one track to the other

Taste is subjective so if someone doesn't like it that's valid.

For me, designs are successful based on the impression and experience they give people. The cyber truck to me gives off a futuristic vibe, it's intentional, it's a design that knows what it wants. Minimal polygons, minimal rounded edges. Uncommon material/finish. Visually striking, unique, memorable.

I think the Aztec isn't a good design because it wants to be futuristic but doesn't go far enough. Because it's trying to retain some traditional elements it looks like design by committee.

My impression is the pt cruiser and SSR were intended to be modern takes on retro/classy designs from say, the 50s. In the sense that they're curved they succeed, but the curves are in the wrong places and the curve radiuses are wrong. They look bubbly. They look like toys. The effect is amplified because they don't have a lot of the fine detail that was present on old cars.

Yeah I know some people like it. Only reason it was on my mind was my mom was talking about wanting one the other day and I had to look it up.
