The durability of electric car batteries is far better than expected. Even in the case of early models with extremely basic battery packs and no active cooling (e.g. Nissan Leaf), the packs almost always outlast the cars they're built into:

Maintenance of EVs in general is far simpler than on ICE cars. There's a much smaller number of components. Almost everything related to the drivetrain is practically maintenance-free.

I bought masks from a toy company (Playmobil) for my family, because there was literally nothing else available anywhere. They were marketed as alternatives to basic paper masks though, not N95 masks:

The innovation was that you could use tissue paper as filters and reuse the silicone mask after cleaning it. They were uncomfortable and stinky, but functional. We used these for about a month or two, long before any vaccines were available. I suspect that social distancing protected us far more than the masks, but either way, none of us got infected.

Stereoscopic camera systems exist and they can work very well (like on my ten year old car).

Seems like you're unlucky. Subaru's system is generally considered one of the best in the industry, routinely outperforming the competition.

Better pick an early electric car, because the days of ICE cars being allowed into cities are numbered.

Meanwhile my ten year old Smart produces just one or two false alerts per year. It's a simple camera-based system, yet it works incredibly well. The lane departure warning works equally well. Both are so effective that I never want to drive a car without these systems again.

She was by far the most qualified presidential candidate in history. You've fallen victim to a smear campaign, but are blissfully unaware of it.

It was Russia that tipped the scale, including by convincing traditionally democratic voters in key states to vote third party or not at all.

It's an inherent issue with deep learning. Awareness of this among people who are regularly using these tools is very low, which is troubling.

Reminder that DNA evidence is nowhere near as flawless of an instrument as portrayed by crime shows and the news media. Like all other forensics, it's a matter of interpretation and likelihoods, far less reliable than you might think. Here's a good overview of the many issues with it:

He didn't have the resources and determination of the Chinese state behind him.

Both reported numbers that were nowhere close to what Qualcomm promised. How not close? Above 50% this time but one used the term “Celeron” to describe performance.

There is no harsher way to describe the performance of a CPU. Ouch.
