Power packed episode! Thanks... I follow these fields closely but you informed me of loads of new stuff...TRULY appreciate it and I'll be adding you to my Patreon contributions! Luv U folks
Thanks Dana, we too TRULY appreciate your contribution and yea we do try to get all of the relevant cleantech news of the week into the episode, with the informational overload, keeping up really can be a full time job 😀
Chanan Bos; I must congratulate you on your improvement of this "news cast". The quality of information AND the quality of presentation improvements. outstanding !!
Thank you Brandon, this is really nice to hear! Could you specify which improvements you liked the most so we can better understand what kind of things to focus on?
With this great amount of research and video editing I'm surprised to hear this is a one man show! Keep up the great work, the support will slowly but surely come! Filipe from Portugal
Great video! I think the tabless battery technology may allow cooling from the end of the battery so larger cells can be cooled nearly as efficiently as smaller cells.
Absolutely, the question is whether that is enough for the million mile drivetrain, better cooling means better lifespan. Like I said hard to say how much the technological improvements tip the scales one way or the other.
The solar story with the panels that can pull back. One use would over industrial facilities where large equipment could be operated under it but sometimes needs the solar out of the way for crane use. We put shade roofs over HVAC electronics in the desert to lower the impact of the intense sun/heat and improve reliability.
I love your news letter, I would like to start doing this in French because they are harder to find and I find myself fighting "urban legends" ( same in English) all the time.
@@cleantechnica Yup, that's a part of their COVID recovery fiscal package.

Great content, and good luck with the channel. One note: the volume goes way up and down between segments... makes it hard to have the vid on in the background and go about one's chores. Also, need to improve audio quality overall.
Thanks! Yea, audio quality and volume levels, I had it all once tuned to perfection then a hard drive broke and those setting were lost, I hope to get around to fixing that in the next few weeks.
Sony is missing a sensor technology that would be very helpful -- infrared sensors. If you live in the country as I do, infrared sensors that would help in spotting wildlife, especially at night, is almost a requirement for autonomous driving in remote regions.
Most cameras are capable of capturing at least the short part of the infrared spectrum, but even for the longer part you still need an infrared light shining on the subject to get infrared signals back. As far as I am aware no autonomous vehicle uses that at the moment.

Buying the powertrain from Tesla would make lots of sense, because that's what Tesla does exceptionally well. In all other aspects of the car Tesla has a lot of catching up to do, but in the powertrain departments, only Koreans got close. But I am slightly worried that Tesla offers this - sounds as if they expect to have excess production capacity. For autopilot (at least where it shads now) I am not so sure. Tesla's _promises_ are certainly ahead of others, but the execution? Not so much.
Yea Tesla could have more supply of Autopilot computers if needed. They can get more 18650 cells and S & X powertrains than they currently have demand for. Also 3 & Y batteries and powertrains could be expanded faster at Giga Nevada if a new contract warrants it. The only reason that GF1 is not growing is becuase it doesn't need to and at the moment they don't want it to, not until they are ready for it.

I heard that Tesla is getting close to level 5 full autonomy by the end of this year. I'm excited and can't wait for our driver less future to arrive. I want a level 5 fully autonomous self driving Tesla, so that I can sleep, text and talk on my phone, be at my destination and go to a bar to have a drink and not have to worry about drunk driving, since the self driving car will be my designated driver and drive me home safely. I hope that Teslas will be less expensive and more affordable to own in a few months.
Hi Patrick. It's a good thing you stumbled upon our channel becuase this is a common misconception. You see what Tesla/Elon meant by saying this is that Autopilot will be feature complete by the end of the year, which means it can do almost all of the things a future RoboTaxi can do but the driver still needs to pay attention. It is likely going to take another few years for the reliability to go from 95% to 99% to reach level 4 and then a few more years to reach 99.999%, where each last fraction of a percent is going to get harder to perfect upon. Unlike some I am hopeful we can stop paying attention in about 5 years based on the new 4D technology Elon described. (this was covered in the last published news show #17) Edit: also keep in mind the statistics is per mile so at 99% something is likely to go wrong after 100 km/mi
@Wolfgang Preier Considering some first hand experience with Autopilot in LA and on German roads, I'm going to disagree about LA taking more time than Munich 😀
No actually I have not been to Munich specifically, though I have been in multiple other German cities and drove through the country's highways numerous times and even with Autopilot one time. I did not realize that the infrastructure in Munich was a lot worse than the rest of Germany. Though it's hard to imagine roads switching from single to double lanes constantly and without line marking on the road like in LA, something Autopilot couldn't handle even though there are so many more Tesla's in California than there are in any other part of the world.
Maybe Sony have good sensors, but that sony speaker you shown was not a good example of a good speaker, in fact that speaker is very poor in quality., I tested it and it was poor sound quality, I’m sure they make a lot better but their are many better speaker manufacturers.
Yea it just looked cool, they do have some fantastic home cinema setups and they basically have the best AV receiver at the moment for sound and features. They also have a ton of good speakers for cars, the list goes on, but hey peope like flashy things, that speaker certainly is that 😀

This man 'gets the ball over the net' in fine fashion and doesn't need nit-picking over pronunciation. /th/ , /r/ vs /l/, /s/ vs /z/, and literally every single vowel sound, are very rarely accurately replicated among EFL/SL speakers.

I'm sure your suggestion has his best interests in mind, but it's unnecessary.
