As Elon Musk pushes driverless cars, one company is already testing autonomous helicopters to spray crops and fight fires

Posted by in categories: drones, Elon Musk, food, robotics/AI

The heart-stopping flights led to his research of unmanned aircraft systems while getting his doctorate degree in aerospace engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Then, he formed Rotor Technologies in 2021 to develop unmanned helicopters.

Rotor has built two autonomous Sprayhawks and aims to have as many as 20 ready for market next year. The company also is developing helicopters that would carry cargo in disaster zones and to offshore oil rigs. The helicopter could also be used https://apnews.com/article/wildfire-season-2024-firefighters…2e4c66fd7” rel=“noopener”>to fight wildfires.

For now, Rotor is focused on the agriculture sector, which has embraced automation with drones but sees unmanned helicopters as a better way to spray larger areas with pesticides and fertilizers.

Tesla Rolls Out Major FSD Update with Neural Network Shift

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, transportation

Tesla began rolling out a significant update to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software on Saturday, shifting the city-streets driving system to a single, end-to-end neural network model in FSD version 12.5.6.3.

Last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company’s FSD technology “is now almost entirely AI.” In early October, Musk had stated that FSD “will soon exceed 10,000 miles between critical interventions, which is a year of driving for most people.”

The Kardashev Scale: Type 1 To Type 7 Civilizations And Reverse Scale

Discovering Advanced Civilizations: Type 1 To 7 And Minus 0 To Minus 3: How Far Can We Go?
he kardashev scale type From Type 1 To 7 And Theand Reverse Scale: How Far Can We Go?
The Kardashev scale is a method used to determine a civilization’s technological advancement, which divides civilizations into three types, with type 1 being the simplest civilization of all.
The civilization created by the human race is not yet advanced enough to be considered a type 1 civilization. How long until we reach that classification? Stay to find out.
“Introduction“
Astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev developed the Kardashev scale in 1964 to determine some characteristics that would facilitate the search for extraterrestrial life.
After analyzing several conditions in the history of the human race, Kardashev realized that there is a need that grows as civilization does, energy.
As the human race has expanded worldwide, so needs for energy.
Suppose this is inherent in all species that become an intelligent race. In that case, a hypothetical race of aliens who come to forge a civilization as significant or more extensive than that of humans will eventually also have an energy deficit.
To solve this energy need, an extraterrestrial race must develop technologies to meet the demand for energy needed to sustain all members of their civilization.
Kardashev theorized that in this sense, there must be 3 types of civilizations:
Type 1: A civilization that can harness all the energy its home planet gives them.
Type 2: A civilization that can harness the energy of its entire solar system.
Type 3: A civilization that can harness all the energy provided by the galaxy it is in.

“A type VII or K7 civilization would travel, transcend and ultimately oversee or ”be” the Omniverse which is the collection of every single universe, multiverse, megaverse, paraverse, 11d dimension, and 1st realm (reality). Everything is in the Omniverse, and there is only one Omniverse.” In other words, such a civilization would be as closest as godly as possible.
However, the achievement of a type 7 civilization will only be the end of a very long process of technological advancement and connection with the cosmos. To get there, we would first need to go to all the other civilization types that make up the scale. Let’s see what they consist of.

Elon Musk: How Trump’s presidency could benefit the Tesla boss

Posted by in categories: economics, Elon Musk, sustainability, transportation

He has frequently voiced concerns over the Biden administration’s approach to immigration and the economy, and claimed free speech would be at risk with another Democrat presidency.

As one of the president-elect’s most important backers, the tech billionaire donated more than $119m (£92m) to fund a Super PAC aimed at re-electing Trump.

He also spent the last weeks before election day running a get-out-the-vote effort in the battleground states, which included a daily giveaway of $1m to voters in those states.
