It's related to IT but we don't have an IT News Thread.
This is pretty amazing but how fast would this be able to write?
In other words, tape will remain relevant for a long time to come.
No doubt about that. IIRC it isn't a volatile media and can last decades in controlled storage.

Now that is a sleek looking car. I'd be interested into looking into it if it hit production.

Just a software governor. Those have been around for decades.

I'm aware :). The proto for this hit 234 mph I believe.

Time to bypass on this thing. I'm not a car guy so this isn't something that I had done before. If they hit production there will be cars on the street capable of 234 mph if they get the fully outfitted version.

I'm not much of a car guy either, but imagine self driving cars all zooming around at 200+ mph.
Wouldn't have to worry about deer at that point. . .

You wouldn't need an ambulance there either, just the morgue.

Or a means of keeping the roads clear of obstacles, and mandated seat belt use before the car moves.

Screw the seat belt. I'm going 5-point harness.

you'd be more worried about self driving cars than deer? why?

"if you're gonna hit a deer, speed up" . . .
Meaning at those speeds, the car, the deer, the everything is toast. . .

Can I go ahead and get the parachute/ejector seat add-on package please?

Much more worried about deer... even going 30-40 mph they can do a ton of damage to a car.

Have you ever seen a motorcyclist hit a deer at 80 mph? The deer is in a lot of pieces and the motorcycle just keeps going.
As for a broad face car... well the deer will still be in a lot of little pieces.... but the car will be totaled as well.

I've had a deer jump into my lap on a motorcycle going ~60. Knocked me off but the bike just coasted and set down in some grass off the side of the road. That was a painful week.
