Yum said the technologies developed in partnership with Nvidia will focus on three areas: drive-thru and call-center voice AI, computer vision to analyze operations and AI analytics at the restaurant level.
That second one is disturbing.
If I was taking an emergency long trip… I’d probably buy a plane ticket?
I’ve only had my EV about 2 months; but for all the driving I’ve done (even thinking back over the past few years) it’s more than sufficient. With 2 kids and a house; long trips in the car are pretty rare. And the ones I’ve taken we need 30+ min stops every 2-3 hours anyway: for food, bathrooms, and just keeping the kids happy.
Shout out to Buccee’s for putting in a ton of chargers! They realized people will spend money inside if they have to stop for 20-30 min anyway. The gas customers are stopped that long and spending that money as well anyway it seems!
I’m super happy with it and kind of wish I bought one sooner (but, part of what made me buy now was a great deal on a used one). No regrets!
Good read. I’ve not heard of this site before, so now I’ll check out some of their older stuff! Looks like a few years of content history to browse 🙂.
Thanks for sharing!
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Sometimes called “Extended Range Electric Vehicles”. TLDR: has a smallish battery you can plug in and charge that gives you something like 30 to 50 miles of range. Then a gas engine to use when the battery is low.
It’s a good option for anyone who has limited daily driving and the ability to charge overnight. Sadly they’re pretty rare. People will complain about “paying for 2 drivetrains” but cost-wise and feature-wise they make a lot of sense for people with occasional needs to drive longer distances.
If you search on cars.com it’s a filter option under “fuel type”. For my zip code there’s currently 3.9K hybrid, 2.4K electric and only 19(!) plug-in hybrid listed.
