Cleantech has an enshittification problem

On July 14, I'm giving the closing keynote for the fifteenth HACKERS ON PLANET EARTH, in QUEENS, NY. Happy Bastille Day! On July 20, I'm appearing in CHICAGO at Exile in Bookville.

EVs won't save the planet. Ultimately, the material bill for billions of individual vehicles and the unavoidable geometry of more cars-more traffic-more roads-greater distances-more cars dictate that the future of our cities and planet requires public transit – lots of it.

But no matter how much public transit we install, there's always going to be some personal vehicles on the road, and not just bikes, ebikes and scooters. Between deliveries, accessibility, and stubbornly low-density regions, there's going to be a lot of cars, vans and trucks on the road for the foreseeable future, and these should be electric.

Beyond that irreducible minimum of personal vehicles, there's the fact that individuals can't install their own public transit system; in places that lack the political will or means to create working transit, EVs are a way for people to significantly reduce their personal emissions.

In policy circles, EV adoption is treated as a logistical and financial issue, so governments have focused on making EVs affordable and increasing the density of charging stations. As an EV owner, I can affirm that affordability and logistics were important concerns when we were shopping for a car.

But there's a third EV problem that is almost entirely off policy radar: enshittification.

An EV is a rolling computer in a fancy case with a squishy person inside of it. While this can sound scary, there are lots of cool implications for this. For example, your EV could download your local power company's tariff schedule and preferentially charge itself when the rates are lowest; they could also coordinate with the utility to reduce charging when loads are peaking. You can start them with your phone. Your repair technician can run extensive remote diagnostics on them and help you solve many problems from the road. New features can be delivered over the air.

That's just for starters, but there's so much more in the future. After all, the signal virtue of a digital computer is its flexibility. The only computer we know how to make is the Turing complete, universal, Von Neumann machine, which can run every valid program. If a feature is computationally tractable – from automated parallel parking to advanced collision prevention – it can run on a car.

The problem is that this digital flexibility presents a moral hazard to EV manufacturers. EVs are designed to make any kind of unauthorized, owner-selected modification into an IP rights violation ("IP" in this case is "any law that lets me control the conduct of my customers or competitors"):

https://locusmag.com/2020/09/cory-doctorow-ip/

EVs are also designed so that the manufacturer can unilaterally exert control over them or alter their operation. EVs – even more than conventional vehicles – are designed to be remotely killswitched in order to help manufacturers and dealers pressure people into paying their car notes on time:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon

Manufacturers can reach into your car and change how much of your battery you can access:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/28/edison-not-tesla/#demon-haunted-world

They can lock your car and have it send its location to a repo man, then greet him by blinking its lights, honking its horn, and pulling out of its parking space:

https://tiremeetsroad.com/2021/03/18/tesla-allegedly-remotely-unlocks-model-3-owners-car-uses-smart-summon-to-help-repo-agent/

And of course, they can detect when you've asked independent mechanic to service your car and then punish you by degrading its functionality:

https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2024/06/26/two-of-eight-claims-in-tesla-anti-trust-lawsuit-will-move-forward/

This is "twiddling" – unilaterally and irreversibly altering the functionality of a product or service, secure in the knowledge that IP law will prevent anyone from twiddling back by restoring the gadget to a preferred configuration:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/19/twiddler/

The thing is, for an EV, twiddling is the best case scenario. As bad as it is for the company that made your EV to change how it works whenever they feel like picking your pocket, that's infinitely preferable to the manufacturer going bankrupt and bricking your car.

That's what just happened to owners of Fisker EVs, cars that cost $40-70k. Cars are long-term purchases. An EV should last 12-20 years, or even longer if you pay to swap the battery pack. Fisker was founded in 2016 and shipped its first Ocean SUV in 2023. The company is now bankrupt:

https://insideevs.com/news/723669/fisker-inc-bankruptcy-chapter-11-official/

Fisker called its vehicles "software-based cars" and they weren't kidding. Without continuous software updates and server access, those Fisker Ocean SUVs are turning into bricks. What's more, the company designed the car from the ground up to make any kind of independent service and support into a felony, by wrapping the whole thing in overlapping layers of IP. That means that no one can step in with a module that jailbreaks the Fisker and drops in an alternative firmware that will keep the fleet rolling.

This is the third EV risk – not just finance, not just charger infrastructure, but the possibility that any whizzy, cool new EV company will go bust and brick your $70k cleantech investment, irreversibly transforming your car into 5,500 lb worth of e-waste.

This confers a huge advantage onto the big automakers like VW, Kia, Ford, etc. Tesla gets a pass, too, because it achieved critical mass before people started to wise up to the risk of twiddling and bricking. If you're making a serious investment in a product you expect to use for 20 years, are you really gonna buy it from a two-year old startup with six months' capital in the bank?

The incumbency advantage here means that the big automakers won't have any reason to sink a lot of money into R&D, because they won't have to worry about hungry startups with cool new ideas eating their lunches. They can maintain the cozy cartel that has seen cars stagnate for decades, with the majority of "innovation" taking the form of shitty, extractive and ill-starred ideas like touchscreen controls and an accelerator pedal that you have to rent by the month:

https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/23/23474969/mercedes-car-subscription-faster-acceleration-feature-price

Put that way, it's clear that this isn't an EV problem, it's a cleantech problem. Cleantech has all the problems of EVs: it requires a large capital expenditure, it will be "smart," and it is expected to last for decades. That's rooftop solar, heat-pumps, smart thermostat sensor arrays, and home storage batteries.

And just as with EVs, policymakers have focused on infrastructure and affordability without paying any attention to the enshittification risks. Your rooftop solar will likely be controlled via a Solaredge box – a terrible technology that stops working if it can't reach the internet for a protracted period (that's right, your home solar stops working if the grid fails!).

I found this out the hard way during the covid lockdowns, when Solaredge terminated its 3G cellular contract and notified me that I would have to replace the modem in my system or it would stop working. This was at the height of the supply-chain crisis and there was a long waiting list for any replacement modems, with wifi cards (that used your home internet rather than a cellular connection) completely sold out for most of a year.

There are good reasons to connect rooftop solar arrays to the internet – it's not just so that Solaredge can enshittify my service. Solar arrays that coordinate with the grid can make it much easier and safer to manage a grid that was designed for centralized power production and is being retrofitted for distributed generation, one roof at a time.

But when the imperatives of extraction and efficiency go to war, extraction always wins. After all, the Solaredge system is already in place and solar installers are largely ignorant of, and indifferent to, the reasons that a homeowner might want to directly control and monitor their system via local controls that don't roundtrip through the cloud.

Somewhere in the hindbrain of any prospective solar purchaser is the experience with bricked and enshittified "smart" gadgets, and the knowledge that anything they buy from a cool startup with lots of great ideas for improving production, monitoring, and/or costs poses the risk of having your 20 year investment bricked after just a few years – and, thanks to the extractive imperative, no one will be able to step in and restore your ex-solar array to good working order.

I make the majority of my living from books, which means that my pay is very "lumpy" – I get large sums when I publish a book and very little in between. For many years, I've used these payments to make big purchases, rather than financing them over long periods where I can't predict my income. We've used my book payments to put in solar, then an induction stove, then a battery. We used one to buy out the lease on our EV. And just a month ago, we used the money from my upcoming Enshittification book to put in a heat pump (with enough left over to pay for a pair of long-overdue cataract surgeries, scheduled for the fall).

When we started shopping for heat pumps, it was clear that this was a very exciting sector. First of all, heat pumps are kind of magic, so efficient and effective it's almost surreal. But beyond the basic tech – which has been around since the late 1940s – there is a vast ferment of cool digital features coming from exciting and innovative startups.

By nature, I'm the kid of person who likes these digital features. I started out as a computer programmer, and while I haven't written production code since the previous millennium, I've been in and around the tech industry for my whole adult life. But when it came time to buy a heat-pump – an investment that I expected to last for 20 years or more – there was no way I was going to buy one of these cool new digitally enhanced pumps, no matter how much the reviewers loved them. Sure, they'd work well, but it's precisely because I'm so knowledgeable about high tech that I could see that they would fail very, very badly.

You may think EVs are bullshit, and they are – though there will always be room for some personal vehicles, and it's better for people in transit deserts to drive EVs than gas-guzzlers. You may think rooftop solar is a dead-end and be all-in on utility scale solar (I think we need both, especially given the grid-disrupting extreme climate events on our horizon). But there's still a wide range of cleantech – induction tops, heat pumps, smart thermostats – that are capital intensive, have a long duty cycle, and have good reasons to be digitized and networked.

Take home storage batteries: your utility can push its rate card to your battery every time they change their prices, and your battery can use that information to decide when to let your house tap into the grid, and when to switch over to powering your home with the solar you've stored up during the day. This is a very old and proven pattern in tech: the old Fidonet BBS network used a version of this, with each BBS timing its calls to other nodes to coincide with the cheapest long-distance rates, so that messages for distant systems could be passed on:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet

Cleantech is a very dynamic sector, even if its triumphs are largely unheralded. There's a quiet revolution underway in generation, storage and transmission of renewable power, and a complimentary revolution in power-consumption in vehicles and homes:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/06/12/s-curve/#anything-that-cant-go-on-forever-eventually-stops

But cleantech is too important to leave to the incumbents, who are addicted to enshittification and planned obsolescence. These giant, financialized firms lack the discipline and culture to make products that have the features – and cost savings – to make them appealing to the very wide range of buyers who must transition as soon as possible, for the sake of the very planet.

It's not enough for our policymakers to focus on financing and infrastructure barriers to cleantech adoption. We also need a policy-level response to enshittification.

Ideally, every cleantech device would be designed so that it was impossible to enshittify – which would also make it impossible to brick:

Based on free software (best), or with source code escrowed with a trustee who must release the code if the company enters administration (distant second-best);

All patents in a royalty-free patent-pool (best); or in a trust that will release them into a royalty-free pool if the company enters administration (distant second-best);

No parts-pairing or other DRM permitted (best); or with parts-pairing utilities available to all parties on a reasonable and non-discriminatory basis (distant second-best);

All diagnostic and error codes in the public domain, with all codes in the clear within the device (best); or with decoding utilities available on demand to all comers on a reasonable and non-discriminatory basis (distant second-best).

There's an obvious business objection to this: it will reduce investment in innovative cleantech because investors will perceive these restrictions as limits on the expected profits of their portfolio companies. It's true: these measures are designed to prevent rent-extraction and other enshittificatory practices by cleantech companies, and to the extent that investors are counting on enshittification rents, this might prevent them from investing.

But that has to be balanced against the way that a general prohibition on enshittificatory practices will inspire consumer confidence in innovative and novel cleantech products, because buyers will know that their investments will be protected over the whole expected lifespan of the product, even if the startup goes bust (nearly every startup goes bust). These measures mean that a company with a cool product will have a much larger customer-base to sell to. Those additional sales more than offset the loss of expected revenue from cheating and screwing your customers by twiddling them to death.

There's also an obvious legal objection to this: creating these policies will require a huge amount of action from Congress and the executive branch, a whole whack of new rules and laws to make them happen, and each will attract court-challenges.

That's also true, though it shouldn't stop us from trying to get legal reforms. As a matter of public policy, it's terrible and fucked up that companies can enshittify the things we buy and leave us with no remedy.

However, we don't have to wait for legal reform to make this work. We can take a shortcut with procurement – the things governments buy with public money. The feds, the states and localities buy a lot of cleantech: for public facilities, for public housing, for public use. Prudent public policy dictates that governments should refuse to buy any tech unless it is designed to be enshittification-resistant.

This is an old and honorable tradition in policymaking. Lincoln insisted that the rifles he bought for the Union Army come with interoperable tooling and ammo, for obvious reasons. No one wants to be the Commander in Chief who shows up on the battlefield and says, "Sorry, boys, war's postponed, our sole supplier decided to stop making ammunition."

By creating a market for enshittification-proof cleantech, governments can ensure that the public always has the option of buying an EV that can't be bricked even if the maker goes bust, a heat-pump whose digital features can be replaced or maintained by a third party of your choosing, a solar controller that coordinates with the grid in ways that serve their owners – not the manufacturers' shareholders.

We're going to have to change a lot to survive the coming years. Sure, there's a lot of scary ways that things can go wrong, but there's plenty about our world that should change, and plenty of ways those changes could be for the better. It's not enough for policymakers to focus on ensuring that we can afford to buy whatever badly thought-through, extractive tech the biggest companies want to foist on us – we also need a focus on making cleantech fit for purpose, truly smart, reliable and resilient.

THE WORLD'S FIRST ELECTRIC ROLLER COASTER

Granville T. Woods (April 23, 1856 – January 30, 1910) introduced the “Figure Eight,” the world's first electric roller coaster, in 1892 at Coney Island Amusement Park in New York. Woods patented the invention in 1893, and in 1901, he sold it to General Electric.

Woods was an American inventor who held more than 50 patents in the United States. He was the first African American mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War. Self-taught, he concentrated most of his work on trains and streetcars.

In 1884, Woods received his first patent, for a steam boiler furnace, and in 1885, Woods patented an apparatus that was a combination of a telephone and a telegraph. The device, which he called "telegraphony", would allow a telegraph station to send voice and telegraph messages through Morse code over a single wire. He sold the rights to this device to the American Bell Telephone Company.

In 1887, he patented the Synchronous Multiplex Railway Telegraph, which allowed communications between train stations from moving trains by creating a magnetic field around a coiled wire under the train. Woods caught smallpox prior to patenting the technology, and Lucius Phelps patented it in 1884. In 1887, Woods used notes, sketches, and a working model of the invention to secure the patent. The invention was so successful that Woods began the Woods Electric Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, to market and sell his patents. However, the company quickly became devoted to invention creation until it was dissolved in 1893.

Woods often had difficulties in enjoying his success as other inventors made claims to his devices. Thomas Edison later filed a claim to the ownership of this patent, stating that he had first created a similar telegraph and that he was entitled to the patent for the device. Woods was twice successful in defending himself, proving that there were no other devices upon which he could have depended or relied upon to make his device. After Thomas Edison's second defeat, he decided to offer Granville Woods a position with the Edison Company, but Woods declined.

In 1888, Woods manufactured a system of overhead electric conducting lines for railroads modeled after the system pioneered by Charles van Depoele, a famed inventor who had by then installed his electric railway system in thirteen United States cities.

Following the Great Blizzard of 1888, New York City Mayor Hugh J. Grant declared that all wires, many of which powered the above-ground rail system, had to be removed and buried, emphasizing the need for an underground system. Woods's patent built upon previous third rail systems, which were used for light rails, and increased the power for use on underground trains. His system relied on wire brushes to make connections with metallic terminal heads without exposing wires by installing electrical contactor rails. Once the train car had passed over, the wires were no longer live, reducing the risk of injury. It was successfully tested in February 1892 in Coney Island on the Figure Eight Roller Coaster.

In 1896, Woods created a system for controlling electrical lights in theaters, known as the "safety dimmer", which was economical, safe, and efficient, saving 40% of electricity use.

Woods is also sometimes credited with the invention of the air brake for trains in 1904; however, George Westinghouse patented the air brake almost 40 years prior, making Woods's contribution an improvement to the invention.

Woods died of a cerebral hemorrhage at Harlem Hospital in New York City on January 30, 1910, having sold a number of his devices to such companies as Westinghouse, General Electric, and American Engineering. Until 1975, his resting place was an unmarked grave, but historian M.A. Harris helped raise funds, persuading several of the corporations that used Woods's inventions to donate money to purchase a headstone. It was erected at St. Michael's Cemetery in Elmhurst, Queens.

LEGACY

▪Baltimore City Community College established the Granville T. Woods scholarship in memory of the inventor.

▪In 2004, the New York City Transit Authority organized an exhibition on Woods that utilized bus and train depots and an issue of four million MetroCards commemorating the inventor's achievements in pioneering the third rail.

▪In 2006, Woods was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

▪In April 2008, the corner of Stillwell and Mermaid Avenues in Coney Island was named Granville T. Woods Way.

a totally original shower thoughts video - script

I have a personal vendetta against the number 7. It’s the oddest of the odd single digit numbers. It’s just… there. That, and it’s the only single digit number, other than zero, with two syllables. I remember as a kid, hating it when a number was something like seven hundred, seven thousand, seventeen. It just felt crowded. But I suppose it’s a hopeless endeavor to hate it. It’s not like I can change it.

But what about hopeless? I think it’s the most despicable word in the English language.

Not because of some arbitrary linguistic property. But because of what it means, and the fact that humanity has deemed it necessary to express its meaning. That suffering perpetrates life in such a way to extinguish, however temporarily, a person’s hope.

What about the obviously dumb words? Like how we park on driveways, and drive on parkways. Shipments are carried in trucks or cars, but cargo is carried on ships.

Or what about discombobulate? Well actually, that one makes sense. It means to stun or confuse, and I pretty much always feel that way when faced with that word.

And then there’s taradiddle. This more or less means that something’s pretentious. Does that mean that my entire personality is taradiddlous? Taradiddleful? Taradiddliousious?

Have you ever looked out your window in the morning and seen canines and felines plummeting from the heavens? No? Then why is “it’s raining cats and dogs” a phrase? And what about buckets, and striking them with our feet, makes us think of death? And is breaking your leg not the worst case scenario during a performance? Why do we wish that upon others?

English is a giant… joke.

Speaking of falling animals, why do we say we are falling in love? What about a growing fondness for someone, makes us think of helplessly succumbing to gravity? Maybe it’s something to do with the duality of falling. How, thanks to relativity, falling is indistinguishable from floating, other than the air rushing past you.

This is because gravity is not a force within the universe, but a distortion of the universe itself. All lines are straight lines, except where gravity bends the space those lines occupy. This is also due to how acceleration works, and how movement is irrelevant without a reference frame. Long story short, we say we’re falling in love, because we also feel like we’re floating. We feel free. Yet we’re reminded of how helpless we are in the things we can’t control. Love is not a thought. It’s not something you have conscious control of. You will love, whether you like it or not.

Gravity is all fine and dandy, until someone wants to get off the planet. That someone being a selfish billionaire whose only goal is self preservation and destroying twitter. But I digress. It’s so interesting, how there are so many jobs, whose workers hope for the worst. Phone companies love it when you break your phone. Or when its ability to function correctly suddenly drops, due to no fault of the manufacturer. Or how cops want people to commit crimes to fill their quotas. Mostly people who are already in desperate situations, totally not systemically by design. Mechanics want your car to have problems, so they can charge you extra for repairs you didn’t even know you needed.

Going back to that billionaire that ruined twitter, he wants to install chips in people’s heads. Supposedly, to allow people to use technology just by thinking about it. Which I guess is cool. Except when you realize that we already have brain to technology interfaces. They’re called our hands, using keyboards, or controllers, or touchscreens. I swear he’s like a League Of Legends player, trying to get his input lag down to zero.

Speaking of video games, some games can be kind of like therapy for people. Just a way to escape the world, or be a cuddly wholesome environment to make your own. Others, however, might make you need therapy, with how dark and gritty their worlds are. All forms of media can inform us of who we are and what we care about. Others are just fun, and you shouldn’t really think much more about it.

Some may say that getting entrenched in a story can be meaningless. You’re just wasting your time in a fantasy land you’ll never visit. But they forget that these worlds are inspired by our own. Or are idealistic versions of the world we inhabit. Maybe it’s not so bad to hope for our world to look a little more like the one on the screen or between the pages. I don’t think it’s ever a bad thing to hope.

Now if someone can make a world where the number 7 doesn’t exist, you’ll know where to find me.

A Comprehensive Guide to Flat Towing and Dinghy Towing.

by Richard Gastmeier Dinghy towing, is a popular method for RV enthusiasts who want to bring a secondary vehicle along for their travels. Having a smaller car available while your motorhome is parked can add flexibility and convenience to your journey..... What is Dinghy Towing? Dinghy towing, sometimes known as flat towing or four-down towing, is a popular method for RV enthusiasts who want to bring a secondary vehicle along for their travels. Whether for quick trips into town or exploring off-the-beaten-path areas, having a smaller car available while your motorhome is parked can add flexibility and convenience to your journey. I've spent years traveling the country in my RV, and dinghy towing has been a game-changer, allowing me to enjoy the best of both worlds—comfortable RV living and the mobility of a smaller car. As an RV parts specialist, I've helped many customers configure complete dinghy towing systems. In this article, I will explain dinghy towing, covering the different types of towing methods, essential components, and safety considerations. Whether you’re a seasoned RVer or just starting, understanding dinghy towing can significantly enhance your travel experience. Types of Dinghy Towing Two main methods are widely used for dinghy towing: flat towing (four wheels down) and a tow dolly. Each has its advantages and drawbacks, and the right choice depends on your specific needs, the type of vehicle you’re towing, and your comfort level with the equipment. With some vehicles, you may not be able to flat tow. This is usually true with front wheel drive vehicles. Flat Towing (Four Wheels Down) Flat towing involves pulling a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, connected to the RV by a tow bar. This method is often favored for its simplicity and ease of setup. I remember the first time I set up my Jeep for flat towing; I was amazed at how quickly I could hook it up and be ready to hit the road. Pros of Flat Towing: - Ease of Use: After the initial setup, connecting and disconnecting the vehicle is straightforward and quick. - Minimal Equipment: A trailer or dolly is not needed; just a tow bar and a base plate installed on the towed vehicle are all that you need. - Maneuverability: The towed vehicle tracks directly behind the RV, making maneuvering in tight spaces and on winding roads easier. Cons of Flat Towing: - Vehicle Compatibility: Not all vehicles can be flat towed; checking the manufacturer’s guidelines is crucial to ensure compatibility. Incompatible vehicles might suffer damage to their transmission or drivetrain. - Wear and Tear: Even though the vehicle is in neutral, the tires and some mechanical parts are still subjected to wear.....

Exploring Automatic Car Parking Barrier Prices in Bangladesh: A Comprehensive Guide

As urbanization and vehicle ownership continue to rise in Bangladesh, the demand for efficient parking management solutions has also increased. One of the most popular and effective methods for controlling access to parking spaces is through automatic car parking barriers. These systems help to streamline traffic, improve security, and optimize space usage, particularly in busy commercial, residential, or institutional areas.

If you're considering investing in an automatic car parking barrier system in Bangladesh, it's important to understand the factors that influence their pricing, the types of systems available, and their benefits. In this guide, we’ll delve into the various aspects that affect the price of automatic car parking barriers in Bangladesh and provide insights to help you make an informed decision.

What is an Automatic Car Parking Barrier?

An automatic car parking barrier is a mechanized gate, usually installed at parking lots, garages, or private driveways, to regulate and control vehicular access. These barriers are typically operated electronically, and they can be integrated with various access control systems like RFID cards, remote controls, license plate recognition (LPR) systems, or even mobile apps. The barrier is designed to lift when authorized access is granted and lower after the vehicle passes, ensuring only authorized personnel or vehicles can enter.

Key Factors Influencing the Price of Automatic Car Parking Barriers in Bangladesh

Type of System and FeaturesAutomatic car parking barriers come in various types and configurations, each with different features and functionalities. The price of the system largely depends on the complexity of its features. Basic barriers, which function with remote controls or simple card readers, tend to be more affordable. However, more advanced systems, such as those integrated with LPR (License Plate Recognition) technology, ticketing systems, or sensors, command higher prices due to their additional functionalities.

Material Quality and DurabilityThe material used to manufacture the barrier is another significant price determinant. Barriers made from high-quality, durable materials like stainless steel are more expensive than those made from plastic or lower-grade metals. However, investing in a robust barrier ensures long-term durability, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacements, which can offset the higher initial cost.

Installation and Setup CostsThe complexity of installation plays a role in determining the overall cost. Some parking barriers are simple to install, while others require professional expertise, especially if they are connected to access control systems, sensors, or software for tracking and monitoring. In Bangladesh, installation services might be offered as a package with the purchase, or it may incur additional charges depending on the vendor.

Brand and WarrantyWell-known, trusted brands often charge more for their products because of their proven track record in terms of performance, durability, and service. While the initial investment may be higher, customers can benefit from extended warranties, reliable after-sales support, and lower maintenance costs in the long run. Lesser-known brands may offer cheaper alternatives but might not provide the same level of reliability.

CustomizationSome businesses or institutions require customized parking barrier solutions tailored to specific needs, such as branding, color schemes, or integration with existing security systems. Customization typically adds to the cost since it requires additional engineering and manufacturing work.

Import vs. Local ManufacturingIn Bangladesh, the availability of locally manufactured parking barriers can provide a cost advantage compared to imported systems. Imported barriers from countries like China, Europe, or the USA might come with higher price tags due to shipping, import duties, and taxes. Locally manufactured barriers can be more affordable, and many suppliers now offer products that meet international standards.

Average Price Range of Automatic Car Parking Barriers in Bangladesh

As of 2023, the price range of automatic car parking barriers in Bangladesh varies significantly based on the factors mentioned above. On average, you can expect the following price ranges:

Basic Barrier Systems: These typically cost between BDT 35,000 and BDT 60,000. These systems include simple remote-controlled or manually operated barriers with basic access control features.

Mid-range Barrier Systems: These are priced between BDT 60,000 and BDT 150,000. They may include advanced access control technologies such as RFID card readers, sensors, or ticketing systems.

High-end Barrier Systems: For premium parking barriers with advanced features such as automatic license plate recognition (LPR), long-range RFID, and integrated software solutions, prices can range from BDT 150,000 to BDT 300,000 or more, depending on the level of customization and technology integration.

Where to Buy Automatic Car Parking Barriers in Bangladesh

Navigating the Legal Landscape When Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems Fail

We've all seen the commercials: cars that practically drive themselves, weaving through traffic and parallel parking with ease. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are rapidly changing how we interact with vehicles. The National Safety Council notes that ADAS technology can save around 20,841 lives annually, accounting for almost 62% of all traffic fatalities. Lane-keeping assist saves 14,844 lives, while pedestrian automatic braking saves an additional 4,106. These devices significantly improve traffic safety by lowering deaths. But what happens when these systems fail, leading to an accident? The legal landscape surrounding ADAS malfunctions is complex and evolving. This article will equip you with the knowledge to navigate a situation where ADAS lets you down. Understanding Liability According to Trucks, Parts, Service, frequent vehicle use can cause ADAS parts to malfunction or deteriorate. For instance, problems with the chassis harness, such as friction, can impact wheel speed sensors, whereas sensor failure may result from wheel-end maintenance. In addition, sensors such as the yaw rate or steering angle sensor may become misaligned or miscalibrated. The core question in an ADAS malfunction accident is who's to blame: the driver or the technology? Traditionally, drivers have a legal duty to operate their vehicles safely. This means maintaining control, staying alert, and intervening when necessary. However, the lines blur with ADAS features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning becoming increasingly sophisticated. Determining liability hinges on factors like the ADAS features engaged at the time of the accident, driver actions, and the cause of the malfunction. For instance, if a driver relies solely on adaptive cruise control to maintain speed and rear-ends another car, they might be liable. Conversely, the manufacturer could be liable if a malfunctioning automatic emergency braking system fails to stop the vehicle despite an apparent obstacle. Preserving Evidence In the aftermath of an ADAS-related accident, securing evidence is crucial. Modern vehicles are essentially rolling computers, collecting a wealth of data that can be vital in reconstructing accidents. Precedence Research highlights that the rise of connected cars has led to a significant increase in data generation. This surge in data necessitates advanced management solutions within the automotive industry. This data can include ADAS system logs detailing what features were engaged and sensor readings that capture the vehicle's surroundings. It can also include video recordings from dashcams or driver-monitoring systems. Act promptly to contact a tow truck or mechanic who can preserve this data before it's overwritten or deleted automatically. This data can be the key to proving your case, so don't delay securing it. Navigating Local Laws ADAS technology is rapidly evolving, and legal frameworks are struggling to keep pace. There are no uniform federal regulations governing ADAS liability in the United States. Instead, individual states have enacted laws with varying degrees of clarity on who bears responsibility in an ADAS malfunction accident. For example, TIME Magazine notes that in Missouri, which follows a traditional "at-fault" system, the injured party must prove negligence to seek compensation. If your ADAS malfunctions and causes an accident, you must demonstrate that the system failed to operate as intended. TorHoerman Law notes that it's important to remember that these are state-level laws that can vary even within a state. While Missouri has a blanket "fault" system, some municipalities within the state might have additional regulations specific to ADAS. For instance, cities like St. Louis might have ordinances requiring specific disclosures from car dealerships regarding ADAS limitations. Therefore, consulting a St. Louis car accident attorney familiar with ADAS-related accidents in your area is crucial. They can guide you through state-specific legalities and local regulations that may apply in your city or county. This will ensure you have the best possible chance of a successful outcome in the event of an ADAS malfunction accident. Advocating for Clearer ADAS Regulations As ADAS technology develops, legal frameworks must adapt to ensure fairness and accountability. Industry stakeholders, consumer advocates, and lawmakers must work together to establish clear and comprehensive federal regulations that set liability standards for ADAS malfunctions. These regulations should address data privacy, system limitations, and manufacturer responsibility. Additionally, increased transparency from car manufacturers regarding ADAS limitations and data collection practices is crucial for consumer safety and informed decision-making. Consumers deserve to know exactly what these systems can and cannot do and how their data is used. We can ensure a safer future for everyone on the road by advocating for clear regulations and fostering transparency. FAQs What is the problem with ADAS? ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) can sometimes misinterpret sensor data, leading to false alerts or inadequate responses. These systems depend on high-quality sensor data, which can be affected by weather or road conditions. This can compromise safety and reliability. What is the difference between the two types of fault? Faults in ADAS can be categorized as sensor faults or algorithm faults. Sensor faults occur when the hardware fails to accurately capture environmental data, while algorithm faults happen when the software processes the data incorrectly. Both types affect the system’s overall performance and safety. How does a car collect data? Cars collect data through various sensors, including cameras, radar, and lidar, which monitor the vehicle’s surroundings. This data is processed in real-time by onboard computers to assist in navigation, safety, and driving assistance. The information is then used to make informed decisions and enhance vehicle performance. The rise of ADAS presents a legal tightrope walk. While these systems offer undeniable safety benefits, their complexities blur traditional liability lines. Navigating ADAS malfunction accidents requires securing crucial data and legal expertise specific to your location. Ultimately, ensuring a safe future with ADAS hinges on clear federal regulations and manufacturer transparency. Only then can consumers and the legal system hold all parties accountable on the road to a safer tomorrow. Read the full article
