Programmability of vault tail lights - scanning / running turn signals would be cool - front Off Road light, sequence or flashing patterns for utility vehicles - same feature on third brake light assembly.
Think of a clock. A single phase generator has a coil at noon and another one at 6. Suppose the sweep hand to be a bar magnet with a N pole at one end and S pole at the other. The coils are connected in series. As the N pole swings past a coil it generates a positive voltage (relative to the center connection point) and as a S pole swings by one it generates a negative voltage. Engineers represent each of these voltages as an arrow. The one from the upper coil is like a hand pointed at noon and the other like a hand pointed at 6. The voltage between two points is the distance between them on this diagram. The distance from the tip of one hand to the tip of the other is twice the distance from the center to either tip. Thus the voltage from the common (neutral, white wire) connection to either of the hots (red, black) is 120V (in a 120 V system) but between red and black it is 240 V. Two coils, two phases thus this is a two phase system. But it is a special case of a two phase system. If we don't let you see the white wire (the common point between the two phases) you only see a single circuit and say "What are you talking about? This is a single phase system!" It's only when we expose the common point that the two phase nature of the system becomes clear and so this special case is referred to a "biphase" rather than "two phase". In systems we call "two phase" the second coil is at some angle other than 180° (6 o'clock). One of the reasons for my going into all this was that I thought that readers might be interested in the fact that Nicola Tesla's huge contribution to modern engineering was realizing that a biphase AC motor was a rather simple device relative to a DC motor. The rest is history
Auto tinting, half tint if wipers on, no tint at night, manual mode if black out desired.
It would still need crush cans and to be engineered to collapse and it will be (this is much easier without an engine) but I think external airbags are a cool possibility for pedestrian collisions. They might not be like traditional airbags that need to actually have a collision to inflate or need explosive inflation. In CT with it’s air compressor and an air tank, the AP might predict a pedestrian collision and inflate the airbag in anticipation of the impact. It might actually be reusable and justify tolerance of false positives.
What you are seeing is a 120/240/208(bastard leg)v three phase. In this case you get 120v phase to neutral on 2 phases. You also get 240v when you measure the voltage on the phase to phase and 208v on the last phase. This has to do with the connection at the transformers. It is a way to give a voltage that lets you have 120v for single phase power, and also 3 phase power to run motors. It is an older system and most utilities will not give to new customers however will still maintain these services for existing customers.
To make clear my understanding, are you interested in a visual thermal display, maybe in a HUD?
I have certainly heard of other Tesla's hitting deer. I doubt if radar looking forward will catch deer near the side of the road, and I'm sure normal camera's will not pick them up if it's dark. In the end, I want a deer prof truck, I want to know if deer are a 180 arc 100 ft or so ahead of my truck, and I would like AI to realize that deer do deer things, like run parallel to your truck and then do a 90 degree turn into your truck.
