But the city-driving IT workers comprise like 90% of truck buyers. Not Cybertrucks, but all trucks. You're more likely to see a 4 door truck hauling nothing more than the driver than you are hauling anything that REQUIRES a truck. #minivanlife

You saying it takes a "special" person to own an EV?People laughing at both drivers in this case.
1. The Tesla driver is an idiot Karen living under a rock.
2. The Rivian driver purchased a NACS to J1772 adapter and thought he could fast charge with it.

This happens all the time, not just to Tesla chargers. Usually the same people that "roll coal", also find it funny to park an ICE vehicle in a charger location. People also find it funny to unhook chargers and key EV's because....I don't know...maybe they hate Elon or love the gas industry. Keep in mind that 99% of the people are not ********, it's the 1%.There’s no legal protection for those signs. If a non-Tesla parks there, what’s the cops going to do? The most that could be done is for the property owner to tow the offending vehicle. Either way, I would have told the Tesla owner that I’ll wait for the cops with him.
But, if it requires you to take up 2 spots, that does seem like a problem. And I’m surprised that Tesla opened their chargers up without resolution of that.

In this case, it was legit, in most it's not.
I've seen the prices for the self driving components Deere is using for the autonomous tractors and they aren't cheap. They aren't using standard video cameras like your back-up camera to enable self driving plus there are several nvidea or similar gpus needed and likely a seperate controller. The part cost is in the $1000's for everything.
Probably more closely related to shopping centers where there are signs designating spots for patrons of a specific business. Only recourse would likely be towing the vehicle, not a ticket from law enforcement.To the parking ICE vehicles in charging spots, maybe there needs to be legal protections for these spots. In this case, those signs are put up by Tesla. Maybe we need state laws to put up legal signs similar to handicapped parking. Ultimately, these spots are a business and having ICE cars park there does hurt business. You can’t count on the property owner to care enough to remove the cars via towing. But a $50-$100 fine might make a point.
Hy-Vee does it the right way. They usually put the chargers(tesla ones) far away from the stores, so no one has an urge to park in those spots. If you take those spots in an ICE vehicle, you're truly being a douche.Probably more closely related to shopping centers where there are signs designating spots for patrons of a specific business.

Handicap spots are protected under state law, which is why you can get a ticket.
Agree with your point though that I doubt Hyvee or a gas station would care enough to tow a vehicle from an EV spot.

Depends on the system and the intended application. There's a healthy mix of GPS guidance, machine vision and lidar and how the system works depends largely on the crop that's involved. A row crop tractor doing work in a wide open field needs a very different solution than a sprayer running up and down an orchard for example. Guss sprayers are a vary cool piece of autonomous equipment that you use an xbox controller to get on and off the trailer then you fill it up with water and chemicals and turn it loose in your orchard.Doesn’t there almost have to be a radar component to this as well?
A lot regulations around gas pumps for obvious reasons, it will be interesting to see if charging stations can clean up their own act.This is a good idea from Rivian. It's unfortunate that companies like Electrify America have made this a necessity. Imagine Google having to rate gas pumps.
