The US used Thorium reactors back in 1962 (Indian point 1). It wasn't retired because it didn't work. It was retired because Uranium was more efficient.

They don’t know that they’re not free. The good thing about a real dictatorship is that you know exactly what the rules are.

Why not just distribute the refusal vectors and do it at runtime against the stock model?

Having got out of traffic tickets, it may be deliberate. If they don't respond at all within 30 days you can argue due process violation, but by slow dripping they can drag it out and not hit that timer. The 30 day period is telling.

The free market may eventually get bored...

“Of all tyran­nies, a tyranny sin­cerely ex­er­cised for the good of its vic­tims may be the most oppres­sive. It would be bet­ter to live un­der rob­ber barons than un­der om­nipo­tent moral busy­bod­ies. The rob­ber baron’s cru­elty may some­times sleep, his cu­pid­ity may at some point be sa­tiated; but those who tor­ment us for our own good will tor­ment us with­out end for they do so with the ap­proval of their own con­science.” C.S. Lewis

FAA jurisdiction over the airspace is not the same as a rule prohibiting every form of powered lift-off within it. There's a lot of grey area in FAA regs - for instance you can land a plane on your lawn in class E (if you could manage it).

He actually says in the video that it might not be legal to operate but they could still sell you one. Anything is legal off-road on your own private property.

I thought somewhere in the video they said that it is just regular compressed air that is held in a tank, and that the car itself has a compressor and regenerates the compressed air over time. Obviously to stabilize that amount of weight the gas has to be ejected at such a high rate it is practically frozen at the nozzle outlet, but it is still just regular air.
