My preferred dome design is three concentric shells. The innermost one would be a semipermeable membrane (burlap) with a low pressure area above it. The whole thing would be a filter that would be cleaned with a steam cleaner on an arm. Else a broom.

The algorithm builds an algorithm map that notes were the walls are after it bumps into them, ditto for the furniture. Doesn't matter what the shapes are everything has a coordinate based on where the charger is. Move the charger and it needs to relearn the room. Movable stuff gets added and skipped when it is gone or at least on my device

Right, but it likes to break things up into rectangles to clean. How does it handle a pizza slice when it wants to clean in rectangles? Probably fine, it would just have shorter runs as it neared the skinny end of the slice. |

Pie shaped rooms don't exist. They would be quadrilateral to some extent.
In addition to 90°, you get 120° and 72° corners.

Fully Charged drives the Lightyear Zero
The Lightyear Zero is almost ready for production. Fully Charged got to drive it in Spain.

At 11:59 the police officer hands him back his cell phone. They beep out his comment.
Were it I, it would have been [beep! beep! beepity-beep!]

Those wheel covers are completely flat and don’t even have a slight vent for brake cooling. How are they getting away with brake cooling without a single opening? The Mercedes’ eqxx does the same thing

Regenerative braking? Light vehicle? Copper rims? Or accident waiting to happen?
