🚗 Technology - Brake-by-Wire System
The Tesla Cybercab doesn't have ANY brake fluid. It is the first production vehicle to have a brake-by-wire system. Electronic actuators are responsible for the clamping pressure, rather than hydraulic fluid that you see in traditional vehicles. This system improves efficiency.
Key Points:
• The Tesla Cybercab features a brake-by-wire system.
• The system uses electronic actuators instead of hydraulic fluid.
• The brake-by-wire system improves efficiency.

💡 Engineering - Runtime Event Log
Kill an agent mid-turn and the state object starts lying about what happened. This dev rebuilt the runtime so the event log is the source of truth and state is just a projection, turning forks and replays into database queries. { author: tom }
Key Points:
• The state object can become inconsistent when an agent is killed mid-turn.
• The runtime has been rebuilt to use the event log as the source of truth.
• The event log is used to determine the state of the system.
