Primates first appeared around 65 million years ago.
The earliest dinosaurs arose over 200 million years ago.
Therefore, it is possible that by about 130 million years ago, the dinosaurs would have reached our level of development. They could have detected the oncoming asteroid, built space ships, and left this planet. All while mammals were barely getting started.

Perhaps, but one big problem is the rocket equation: dinosaurs are generally very large compared to humans, so they'd need huge spaceships to carry them, and as we know, the rocket equation means you need far more fuel to lift an amount of mass to orbit. Perhaps only some smaller species of dinosaur evolved into an intelligent civilization.
Er? Do you really think professional scientists would write an epic prog-rock musical about the dinosaur invasion of Norwich if they weren't extremely certain of their hypothesis?
Selling to extremely large companies is difficult.
Safety regulations mean that car companies want to deal with other big companies, or those with big enough insurance.
Buyers don't buy based on infotainment.
What makes you think it "sucks" for the majority of buyers? Have you spoken to normal drivers to see if it is something that genuinely bothers them? If so, how much more would they be willing to pay for a better infotainment system?
Finally, who actually buys cars? Most of them are fleet - not individuals.
As an Australian, this article is less than useless to me. If they are reporting on the Australian market and giving prices in dollars, then they should be saying what currency they are referring to.
> It might be a scam website - but that's no different to seeing an poster and manually typing in the address.
Disagree, because:
* QR codes are opaque to humans. You can't visually tell if one is legit or not.
* QR codes often use URL shorteners, so that the URL contained is just https://exam.ple/4pTF6x4M9 is not unusual.
Someone can replace a QR code with a sticker overlay and link to a phishing site. Replacing a URL on a poster is also possible, of course, but harder to make look convincing in the first place and significantly simpler to detect.
How? I always see this mentioned but it seem impractical to me. I've discovered bugs which have paid out a few thousand dollars - big corporates have well publicised schemes, but I've no idea how I would go about selling it to a criminal.
Even if I did know where to find them - how would I trust them? Can I tell they're not really the police doing a sting?
If they paid me, how would I explain my new wealth to the tax authorities?
Once the criminal knows they've paid me, what's to stop them blackmailing me? Or otherwise threatening me?
Oh, and I won't be able to publish a kudos-raising blog post about it.
How much would a criminal have to pay me to take on that level of risk?
Should Google pay out more for this? Probably. Is the average security researcher really going to take the risk of dealing with criminals in the hope that they pay a bit more? Unlikely.
Getting secure tokens (like payment, door unlock, etc) is possible but can be complicated. The ring is a small target, so not always easy to find the received if you're using it with a phone.
Oh, and the software is low level and finickity. I managed to accidentally set mine to read only mode permanently.
I have a suspicion this is a whitelabeled NFC ring I got from AliExpress for $12. That one includes a T5577 chip and a Mifare tag. You can read and write the Mifare tag with your phone, as normal, and the T5577 with a Flipper Zero or a Proxmark (also from Ali, $40).
The NFC tag is a small target, probably because of the size of the antenna, but the RFID one has pretty good range. I got five of those rings, very much recommended if you have stuff to auth to.
It doesn't look like the Z1 does payment either, though. I don't know how they do U2F, but it looks like it comes with a custom reader, which is non-standard. I don't know how Tesla unlock works, so I can't say there.
