If you just want to clone a typical garage door remote, you're way better off buying a generic $5 fob. Almost all the 433MHz garage fobs I've seen are designed to easily clone each other. And if cloning doesn't work, it's probably because you need to access the door controller and hit a few buttons to pair the remote directly. Also trivial, and also often pretty physically insecure. In the smaller apartment buildings I've lived in, the boxes containing these control units have usually just been hidden behind by a couple of screws and a "danger electricity" sticker.

If your current remote has multiple unused buttons on it as they often do, you can already try this out.

Since you cannot imagine how they'd perform, isn't this the perfect opportunity to test your assumption?

What do you mean by proportion? They are different data sources, and their usage is determined by system design.

eg A driving decision system needs to know object distances AND traffic light colours. It doesn't particularly need to know the source of either. You could have a camera-only system that accurately determines colour and fuzzy-determines distance. Or you could have a LIDAR-only system that accurately determines distance and fuzzy-determines colour.

Or you use both, get accurate LIDAR-distance and accurate camera-colour and skip all the fuzzy-determination steps. Or keep the fuzzy stuff and build a layer of measurement-agreement for redundancy.

So then the question becomes, what's your proportion when deciding whether to stop at a traffic light? Is it mostly light colour or mostly distance to other objects? Or 50/50?

I'd say it's 100/100.

> To the extent that "ban cars" even exists as a real political archetype rather than a meme, this is just patently not true. At least one of the two co-hosts of The War on Cars (again, a title which is intentionally tongue-in-cheek) has a preteen son.

Similar for the YouTube channel NotJustBikes, who has gone into great detail about the advantages of raising kids in a city planned around pedestrian and cyclist usage, and not in a suburban sprawl.

Sure they may become mercenaries. Maybe "Hyundai factory worker" is akin to "remote oil rig worker".

Or they could just be regular people with regular, stable jobs because they haven't chased a life of risk.
