Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop has a big scar that goes right through his right eye, though the eyeball itself is perfectly fine.Claymore: Dae, Mad Scientist and head of the Organization's retrieval squad, still has a great round eyeball staring out of the left side of his face where he's lost all the flesh covering the bone and muscle, including the lips and eyelids.At first, her eye on that side appears to be fine but it subsequently turns out to be glass. Balalaika from Black Lagoon had half her face torn up by a frag grenade.The idea of this basically leads to tropes like Harmless Luminescence, where eyes basically are undamaged by bright light. This makes it often possible to receive damage around the eye with little or none to the actual eyeball.Ĭharacters who aren't so lucky may end up sporting an Eyepatch of Power. Sometimes, this can be Truth in Television, thanks to the rather nifty design of the human skull, with the eye set back and largely surrounded by bony prominences in the shape of the brow, nose, and to some extent the cheekbone. This is the case pretty much whenever you see a character with a big, deep scar over their eye. In animation, this can also be used for humorous effect - completely blackening a character's face from an explosion wouldn't be nearly as funny if their eyes weren't visible to blink in astonishment. Also, as noted in the above quote, the expressiveness of the eyes can further emphasize the suffering and Facial Horror of the victim. In a medium like Film or Television, it is also sometimes due to the difficulty in realistically portraying damage to the eye - makeup can create scars, but can't be applied directly to an eye. All the same, eye damage is rarely seen in modern works, as it has become something of a taboo. This is seen often in works trying to avoid being Squicky. When even though in all likelihood one's eyes would be harmed during a fight, or in a nasty accident etc., the eyes remain, remarkably, unharmed. So we will still need an infrastructure to be able to kind of house those autonomous vehicles and dispatch them on multiple platforms like Uber, Lyft, at the same time.- Arthur Conan Doyle, " The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger" “Autonomous cars will not self maintain, or self-manage. We're kind of building these charging hubs, stations for car cleaning, maintenance and charging and once cars become autonomous, the infrastructure will be ready.” said Gabriel. We aim to kind of have this built as electric vehicles scale. “Our long term vision is to build the infrastructure required for autonomous rideshare vehicles.
BURNING EYEBALLS STARBOUND DRIVERS
So if a driver needs to charge their vehicle, they can just drive to any Tesla Supercharger, plug it in 20 minutes and they can go back on the road.”Ībout 20,000 rideshare drivers are already registered with Autzu, creating the increasing demand necessitating the company’s aggressive expansion moves, Gabriel said.īut in its quest to replace internal combustion engine rideshare vehicles with emission-free EVs Gabriel is looking longer-range to eventually moving to the use of self-driving cars through partnerships with automakers, charging infrastructure providers and urban planners. The decision to offer Teslas exclusively is based on what Gabriel describes as the automaker’s “very robust external charging infrastructure. Autzu leases them from various commercial fleet companies, generating about $4,000 in revenue with $1,000 in vehicle costs, according to Gabriel. Once their Autzu account is activated they can book EVs for six, eight or 12 hour slots or longer at $7 an hour (with future options for daily) which covers insurance, maintenance and parking for their personal vehicle during the rental.Įvery car is a Tesla Model 3.
