These posts always remind me of Todd Lappin's Telstar Logistics[1] in which he makes his personal vehicle look "official" and gets away with lots adventures with it. [1] https://telstarlogistics.typepad.com/telstarlogistics/2006/09/what_is_… [2] https://www.flickr.com/people/telstar/

It depends on what you call 'mass'. I think most people would agree Liberty ships were mass-produced (fairly large production run, assembly line, interchangeable 'parts' welded together) Even today, you still get production runs of fairly large ships, such as http://telstarlogistics.typepad.com/telstarlogistics/2011/01/us-navy-p… It has two companies each build a series of 10 ships.

Meanwhile, an onboard array of sensors sniffs out obstacles -- such as abandoned cars, hungry cows, napping yetis, or whatever -- that may lie hidden beneath the deep snows. https://path.berkeley.edu/development-advanced-rotary-plow-arp-snow-re… https://path.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/development_of_the_advan… (pdf) The PDF has a complete breakdown of how it works (and I mean really complete - like "here's all the gates in the magnetometers") You can see some of the interface in https://highways.dot.gov/public-roads/janfeb-2001/safe-plowing-applyin… > This ASP Human-Machine Interface is mounted on the windshield. Some of the worst visibility conditions on the planet can be overcome with the aid of the ASP cab-mounted display, which receives its data from the plow's collision-warning system. Radar sensing assists human sight to find the road and obstacles that may be in the way of the plow. --- Late addition... https://conservancy.umn.edu/bitstream/handle/11299/901/200313.pdf?sequ…
