    As expected from the press release at open about 9 months ago. (they estimated 90% reduction <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=46321557">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=46321557)

    The $15M price tag still seems like a lot. Happy for the critters and motorists tho

      $15M is less than 4 Patriot PAC-3 MSEs. Which do you prefer your taxes to be spent on?

        It’s not “burn 15M on missiles or spend it inefficiently on infra buildout”. It could also be “spend half as much on efficient infra buildout”
