- ENHANCED RETENTION AND CONTROL: Deploy your flashlight faster and maintain control even when performing critical tasks including weapons deployment, self-defense, rescue, climbing, backpacking, trail running, and maintenance. Designed originally for tactical users, the SwitchBack flashlight ring has become the premier flashlight accessory for military, police, and adventurers worldwide.
- RELEASABLE FINGER RING: Reliably deploy and index a flashlight from both pockets and pouches, using the SwitchBack’s rigid, but releasable, retention ring. Employ all traditional low-light techniques such as Neck Index, Modified FBI, and Harries. Users can use a natural two-handed shooting grip (SwitchBack Technique), taking advantage of the wide thumb rest with traction features. Positively retain the light when drawing a firearm, reloading, and addressing malfunctions.
- RUGGED POLYMER POCKET CLIP: Positioning the flashlight for optimal pocket and pouch deployment, the SwitchBack’s durable, non-conductive polymer pocket clip is also MOLLE and PALS compatible. Attach it to duty gear, plate carriers, chest rigs, tactical backpacks, and other law enforcement, search and rescue, paramedic, and military gear. Unlike a metal pocket clip, it won’t scratch your surroundings including doorways, car seats, painted surfaces, and other everyday obstacles.
- INSTALLS SECURELY ON YOUR LIGHT: The SwitchBack Flashlight Ring mounts between a compatible* flashlight’s tailcap and body, making it secure regardless of impact, moisture, and heat/cold changes. Small crush ribs on the lip help create a custom fit. An aluminum spacer and o-ring come with each SwitchBack, helping with conductivity compatibility and slight size variations. (*See the compatibility table at the top left of this product page to be sure your 1 inch tactical light is compatible.)
- DESIGNED AND MADE IN THE USA: The SwitchBack Large 2.0 is the next evolution in the innovative Thyrm SwitchBack Flashlight Ring product line, incorporating new features and refinements based on input from our subject matter experts and customers. Tailcaps larger than 1.004 inches in diameter are not compatible with the Thyrm SwitchBack Large 2.0. A larger SwitchBack is available, called the SwitchBack DF. A smaller SwitchBack is available called the SwitchBack Backup S.

In Autonomy [1], the author seems to suggest that companies such as GM do realize there is a lot at stake.
​
I do think spending 1B+ for GM is substantial, especially since they may have to continue their spending if R&D takes longer than expected, but I don't think it will destroy them if they have to write it down.
​
Tesla explained their business model in their Autonomy Day a few weeks ago. [2, 6] I am not familiar with Mobileye's plan.
​
I personally am worried that Tesla will release their software without it being sufficiently tested (and users not appropriately understanding this). I tend to side with the plaintiff in this case (though my knowledge is limited). [3]
​
At least one founder thinks there will only be a few successful companies, similar to how there are only a few commercial aircraft manufacturers [4].
​
Here are two projections of the economics [5, 6]. I don't remember how I felt about these values.

Read Autonomy it’s about the upcoming of the self driving car race from an advisor for Waymo and former head of R&D at GM. Very fun and informative read
