This is obviously valuable work in general, because a lot of people don't read science fiction, blogs, dream about technology, etc. I question how valuable this is to the HN audience who spends much of their time thinking about these topics, though. I spotted nothing that stood out from a skim through this article. Maybe the full report has more, but most of what it covers seems to be things along the lines of "who will have liability when a self-driving car kills someone?"...
- jsemrau 10y agoAny specific format/information you are interested in? We are using AI heavily on our platform to improve urban living. I would be willing to share to my best knowledge.
- sixQuarks 10y agoI'm always a bit shocked when a friend says they never heard of Elon Musk, but it happens quite often.
- simonh 10y agoIts the same for me, but I suppose if you're not actively looking into buying an electric car he doesn't directly affect many people's lives. Indirectly yes, but not so much directly. Other than that space technology hasn't been big in the popular conscience for many decades now and solar is boring power utility stuff. Until the iPod most people had never heard of Steve Jobs, or if they had he was swiftly forgotten as just another computer guy.
