As an aside, I'm looking for a job at the moment and linked-in is fucking terrible at the moment. I can't stand recruiters posting all their "forwards from grandma" memes flooding my news feed and I don't know how t

The elephant in the room is that personal mobility is going to undergo a complete redesign in the coming decade as vehicles drive for themselves. This will bring about a complete change in usage patterns so doing anything in this space is p

This is definitely a cost to benefit calculation. LIDAR is not cheap at the moment. In years to come we may have the perspective that LIDAR is necessary but at the moment it doesn't seem worth it.

What I wish people would understand is that you can be sure that all of the autopilot crashes which have happened so far will be analysed by teams of engineers to make sure those fringe cases never happen again. It's not as if anyone w
