It's possible they're looking at the long-term picture and investing heavily now to aggressively counter anything that looks like stricter regulation. If they capitulate in Austin today, then tomorrow they'll be railroaded in

Is it irresponsible if the self-driving truck is believed to be as safe or safer than a human driver? Humans get into accidents quite frequently.

Doesn’t sound like the CEO thinks so. “It’s just terrible” isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement.

Even if this is entirely well-intentioned, which is certainly up for debate, it sets a precedent that will eventually see the world's most powerful media corporations become gatekeepers of the internet. The web has been so successful

How is Airbnb screwing him over? Their host guarantee says they'll pay for property damage, and they did. Ari's problem is that he got evicted for allowing the damage to happen on his watch.
