I believe the point he’s making is that the driver’s attention is more likely to wander when it’s a routine trip done many times before. This was the first run on the new route, not a routine trip.

It’s e-gold all over again. Was going to be the dream libertarian non-fiat currency of the future but ended up being used mostly by scams. At least e-gold was (theoretically) redeemable for real gold delivered, whereas crypto currencies are

For the president to be saying what he has said this morning is shameful and a disgrace to all Americans. I hope at least some of those who voted for him are hanging their heads today.

Surely they must remember which year they left high school to go to college? That's graduation, early or otherwise.

Indeed. I had to go to uni for 4+ years to earn a degree in engineering. Pretty scary that you can get one of these in 6 months, and then potentially be working on selfdriving cars (or so Udacity would have you believe).
