Just seeing the incredible speed that potential treatments and vaccines have arrived at testing and the accelerated pace they're being put through testing... it makes you realize that in normal time we are operating nowhere near the sp

In many industries, a college degree (especially from a "name" school) is essentially used as an outsourced HR screening. It's not about specific knowledge, but being able to start the process knowing that this person has cer

It's not like back when Yahoo would buy and immediately kill everything it touched.

Tunnels are perhaps the only "no stopping" situation where there is nowhere to pull over. Luckily, tunnels are also the absolute simplest self-driving scenario. Tunnels have to kept clear of obstacles. If an SDC would have to stop

We may never have 100% level 5 driving. But with level 4 + remote assistance, you don't need to support all the edge cases to have a car with no steering wheel. You only need to reduce the need for remote assistance enough to make the
