This is why I think the "driver" will shift more to a "captain" type archetype. Ie, driverless road-trains will travel in fleets and there will be a mechanic somewhere in that convoy to deal with breaking down in dead o

Hmmm, why are we still talking about truck drivers exactly? The trucking industry is about to tank hard. Mercedes demo'd its first driverless truck a couple of weeks ago (!). Yes, there will be specialists drivers sure and niche comp

I measure people by their conviction, intellect, and humanity. I cannot fault him in either. Really then - this is tall poppy syndrome at its best (or is that worst?). What's wrong with someone who actually BACKS their own ideas? Daw

"It will be an expected part of the design process just like people will begin to expect this level of activity and character in software." Which design process is this? Maybe at places at Google or agencies handling Fortune 500

Interesting. I'll have a look at these links. Same as anything I suppose - fossicking through the supply to weed out the charlatans for the people with substance and authenticity. I guess my questions are around extracting goals and m
