Sure, but Pharma A is full of career managers who never kill drugs under development and Upstart B relentlessly culls drugs that don't work early on. Upstart B's failure rate at the final stages is under 50% so they develop 5 tim

Oxford & Cambridge are very selective and entry is very competitive. Unusually for UK universities they hold a separate entrance exam for all courses. (Information about the extra admissions tests done by some universities and some co

It's a joke about human "safety drivers" acting as legal crumple zones for self-driving cars.
