Good data point. I'd assume that drivers of big cars are often worse/more dangerous drivers. Hard to control for in statistics, but a good driver in a big car is more protected against other bad drivers. For reference, I drive a c

Yikes. The lack of judgement involved in personally releasing something that could be confused for an official release (I was confused) by your employer is someone who has huge wildcard risk in the future. I would expect significant discipl

Very good idea. For every company that is valuable because of software + knowledge + service + loyal customers there are a dozen that only exist because of weak competition and inertia. Easy to imagine there are a lot of software products t

Probably the only way to catch up to Waymo's technical lead is for every other player to collaborate. The world dearly needs another self-driving car option.

That phrasing may not translate well. "as much as anyone" means "Most people don't like it, and I don't like it either.". My criticism of the analysis is not a defense of US healthcare.

Without knowing the "full" details of this crash, it is outrageous that Tesla calls it "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" on their website. This is like naming a product "Healthy Dog Food (Rat poison)". If it req
