"How compete with trillion dollar companies" - "I love being a contrarian" and some more yada yalla. The valuations of these companies are already insane.

For a second I thought it said "valve"

“I want to build something contrarian” is not a particularly reassuring answer when we’re talking about a technology with significant potential for harm.

So basically an ad to American tech company to buy them out
@
Funny how, waymo is using British cars and wayve is using american car(for now)

Not going to mention the backing of huge companies like Microsoft and Nvidia? They are definitely not doing this with their own compute, right?

This has the same problem ALL self driving car companies face and why the technology isn't ubiquitous and mainstream yet and is likely never to be. It's a liability problem, one accident can ruin a company nevermind any type of wave of accidents. The reality is that this technology has to essentially be perfect and never allow an accident to occur or the company that does have accidents will face liability for the deaths/injuries in those vehicles and thus are open to many major legal battles.

What we need are the sentient Smart Fortwo's from Hot Tub Time Machine 2.. And sadly Mercedes-Geely nearly rolled out its own electric automated car too but cancelled it just before production. Thickheaded move if you ask me. Especially now that Benz is both flailing and failing fast!

What if there was a machine that could transport 200 people or more, have no other traffic than the other machine, and could drive itself on a track that called a train

People cant even be an uber driver to make extra money anymore

That’s London? But it’s sunny… ?

This isn't gonna get anywhere...

We do not need more cars in cities. How about efficient mass transit?

No offense to this guy, but i dont think this CEO answered a single question that was asked. He just rambled off about something entirely different
