    On MLK Day, I always share this. Want people to know this as well as the “I Have A Dream” speech. Speechless at his wisdom and truth. "No other ethnic group has been a slave on American soil. And then color became a stigma." Transcribed remainder below.

    Pretty amazing Cruise is calling out LiDAR industry-Not only is he right but it's far worse because most of the revenue models assume L4 which is never going to happen for most AV makers due to wrong development approach--

    1/ Interesting thing happening in the LIDAR industry right now. 5+ companies will soon or have SPAC'd. Their value is based on *projected* revenue that comes from *entirely overlapping* potential customers, with very little discount applied to future projections. Is this bad?

    This shoehorning is a function of our electoral process. Let’s have a system where Trump Republicans, AOC Progressives, Romney Conservatives, Biden Democrats, and Orman Independents can compete & form coalitions. For a new party, we need new rules like .

    This is the first time I have seen the (R-Trump) designation . I wish you had begun using that designation long ago. I suggest Trump-R, R, D, Prog-D might be helpful the next few years. America is a nation of many “parties” being shoehorned into 2 parties.

    TIRED: "You can't impeach Trump! It isn't the Senate's job to overturn the results of a lawful election!" WIRED: "It is actually explicitly the Senate's job to overturn the results of this lawful election!"

    Less than an hour to “autopilot” Level 5. I guess I missed L3 and L4 earlier in the day?

    1-Deadliest terrorist in US history is a WHITE GUY. If his white girlfriend said a non-white guy was building bombs the FBI would have done their job.

    we can discuss these---

    But wait, it gets even weirder: the paper in question, entitled "The Human Side of Tesla Autopilot" isn't even listed at ! The author's own website! It's one thing if the paper doesn't meet MIT's standards, but they don't appear to even meet Lex's 🤔

    NHTSA ruling change for AV systems seems just as short-sighted as original- - NHTSA & FMVSS should focus on result desired not method of getting there or change the method for new tech-Vs allowing non-repeatable self-certifications-Seems lazy & reckless
