I’ll bite. Where are some of the top “mismatched new tech paradigms” you think we oughta look at throughthis lens?

‘Driverless cars’, which are making all the same design mistakes that ‘horseless carriage’ made.

What do you think about Zoox? If you were the designer, do you have ideas for what you would like to do?

I think the vehicle that will achieve scale will be single-occupant. Most trips have 1 passenger...if it is on-demand, no need to plan for peak capacity (e.g. buy a station wagon because you go snowboarding 5x/yr). I call my design a 'coffin car', but open-minded about branding.

Could maybe qualify as a motorcycle, which makes crash testing much easier - and less dangerous for other vehicles on the road. Limit it to 35 mph, and only within cities.

I can't understand why ~everyone working on autonomous is making giant 4-5 passenger vehicles, instead of an enclosed recumbent motorcycle.
