  • Autonomous Driving on the highway is coming sooner than you think

    We're not going to get to Level 5 autonomy anytime soon for a whole host of reasons. That's why it's interesting to see a new idea about self-driving cars. Car manufacturers have carefully studied the pain points for drivers and, I'm guessing by using Jobs To Be Done Theory, have set out to solve an exponentially simpler problem that point-to-point or start-to-finish autonomous travel. They're concentrating on highway driving only, in what they call on-ramp to off-ramp.

  • Anyone for a Conference hosted on Fortnite?

    A long, but informative article, on redef from Matthew Ball. Really worth the read. I was thinking about this and other ideas around Fortnite. 12 Million people attended a Marshmello concert hosted by Fortnite.

  • The BBC killed the paragraph

    Is it just me? Am I alone? The only one that thinks that the way the BBC writes it's articles is awful to read? They have taken to writing one sentence per paragraph. Perhaps to break up the text. But it makes it more difficult to read. And mentally, the associated parts of the text that should be in one paragraph, are disconnected. Making your brain work harder to rejoin what's related.
