We talk about the present world of automated driving; Arizona vs SF, the cones, what Waymo did right, etc.    Alex has a theory on why converting cars to EV could be a good thing for driver engagement.   Why there aren&#39;t cannonball records in Europe.   When will AI be put to a vote?   How did the market downturn effect the autonomous landscape?   Should you keep an ITR forever?   The right scarf for fall.Recorded August 29, 2023 http://humandriving.org/  Experience the difference for yourself, and check out Brooklinen’s new fall collection.
