The idea of electric cars always seemed too good to be true, and some people have tried to challenge the idea of zero emissions and all things that go with electric mobility by designing dangerous, unstable, and, in some instances, dangerous to a person’s health concept cars. We’ve seen video after video of fairly deadly off-road electric cars, and one of the biggest criticisms that Tesla has faced from many critics is that it’s been too slow to make its cars safer. What if Tesla could shake up this whole…

We run tests on everything. Sometimes, we have technical difficulties, and we can’t bring it up as scheduled. Sometimes, there is a physical problem, or in some cases, we don’t have enough test material. It’s an unexpected big test, where you have to find your way to the airport right now! But then there are other times where we just don’t have enough to test on. How do we make it through? Sometimes, we have to prepare our test materials ahead of time to make the process a little faster.…

It is safe to say that anyone who has ever been in a grocery store has seen the square footage of the grocery store increase while the prices have not. Consider that in the 1980s stores were typically 1.5 square miles in size, a cost of $5-10 million per mile of a road. Then everything changed, and by the late 90s the costs of maintaining these properties tripled. The expanded space, a giant transport carrier, the lights and sound, and other physical attributes of a mall or grocery store continued…

Back in my journalism days, we used to hear this a lot. There was a stand that our paper’s managing editor set up on our back-porch. He’d tell everyone how all of our stories would change when everything went off-grid — when his remote encampment went completely off-grid. Well, it wasn’t that easy — but it was real.

In the same interview, Kalanick said: “I never want to see a full-blown Taxi.” But he argued that it was easy to add certain features to an app for those who want them, so instead of going down that path, Lyft will be “fundamentally a technology company.” But that doesn’t necessarily preclude local regulations. That led the city of Boston to propose restrictions…
