Alex Roy just did a very interesting cross-country drive with his mom. 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'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.

GIVEAWAY UPDATE! EXPANDED ELIGIBILITY TO MEXICO AND CANADA AND PREVIOUS @bethematch SIGNUPS FROM ALL OF 2023 ACCEPTED! LETS GOOOOOO!

THE PRIZE: 1-of-1, Prototype, Piece Unique @noduswatches CANYON in Dark Teal. The only one we will ever make, serial XXX/100. if you’re a US, Canada, or Mexico resident, you will be flown to LA, put up in a nice hotel, fed Korean Tacos, and handed the watch personally by me at the watch delivery party for the Mint Greens at WCCS in December. I will then give you a tour of the canyons in any of my personal cars you choose. If you are international, we will ship you the watch at home.

TO ENTER: No purchase necessary. 3 ways to enter:

1) sign up to be a stem cell donor with @bethematch . They send you a swab kit, and when you send it back, you get an email confirmation. Forward that confirmation to us. I am a donor myself and know what a real confirmation email looks like. If you have joined BTM in calendar year 2023, that is acceptable.

2) Donate blood or platelets at your local hospital or donation center. Get documentation for your donation including a receipt and photos of yourself donating. Send those to us. MULTIPLE DONATIONS = MULTIPLE ENTRIES

3) Donate $100 or more to @bethematch through their website and send me the email confirmation of your donation. Again, I have donated and know what a real email looks like (and will check with them to make sure your donation is real - as it is not a medical procedure there is no confidentiality attached to this option).

THEN:

Send your entry documents to [email protected]

If you attempt to fake any of these entries and I find out, I will publicly shame you repeatedly until the end of time. We’re trying to do something good here. Don’t fuck it up.

Entries close at 11:59 PM PST on December 1, 2023. We will randomly choose the winner LIVE on the podcast that week.
