Have you seen Fast and Furious 8?

There’s a scene in the movie where one thousand zombie cars are controlled….

Part of that is Hollywood…

But, technologically...taking control over a car like that is POSSIBLE.

And there are enormous consequences to this.

My colleague, Akshay Kumar, posed the question: are there consequences to the back-end getting hacked?

➡️ Cars can be stolen remotely

➡️ Lives can be put at risk

➡️ The flow of traffic can be disrupted

In my conversation with Praveen Suvarna, he defined unreasonable risk as something that is not accepted by society.

For example, a reasonable risk would be….if you get into a car, wear a seatbelt, and are in a minor accident, you understand that there might be minor injuries.

This is accepted by society.

Have you watched the Amazon series, Upload?

The plot follows individuals who “upload” themselves into a virtual world after death.

After watching this series, my colleague, Vikashini Gopalakrishnan posed this question - will virtual life after death be possible?

Absolutely, I think this will be possible depending on….

How we define and understand consciousness.

The automotive industry that we know today will not look the same 10 years from now.

And, it’s our job to adapt to how the industry changes.

I think the industry will change from the automotive industry to the software industry.

Is there a significance to security in the back-end infrastructure?

This question was posed by my colleague, Akshay Kumar.

If you think about COVID-19 and the crisis it is posing….

We are surviving because of the internet.

Now, think about if there was a massive internet virus.

Our infrastructure would crumble.

This is something that is underestimated by the majority of society.

Why is safety analysis important?

I posed this question to my guest, Praveen Suvarna.

The importance of safety analysis is due to the fact that we can identify possible failures in the system.

This can lead to improved safety measures.

How do you grow your business?

I believe there are three strategies.

In 20 to 30 years, our validation tactics in regard to autonomous vehicles will have to evolve to address the new challenges we face…

✔️ Validating scenarios outside of a test environment

✔️ Validating scenarios at scale

I say this in response to a question posed by my colleague, Vikashini Gopalakrishnan.

And, I think validation will happen on three levels.

✔️ Simulated environment

✔️ Semi-simulation

✔️ Road validation

Does it seem like every entrepreneur is a motivational speaker?

This observation was made by my colleague, Raghavendra Lokesha.

I do think many (not all) entrepreneurs are motivational speakers because they have many qualities that make people excited...

✔️ Leadership

✔️ Communication

But, to get people to ACT, you need much more than just a motivational speaker.

You need a purpose.
