"In the distant future people no longer drive cars themselves, instead relying on AI computers to drive their cars for them. But when these AI systems start losing control and running wild somebody has to stop them. éX-Drivers are the people who are able to operate the older mechanical non-AI dependent cars who chase down the AI cars and stop them."

#Nvidia is expanding its #autonomousvehicle development business to include #Hyundai, #Nissan, #Isuzu, #BYD, and #Geely. The new partnerships are for Nvidia’s #DriveHyperion platform, which helps companies develop and deploy driver-assist and #autonomousdriving capabilities for Level 4 AVs. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/16/nvidia-hyundai-byd-nissan-self-driving-tech.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Weekly output: Uber and Lucid’s robotaxi, Craig Newmark on dodging scams, Jensen Huang on engineering, Better Offline podcast

I got back from CES Friday morning, which means I’ve now more or less caught up with my sleep deficit from those frenetic five days in Las Vegas but still have a lot of writing to do.

1/5/2026: This Is the Robotaxi That Lucid and Nuro Are Building for Uber, PCMag

I wrote the first version of this off an embargoed copy of Uber’s announcement, then did an in-person inspection of Uber’s forthcoming self-driving version of the Lucid Gravity electric vehicle and updated the story two days later.

1/7/2026: Craiglist’s founder has some simple rules for not losing your mind—or money—on the internet, Fast Company

My video interview with Craig Newmark happened back in December–without any PR minder on the call–but online scams are an unfortunately evergreen topic.

1/7/2026: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: This Is Why I’m Lucky to Be an Engineer, PCMag

It was a treat to see Huang accept the engineering group IEEE’s annual medal of honor at a private event and gush a little about his chosen profession–the same one that my dad picked in college.

1/8/2026: CES 2026: Part Seven (Thursday), Better Offline

As I did last year, I wrapped up CES by joining tech gadfly Ed Zitron’s Better Offline podcast at the hotel suite he booked in Vegas for a lengthy conversation about what we saw at the show and what that says about the state of technology. My fellow guests in this Thursday night recording session: standup comedian Chloe Radlciffe and fellow writers Garrison Davis, Robert Evans, Westin Lee, and Ed Ongweso. After some post-recording banter, I went from there to the airport and fell asleep within maybe 10 minutes of takeoff.

I have great #PhD news to share: my first #research paper is now published!

Exploring the perceived benefits and potential challenges of the #AutonomousVehicle rollout in #Australia

It's open-access so that anyone can download: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369847825001731

I honestly thought that I would have submitted my PhD thesis and had to wait for the publication to be approved (part of the requirement for completing my PhD), but it's the other way around, and I'm still revising my literature review!

Somewhat of a longshot, but...

We are looking for a regulatory specialist who understands the rules around Autonomous Vehicles in the EU.

We have a small EU funded project and would like to hire a specialist who can help make sure our report aligns with the current and future EU rules.

DM me for more details.

re-toots super-welcome!

[en] Autonomous vehicles (AV) crashes: Who to blame?

"Currently, we are in a transitional period of shared control between humans and AV systems, during which AV technology may not eliminate all crashes"

"debate has emerged regarding who should be responsible for AV crashes, even though current #legal frameworks treat the responsibility for AVs and ordinary #vehicle|s similarly"

This guy is getting high on his own supply! It’s one thing to operate self-driving on private enclosed factory roads.

In two weeks today, I'll be giving a talk in Brisbane for #EngineersAustralia on my #PhD #research:
Benefits and challenges of the #autonomousvehicle rollout in Australia

It's free for members and $30 for others.

In-person in #Brisbane or online.

I hope to see you there!
