Driving: Motor Mouth: YouTube’s inane crash videos may teach future self-driving cars. “… the best learning tools aren’t, says [Professor Krzysztof] Czarnecki, the endless of hours of on-road driving recorded by existing autonomous automobiles like Google-cum-Waymo’s Open Dataset, but rather crowdsourced dashcam recordings on social media.”

Weekly output: game development, Tesla Robotaxi, Bluetooth upgrades
I started this week in Austin for SXSW and will start the coming week by flying to Los Angeles, courtesy of an event United Airlines is hosting at LAX to show off tech upgrades coming to its fleet. The airline is covering my airfare and lodging, the reverse of the pattern that has prevailed over decades of my business travel.
3/17/2026: Crafting Global Games with Local Insight and Cultural Fusion, SXSW
I returned to SXSW after a year off when Nika Nour, a pal from D.C. tech-policy circles who’s now a senior vice president leading international business development at Savvy Games Group, asked if I could step in to moderate this panel. And then two of the other panelists got changed out less than a week in advance. Fortunately, everybody else on the panel (Nika, actor/producer/author Anjali Bhimani, and Six Foot chief marketing officer Manuel Delgado) was a practiced speaker and eased my job of leading a conversation about an industry that I haven’t covered that much lately.
3/19/2026: I Got Around SXSW in Tesla Robotaxis: The Rides Were Better Than the Buggy, Juvenile App, PCMag
I thought I should try Tesla’s self-driving-car taxi service while in Austin, but it took a day of unsuccessful attempts before I could book my first ride. And then the experience was surprisingly uneventful, with each of my five rides featuring a safety operator in the front passenger seat who didn’t do anything that I noticed.

PCMag elected to re-publish this post with some new text by me to highlight Bluetooth version numbers.

Many readers say that self-driving cars will be the solution for older adults in the suburbs who can no longer drive. I think it is a fantasy and won't happen in my lifetime.

When a a self-driving a car has the ability to appeal to a remote human advisor (when in situations it cannot resolve) we might question the term 'self-driving car'... once again claims for technology's ability to resolve problems without human judgment & guidance seem to not be quite what they seem.
