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.

#Waymo #selfdrivingcar gets pulled over by #police for an illegal #Uturn

https://www.kpax.com/us-news/waymo-self-driving-car-gets-pulled-over-by-police-for-an-illegal-u-turn

@nwchapman And this is announced right after #CBS did a glamor segment on their news doc program #SundayMorning promoting #Waymo this past weekend . . . 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I'm not a Luddite but I am one of those who say they'll never use an #AutomomousVehicle or #SelfDrivingCar no matter how safe they say they are.

There are other options & if I need to get somewhere & I can't use my own car to do so, I'll #Walk and/or take #PublicTransit and/or #RideSharing and/or #Uber or #Lyft instead. 🤷‍♂️

NON VOGLIO AUTO A GUIDA AUTONOMA!

Voglio cose noiose come il trasporto pubblico che arriva così regolarmente da non dover controllare gli orari.

Voglio un treno passeggeri veloce, così accessibile e facile da essere preferibile alla sofferenza degli aeroporti.

Voglio città che non siano costruite intorno all'automobile di default.
