A few self-driving taxis in San Francisco just demonstrated the real problem with autonomy.
They were too rational.
For a brief moment, several robotaxis aligned at an intersection and created a perfectly polite deadlock.
No aggression.
No improvisation.
No human-style “you go, I’ll go.”
Just algorithms waiting for clarity.
And that is exactly why this moment matters.
What interests me is that this was not a failure of sensing.
The vehicles could see.
The problem was social judgment.
Because cities are not just physical systems.
They are negotiation systems.
They run on:
→ tiny signals
→ hesitation
→ assertiveness
→ eye contact
→ imperfect timing
That is where autonomy gets much harder than people think.
We are not only teaching machines how to detect objects and follow lanes.
We are asking them to operate inside messy human environments where the right move is not always the most logical one.
To me, that is the deeper lesson.
The next frontier in self-driving is not just better perception.
It is better judgment under uncertainty.
And that is a much more difficult problem.
What do you think matters more for autonomous vehicles now: seeing the road better, or learning how to navigate human ambiguity?

Dear #JelenaOstapenko:
This is what respect, humanity and class looks like. It’s diffident when someone has been where you’ve been, understand your struggle and instead of hating or acting as if you are not good enough, they show love, support, empathy and give hope” ~Deon Taylor

When Novak Djokovic played his first Wimbledon, Sinner was 3 and Alcaraz was 2.
20 years later, he is competing with them where it all began.
That is the greatness of Novak Djokovic.
It is a privilege to witness what this man can still do.
