@adamc0dez Lives outside of a major investment zone... the answer is maybe, but it's 100X harder. But if they do it's 100X more likely they succeed.

@arian_ghashghai @FT Luca Cordero di Montezemolo "If I say what I really think, it would be unpleasant, so I prefer not to comment. I just hope someone removes the Prancing Horse from that car. We risk destroying a legend, which saddens me greatly. At least this is a car the Chinese won't copy.

As a millennial the world could be ending and I still won't pickup the phone...

[Sai Kambampati @heysaik]

One thing that @poppysimplified can do proactively is call you. We're numb to notifications and reminders. Calls are what stick out.

So Poppy calls you only when it's urgent. Like to inform you that your rent payment didn't get paid and to hop on it

(true story btw)

@schrep @Waymo My understanding is that if they lose connectivity for more than 30 seconds they have to pull over until they resume. If they can't resume they enter into a mode that signals for a tow truck to come retrieve it.
