And so when they pick a goal or they pick a strategy and they pick an enemy, they will spend every day, every year for 10 years getting to that goal.

The United States is a highly, you know, dynamic capitalist system that is reactive only when pushed against the wall.

We're not quite at that wall yet, but we're coming close to it.

And if people see it, that we're beginning to react to it.

I fully agree with you.

I used to be a bit of a skeptic.

I mean, I love technology, but after 10, almost 11 years of riding in the vehicles and having spent four years as an executive at a self-driving car company, I'm fully convinced that this is both inevitable

And the good news for the United States is that the United States is the technology leader here.

And we have two companies that are at the forefront, Waymo and Tesla.

Yeah, about a month ago, my team was the first to get a vehicle from New York to LA to set the autonomous cannonball run record.

In other words, we were zero interventions, cross-country, no hands on wheel.

Oh, it was a Tesla Model S, my personal car.

There were three of us.

We rotated it, taking turns as we stopped to charge the vehicle.

And one of us would have to sit in the seat.

The Tesla requires you, at this point, to have someone in the seat with a camera on your eyes, observing that you're paying attention.

So it still requires supervision in-car.

I've probably taken hundreds of Waymo rides, because where I live in Arizona, they're ubiquitous, and they're fantastic.

So from a statistical standpoint, if you compare the driving of a Waymo to human drivers in the same domain, which is the weather, same conditions, same area, there is a lot of evidence that they are safer today.

Now, it's going to take time before they're safer than every human driver on every road.
