From a technological standpoint, there are many reasons why I feel excited and lucky to be alive during this time in history. But smarter safer transportation, spearheaded by compa…

This is very pretentious.

I'm sure that you normally have intelligent things to add to the conversation and your comment above is just a one-off.
