If you use uMatrix, no video plays by default, as it's hosted on another domain.

#7Does anyone care that regulatory realities will prevent driverless cars from ever carrying human passengers?
Planes and trains have been driving themselves for many years but they still have human pilots. The human need for somebody to blame is stronger than market forces trying to eliminate human drivers

#8Of all the SV tech giants (obviously Tesla excluded), Apple has the best DNA to build cars.
They know how manufacture in scale. They know how build a vertical product. They have the cash to do it and they have a strong brand.
But most importantly, if the world moves to a car-sharing car-hailing model of autonomous cars. Ultimately, it becomes a consumer mobile play. This is where both Google and Apple own that experience. Siri will know where you are and when you need a car. This is something both Lyft and Uber wont be able to compete with.

#9Is it just me, or have folks living in the bay area noticed a huge increase in the number of "self driving" cars driving around? I've even seen a minivan with what looked to be a hastly assembled lidar driving around Sunnyvale. The space seems to be really heating up.

Do you have anything meaningful to back up your point? Any sources? Anyone else who agrees?
