Every morning, millions of Europeans waste 45 minutes sitting in traffic that AI could have prevented. Not with flying cars or hyperloops - just with traffic lights that actually know what's happening on the streets.
The sun doesn't always shine when we need power, and the wind doesn't blow on demand. This isn't news to anyone, but somehow we keep pretending that throwing more solar panels and wind turbines at the problem will magically solve it.
I've seen many people sharing Mark Rober's video on LiDAR vs. camera-based "autonomous drive."
While I believe the ultimate combination at this point is radar + LiDAR + cameras,
It's time to build.
As European nations, we have relied on wealth accumulated over centuries for too long. We got accustomed to the good life, got risk-averse, and a bit stagnant.
