How Does a Self-Driving Car Work?
May 9, 2013
CARS that can drive themselves, a staple of science-fiction, have started to appear on roads in real life. Google’s self-driving vehicles are the best-known, but most carmakers are also developing them. In 2011 BMW sent a robotic car at motorway speeds from Munich, the German carmaker’s hometown, to Nuremberg, about 170km away (with a driver on board just in case). Audi got a self-driving TTS Coupe to negotiate 156 tight curves along nearly 20km of paved and dirt road on Colorado’s Pikes Peak,...

May 7, 2013
The managing partner of a law firm called me and asked my opinion of how his firm’s blog was doing. This struck me as an odd question. After all, wouldn’t he know this better than I? So I put the question back to him. “How do you think your blog is doing?” I asked. “I have no idea,” he answered. “Well, how has the traffic been?” I asked. “I have no idea,” he answered. “Has it generated any contacts?” I asked. “I don’t know,” he answered. “Are you getting...
