00:00:00:00 - 00:00:58:07Trump's Meme Coin Dinner and Geopolitical TensionsIntroduction to the David Knight Show, discussing Trump's meme coin dinner, criticized for overpromising and underdelivering, and rising tensions in Europe due to Germany sending longer-range weapons to Ukraine. 00:02:53:13 - 00:06:35:17Disastrous Trump Meme Coin DinnerAttendees of Trump's meme coin dinner at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia were disappointed with poor-quality food (e.g., subpar halibut, filet mignon, and sides). Investors, including a TikToker who spent $300,000, left hungry and dissatisfied, with some describing the meal as "disgusting" and the event as a letdown. 00:06:35:20 - 00:09:44:04Trump Meme Coin Value Crash Post-TariffsTrump's meme coin value plummeted to $9 per token (from $15) after his tariff announcements, contributing to a broader economic impact. The coin's volatility and negative sentiment (77% negative in a CoinGecko poll) highlight buyer remorse and criticism of Trump's business acumen. 00:40:12:15 - 00:47:33:26Germany Lifts Range Limits on Ukrainian WeaponsGerman Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced the removal of range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, allowing strikes deep into Russia. This escalation, including potential Taurus missile deliveries, raises concerns about direct conflict with Russia and NATO's involvement. 01:05:48:02 - 01:12:22:02Tesla's Self-Driving FailuresTesla's head of autopilot, Ellie Swamy, admitted the company lags behind competitors like Waymo by years in achieving full self-driving (Level 5 autonomy). Despite Elon Musk's decade-long promises, Tesla remains at Level 2, with autopilot-related deaths highlighting the system's flaws and overestimations by users. 01:13:11:25 - 01:16:48:15BYD's Price Cuts and EV Market StrugglesChina's BYD slashed prices on 22 electric and hybrid models by up to 34% to revive demand amid a global EV market downturn. Tesla faces similar challenges, with high inventory and low trade-in values, signaling a cooling EV craze. 01:16:48:17 - 01:27:30:22Catherine Austin Fitts on Land Grabs and CBDCsInvestment banker Catherine Austin Fitts warns of land centralization and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as tools for control. She advocates for investing in local agriculture to secure food supply and resist tyranny, emphasizing CBDCs' potential to restrict spending and enforce compliance. 01:57:37:09 - 01:59:07:22Elon Musk's X Money Beta TestingElon Musk confirmed X Money, a payment and banking app, is in beta testing for a 2025 launch. With 41 money transmitter licenses secured, concerns arise about security due to alleged code leaks and Musk's ties to Trump potentially easing regulatory hurdles 02:05:34:13 - 02:20:45:07Epstein Files and Trump Administration PromisesBilly Ray Valentine discusses Trump's unfulfilled promise to release Jeffrey Epstein files. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino backtrack, claiming Epstein committed suicide, contradicting earlier murder theories. Suspicions arise about cover-ups, possibly for Trump or deeper state actors, with ties to Mossad and CIA suggested. 02:26:27:21 - 02:36:07:06Trump's Police Immunity and Immigration PoliciesTrump's bill proposes nationwide police immunity, unlimited legal funding for cops sued for civil rights violations, and prioritizes immigration over civil rights reviews. Mass deportations target non-criminal immigrants, risking habeas corpus suspension, setting a dangerous precedent for all Americans. 02:54:54:26 - 02:56:22:13Technocratic Agenda and Centralized ControlDiscussion of a technocratic takeover, with figures like Peter Thiel aiming to install a dictator (Trump) via the RAGE doctrine (retire all government employees).

Chris Urmson has spent the last 20 years pushing the limits of autonomous driving—first at Carnegie Mellon's DARPA Grand Challenge team, then as co-founder of Google's self-driving car project, now Waymo.On this week's episode, the Aurora CEO retraces that journey—from building robot cars in the desert to leading a public company pioneering driverless trucking.He shares why autonomy was always a matter of when, not if, how he handled a high-profile departure from Waymo, and what it takes to build at the intersection of deep tech, safety, and infrastructure.Now eight years into Aurora, Urmson says the future he's been chasing is finally within reach.Guest: Chris Urmson, Co-Founder & CEO of AuroraChapters: 00:00 Trailer00:43 Introduction01:59 FSD: are we there? 14:31 The competition, a million dollar check from LA to LV22:50 Dream like an amateur, execute like a pro32:30 Operate with integrity42:49 The future is here, unevenly distributed49:36 Underestimated decisions, minimizing regrets1:03:55 Retaining value1:16:45 Integrating self-driving1:28:20 Lifer1:29:25 Who Aurora is hiring1:29:53 What “grit” means to Chris1:30:15 OutroMentioned in this episode: Waymo, Google, Rivian, Dmitri Dolgov, Uber, Tesla, The DARPA Grand Challenge, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, United States Department of Defense, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, FedEx, Werner Enterprises, Hirschbach, Schneider Electric, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Sebastian Thrun, Batman, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Anthony Levandowski, Donald Trump, Apple iPhone, Airbnb, Blackmore, Stripe, Titan, Ford, Volkswagen, RJ Scaringe, Peterbilt Motors Company, The Volvo Group, Continental AG, Dara KhosrowshahiLinks:Connect with Chris UrmsonXLinkedInConnect with JoubinXLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner Perkins

Razib Khan's Unsupervised Learning

  Today Razib talks to Tim Lee, a previous guest on Unsupervised Learning. Lee hosts Understanding AI. Lee covered tech more generally for a decade for Washington Post, Ars Technica, and Vox.com. He has a master's degree in computer science from Princeton. Lee writes extensively about general AI issues, from Deep Research's capabilities to the state of large language models. But one of the major areas he has focused on is self-driving cars. With expansion of Waymo to Austin, and this June's debut of Tesla's robotaxis, Razib wanted to talk to Lee about the state of the industry. They discuss the controversies relating to safety and self-driving cars. Is it true, as some research suggests, that Waymo and self-driving cars are safer than human-driven cars? What about the accidents Waymos have been implicated in? Is it true that they were actually due to human error and recklessness, rather than the self-driving cars themselves? Lee also contrasts the different companies' strategies in the sector, from Waymo to Zoox to Tesla. Razib also asks him about the fact that self-driving cars' imminent arrival seems to have been overhyped five years ago, with Andrew Yang predicting trucker mass unemployment, to the reality that Waymo has now surpassed Lyft in ride volume in San Francisco. They also discuss the limitations of self-driving cars in terms of their ability to navigate cities and regions where snow might be a major impediment, and why there has been a delay in their expansion to freeway routes.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1049: Today we're diving into Toyota's bold software move with the redesigned RAV4 Hybrid, watching Tesla and Waymo duel for robotaxi dominance, and seeing how Home Depot is holding the line on prices as tariffs rattle retailShow Notes with links:Toyota's sixth-gen RAV4 Hybrid isn't just sleeker—it's smarter. As the first model to feature the all-new Arene operating system, the global bestseller is now a testbed for Toyota's software-first future.Arene is built by Woven by Toyota, the automaker's in-house software arm and made up of three core components: Arene SDK (to build apps and features), Arene Tools (to virtually test them), and Arene Data (to collect and use real-world driver feedback).In practice, that means Toyota can push OTA updates that improve safety systems like Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 based on global user data, often updating every few weeks or months, mirroring how smartphone OS updates roll out.The SDK powers the new voice agent and center display; the data system creates a feedback loop that improves regional performance by learning from users in 180 countries.“Software can be an added layer where we can evolve the car over time,” said Woven CTO John Absmeier. “We help your Toyota grow old with you.”Tesla and Waymo are tackling robotaxis from different angles—Tesla with bold camera-only tech, and Waymo with sensor-packed precision. But a real-world test in San Francisco handed one of them a clear win.Waymo's service, active since 2024, uses 29 cameras, 5 lidars, and 6 radars in Jaguar I-PACEs.Tesla's FSD Supervised software, tested in a Model 3, relies solely on eight external cameras—with its FSD Unsupervised version launching in Austin next month.On winding SF roads from Twin Peaks to Chase Center, both systems performed well—until Tesla's FSD ran a red light at a busy intersection.The Waymo delivered a confident, human-like ride, including a lane change that “seemed like it was just tired of waiting.”“It's got New York cab driver energy,” said tester Alistair Barr of Waymo's proactive driving style.As tariffs squeeze the retail sector, Home Depot is leaning into its U.S.-based supply chain and scale advantage to keep prices steady—even as competitors like Walmart warn of price hikes.Over half of Home Depot's inventory is sourced domestically, with imports on the decline.CFO Richard McPhail says no single foreign country will represent more than 10% of purchases within 12 months.Q1 2025 revenue rose 9.4% to $39.9B, with average transaction values ticking up slightly to $90.71.The company saw 394.8 million transactions, a 2.1% increase year-over-year.“We saw continued customer engagement across smaller projects,” said CEO Ted Decker.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's recall, Tesla's most recent NHTSA letter and Sterling Anderson's surprise move to join GM as EVP & Chief Product Officer.For the first time ever, Waymo had a fleet-wide recall after a series of minor collisions involving stationary objects, a recall that was fixed with a simple over-the-air update. As Waymo updated their vehicles, Tesla was once again under regulatory scrutiny, this time about their upcoming FSD Unsupervised launch in Austin.Could NHTSA's request for more information, give Elon Musk and Tesla an off-ramp as they work to further develop FSD prior to deploying fully autonomous robotaxis. In an unexpected twist, former Aurora co-founder Sterling Anderson joined GM as EVP & Chief Product Officer. His move to GM signals a potential major strategic shift for GM, especially in the wake of its decision to shutdown Cruise.With Mr. Anderson's background in autonomy, software-defined vehicles, and hardware integration from his time at Tesla and Aurora, the hire suggests GM may be quietly rebuilding its autonomy strategy. Whether this positions him as a future CEO candidate or simply as the architect of GM's next-generation vehicle roadmap, it's a development that we will be following on Autonomy Markets.Episode Chapters0:00 Sterling Anderson Joins GM3:34 The Impact of Sterling's Departure on Aurora5:53 Uber's Autonomy Investments7:16 Aurora, a Company in Crisis13:04 Kodiak15:30 Bot Auto17:45 Wayve / Uber Partnership21:58 WeRide's Hong Kong IPO22:46 Waymo's Lingering Zeekr Problem25:27 Waymo's NHTSA Recall27:18 Waymo Road Trips28:47 Is Waymo Expanding Too Quickly?30:10 Could NHTSA Delay Tesla's June Robotaxi Launch?33:38 Market Perception of Tesla FSD36:29 Unforced Error of The Week38:40 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, May 15, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Vitaliy Katsenelson back to the show. Vitaliy is the CEO and chief investment officer of Investment Management Associates. He's also an author, award-winning writer, and founder of "The Intellectual Investor" newsletter and podcast.  Vitaliy kicks off the show by discussing the difficulty in writing books and how he has evolved as an investor over the years. He explains that through continuous trial and error, he has learned not to dumpster-dive for bad stocks just because they're cheap. He emphasizes the value of good management, knowing your own strengths, and allowing yourself to say no to investments that aren't in your circle of competence. Vitaliy also gives his thoughts on Warren Buffett's retirement and Berkshire Hathaway's stock today. (1:40) Next, Vitaliy shares his experience running portfolios and how his strategy differs from Buffett's. This leads to a conversation about what could happen to Berkshire after Buffett passes and what made Vitaliy decide "I don't want to be like Buffett." He gives his nuanced take on learning from legendary businessmen and other historical figures without agreeing with them on everything. Similarly, the U.S. trading with countries it disagrees with (like Russia) is important. Vitaliy discusses his own experience growing up in the Soviet Union and being "brainwashed" to hate Americans. And he talks more about finding a good work-life balance, no matter your career. (21:19) Then, Vitaliy dives into the psychology behind decision-making and willpower. He quotes one of his favorite sayings as a reminder to investors: "Knowing and not doing is not knowing." After that, Vitaliy shares why he believes Uber Technologies still has a lot of upside today. He notes that the stock isn't cheap, but it is undervalued. And he breaks down his reasoning for wanting to hold the stock long term, including its potential to incorporate Waymo or other self-driving cars on its app. (39:26)
