  • Fasten your seat belt as software engineer Alex Koster takes us on a journey in what he calls the "software dream car" of the future. He breaks down how massive technological shifts are transforming the automotive industry and paints a vivid picture of where cars are headed -- from AI drivers to interiors and exteriors shaped by augmented and virtual reality.

    I’m surprised that the problem he outlines initially is the fundamental of having a heavy thing move a few people, and his solution isn’t addressing weight or scale of vehicle at all, but is leaning into computational power to make us comfortable while we sit in traffic.
    The solution seems apparent to me, we have to explore a different scale of machine, and build machines that do more with less. For the last 10 years I’ve used an e-bike as my primary mode of transit. Using a motor that is about the same size as my blender has made me question how much power we actually need in our vehicles. There’s a number of benefits to scaling down vehicles: it requires less power to move them, so we don’t need nearly as much battery. A modern electric vehicle uses anywhere from 60-100KwH battery to move at most 6 people, whereas an e-bike battery is typically .5-1kWH. That’s easily a design 10x more efficient in its use of power.
    The biggest value to scaling down: it’s more nimble, and therefore quicker. E-bikes don’t reach the top speed that cars, but they can be deceptively much quicker navigating dense cities and suburbs.
    We don’t need our cars to be catering to our every need, we need to rethink our power to weigh ratio and build less heavyweights and more featherweights.

      @@KaushalMalkan I agree that there’s a bit of a gap in the vehicles available, but it doesn’t seem logical that because you’re traveling in a group you now use a vehicle that is 80-100x heavier. When we use a car, more than 90% of the fuel used is just to move the car, not the passengers or cargo. We may have normalized that, but it’s truly unsustainable.

      @@KaushalMalkan Then you rent a car for that specific occasion, and for the 99% of the time you just drive by yourself you take your bike/train.
      Most people never drive with others. that's a fact. it's stupid to design a system that caters to the 1% case when you can design it for the 99% case. It's a mind boggling waste of resources that could be invested somewhere else.

    Interesting talk, but a lot of this sounds not that great to me. For one thing Blade Runner is set in a dystopia; the original is one of my favourite films, but I don't *want* the future to look like that! Also why would I want to have virtual reality inside my car? I want to see where I'm going and experience the journey.

    Your habits demonstrate self-respect in the same way. Your inner regard is made manifest through your actions.
    The next time you sense a breeze upon your face, let it remind you of the power within. Remember each time you follow through on a habit, you’ve just given form to the current of self-respect that stirs inside.
