A Nerd’s Review of the Tesla Model S – David Smith:
“As with everything Tesla does, autopilot seems to be getting better each and every software update (which as a side note is amazing…my car is better now than when I bought it, which is quite a thing).”
*Over-the-air software updates make new things possible. Your car can get smarter and better over time. Amazing.
There’s a reason big companies don’t create new stuff, they are subject to rules that individual creators aren’t. They aren’t free to try new ideas out.
*Innovation is on the side of startups. 1,000 startups can try multiple ideas and iterations to find product market fit. The incumbent firms have no idea on how to effectively find what is next.
This app looks interesting.
How will you know?
Organize people, get them to commit to a date, time and place. Use software to get their commitment one way or another. If people change their mind or something comes up, they can cancel and people attending will know not to expect them.

Notes: There was a #Breakfastup tweetup (meeting of Twitter users) planned for this morning, Friday March 18, 2011 for 9 AM, and there were a bunch of cancelations and no shows. There was no way to know who would show up. Actually, it would have been good to see who still planned on going, it would have enabled the event to be rescheduled. In the end, only three people attended including me. We did have a good conversation.
