Random thoughts on electric (and other) cars.

Autonomous cars, electric cars, and Apple (not necessarily in any logical order)

Mankind, have started dreaming of self-driving cars, maybe even before the invention of the car itself, maybe because back then, people who could afford a private vehicle (where you have horses at the front, driver in the middle, and the VIP cabin in the back); they never thought of driving as an aristocratic activity.

The early ideas were something very technologically-advanced back then (very primitive now), like implementing some sort of metal conductors that will follow signals from wires along the road, so the car will drive in that lane like a robot (see General Motors concept car here).

Market incentives

That's was how I answered a question about "the effects of market incentives", it was a course about social and ethical responsibilities in my MBA program.

I do completely agree with the statement: “profit is the reason for businesses to exist” and the only way to explain why is with examples.

The most powerful stakeholders who influence the business decision making are those who finance it; shareholders, and their ultimate goal from investing money in business is to generate return on their investment, if there’s no satisfactory return, the decision makers in the company will face the possible threat of shareholders withdrawing their investments.
