Jack and Rick Take on the Tagged Waymo Car, Anti-Tech Sentiment and Whether Tech Kills Jobs
About this episode
Jack Kelly and Rick Chen react to the viral social media video of a Waymo driverless car getting stopped and tagged with graffiti in the streets of San Francisco. We look into how it happened, including how driverless cars work and their safety record, and whether the incident might be part of an anti-tech movement and sentiment.
Jack and Rick then talk about how fast they adopted new technology and compare and contrast today's startups and the startups and businesses from the not-so-distant past. We then debate whether tech like driverless cars and the gig economy might cause more layoffs or job losses or if they are a net positive for the world like Silicon Valley suggests they are.
