The goal of building autonomous systems is to make them 10 times safer than people by focusing on things that machines are good at such as attention to details. Scrutinizing accidents and setting the bar of safety above human performance is the right philosophy to have in building autonomous systems.

Computer hardware
Summary

Despite the intricacy of computer technology, the reduction to practice is relatively simple; transistors, wires, adders, multipliers and memories all contribute to the structure of a computer. In contrast to popular belief, factory work can also be enjoyable, and the satisfaction of creating something tangible can be fulfilling.
