Three Questions, February 13, 2025

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

I was posting pictures from my most recent trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and several of the pictures were really amazing.

What did I learn today?

Today I learned how far away we still are from having fully autonomous driving cars. I was driving through a big rainstorm and I have a fairly new car so it has all of the new fancy safety features including collision warning and automatic breaking. At one point when the rain was dumping the car beeped, it beeps way to much, and the dash said, “no eyesight, cameras non-fucntional,” and the light for no collision control came on. Soooo, until we can actually build a car with cameras good enough to see as well as the human an eye in the rain, we’re not there.

What made me happy today?

What made me happy today was the sun breaking through the clouds as I arrived at my hotel. Would have been a whole lot happier had it done that on the drive instead of dumping rain for three hours.
