What can we learn from a new documentary on Elon Musk?
You could be forgiven for believing that we've already achieved the era of autonomous vehicles. Tesla, the electric car manufacturer run by Elon Musk, refers to a version of its Autopilot software as "Full Self Driving". The company released a (misleadingly edited) video of an autonomous vehicle navigating city streets, its drivers' hands on their lap โ a style replicated by enthusiasts. Musk has repeatedly assured in speeches and interviews that autonomous vehicles were one to two years away โ or, as he put it in 2015, a "solved problem" because "we know what to do and we'll be there in a few years." But the existing Autopilot technology has not yet realized those promises and, as a new New York Times documentary illustrates, the gap in expectation and reality has led to several deadly crashes.

Is Artificial Intelligence Controlling What You Stream on Netflix, Hulu?
Jesus Diaz wrote the following for Fast Company: "I don't care how efficient the company says the algorithm is -- from my personal experience, it doesn't work. A machine can never fully replace personal taste and exploration based on human interaction." He continued in the op-ed: "We're sick of algorithms telling us where to go, who to listen to, and what to watch. Your machine predicts a 98% chance that I would like to watch Frozen. In fact, I have yet to find an instance of any algorithm surprising me with a smart suggestion."
