In this post, Meta's Yann LeCun sets out how Europe can attract the world's best and brightest scientists. I think this is right and echos something I advocated for in my Memorandum on COP: www.britainsworld.org.uk/p/the-memora...

As a research in science and tech policy, I thought it was important to try Waymo when I was in Scottsdale last week. A v smooth journey and never felt worried. These have already been operating on the road for years in Phoenix... we may see the first self-driving cars in the UK from 2026
