The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Taggart Matheson no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Yeah. Or watching a movie. Okay. So one of the things that's interesting is you have these original equipment manufacturers who just hand off like this chassis and people can design the hardware and they can customize, but the software customization happens at a different level. How do you think about when you have this world of transportation as a service and you're literally handing off what?

A The problem space is massive, right? Like That car needs to work in a sandstorm in Egypt and has to work in a snowstorm in Juneau, Alaska. It's massive problem space. And the challenge of an autonomous vehicle being able to navigate all of those potential areas is very, very difficult. I think the interesting aspect here is when you combine autonomous with transportation as a service, what we can do is we can slowly roll that out. We know where the start and the end of the ride is before it happens. And so what that allows us to do is really constrain that problem space. And so if it is a ride or a request in an area that we're comfortable in terms of safety, in terms of validation with the autonomous vehicle, then we'll go ahead and dispatch that vehicle. But if it's raining or a certain time of day or something else that puts the probability at some lower level that we're not comfortable with, then we just dispatch, you know, a typical traditional driver.

Q Mm-hmm. I can accept that millennials have given up their desire to, like, tie their identity to their cars, but given that it's so ingrained in our culture, how do we now think about designing for a culture where that car is no longer that container of identity?

A I would almost argue that we can keep that identity. So, yes, I mean, when I was 16, I had a, or 18, a 1970 suburban. My identity was this massive thing, and it was awesome, and when I parked it at high school, everyone looked around like, wow, that thing is a beast. I think you can do the same thing where when I get in that car, I can still have my identity. And that's where I think the personalization of understanding who that passenger is and what you're trying to get out of that ride. It could be that a couple of friends of mine were going to a party and it's going to be in Taggart mode. And Taggart mode is a certain set of songs, or maybe it's lighting. How do you keep that passenger connected? How do you keep providing a personalized experience?
