Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for February 22, 2018

All we need are some self-driving comments to match.

“And that’s first place for Google, with Elon Musk in for a close second…”

The fun is in watching people risking their lives.

Self driving bobsled…interesting idea. It would be an interesting test of decisions, reaction times and mechanics for the controlling system, i.e. hardware and software. On the other hand, all the crashes would quickly destroy the test vehicle and the bobsled run.

I’d rather see an Uber bobsled…. you figure it out

It’s a shame we never learned the inventor’s last name.

This is one of those Olympic events I dislike. A smooth rock could win a medal in some of them. Curling is more fun to watch, actually. Doing geometry in their heads and avoiding touching stray stones as they skim along, rapidly thrusting their brooms…almost as much fun as an 80 yard touchdown pass. Also I didn’t realize I was watching women’s hockey until the announcer called one of them “she”. They are fast and brutal. Also kinda cute. And the Americans won!!!

How did the sled push itself at the starting line?

Next up, self-driving cars take over NASCAR.

Made in Jamaica.
