Weekly output: Uber and Lucid’s robotaxi, Craig Newmark on dodging scams, Jensen Huang on engineering, Better Offline podcast
I got back from CES Friday morning, which means I’ve now more or less caught up with my sleep deficit from those frenetic five days in Las Vegas but still have a lot of writing to do.
1/5/2026: This Is the Robotaxi That Lucid and Nuro Are Building for Uber, PCMag
I wrote the first version of this off an embargoed copy of Uber’s announcement, then did an in-person inspection of Uber’s forthcoming self-driving version of the Lucid Gravity electric vehicle and updated the story two days later.
1/7/2026: Craiglist’s founder has some simple rules for not losing your mind—or money—on the internet, Fast Company
My video interview with Craig Newmark happened back in December–without any PR minder on the call–but online scams are an unfortunately evergreen topic.
1/7/2026: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: This Is Why I’m Lucky to Be an Engineer, PCMag
It was a treat to see Huang accept the engineering group IEEE’s annual medal of honor at a private event and gush a little about his chosen profession–the same one that my dad picked in college.
1/8/2026: CES 2026: Part Seven (Thursday), Better Offline
As I did last year, I wrapped up CES by joining tech gadfly Ed Zitron’s Better Offline podcast at the hotel suite he booked in Vegas for a lengthy conversation about what we saw at the show and what that says about the state of technology. My fellow guests in this Thursday night recording session: standup comedian Chloe Radlciffe and fellow writers Garrison Davis, Robert Evans, Westin Lee, and Ed Ongweso. After some post-recording banter, I went from there to the airport and fell asleep within maybe 10 minutes of takeoff.

After passing on a 2nd hand Acura ZDX EV at the weekend, I stopped by our local #lucid_motors showroom to test drive the new #LucidGravity.
What a difference! The ride is"definitely not an SUV" and it's hard to overstate how much nicer of a vehicle Lucid have made compared with the re-badged GM offering from Acura. New sticker price of the Gravity is about 33% more than the ZDX when new, but you get very much more than a 33% better vehicle with roughly double the maximum cargo volume!
(To actually sell the ZDX, Acura had to offer steep discounts, typically around $20k).
Not sure I'm in the market for a ~$100k new EV, but definitely intersted in a 2nd hand one in a couple of years.

Lucid Motors revs up its EV factory in Saudi Arabia, and now Tesla suddenly wants to sell cars there, too. What could possibly go wrong?
