May Likes TorontoThis is what tech is supposed to be. Innovation based on today's human knowledge to improve lives and prevent deaths. Not whatever this bullshit is that we're dealing with every day.
I don't love the idea of private vehicles, or vertically integrated companies like this. This article is definitely marketing, but if you spent 8 years investing in research to make lithium ion batteries safe, I think you deserve the marketing.
Charles A-M@mayintoronto yeah, the sentiment of the opening anecdote gives hope, but he's also a CEO of a giant corp which usually means skeletons in the closet.
I'm not inclined to dig further, but if I were, I'd start at "he was his destitute family's only hope" being closely followed by "he borrowed startup capital from his cousin."
@Centretowner I noticed that one too. "A small loan of $10M" energy.
