    Fire your gov? thats how you get tech back. its economics. it doesnt make sense to build and do business in California. No politics here. just reality of capitalism. Your state is no longer a good business decision.

    2 weeks ago, my wife and me learned that Wallgreens on Market Street closed its doors because of shop lifters while the working calls usually pays for the items they buy.
    So we went to Post Street next to the Union Square and lined up to pay our chosen stuff. Ahead of us was a shop lifter and the security guard only mentioned that he “don’t want to stop the shop lifter because he could be contagious”. We asked the Wallgreens cashier “What is your security guard paid for?”- No response.
    If the city doesn’t punish shop lifters and if they don’t stop drug traffic, there’s no chance for ordinary people to feel safe in downtown anymore. Fentanyl is used everywhere along Market Street and more and more also at Union Square….

The autonomous vehicle space is starting to feel like a repeat of the 2016 hype cycle. Travis Kalanick is back building a robotics company, and the talent wars and capital are heating up the same way they did the first time around. The money’s flowing back, and it’s the people who lived through that first wave who are building the next one. 

Humble Robotics founder and CEO Eyal Cohen is one of them. Cohen was at Otto when Uber came calling, later followed Anthony Levandowski to Pronto, and after two decades bouncing between deep tech bets in the Bay Area, his new company came out of stealth in April with $24 million to build a fully autonomous, cabless electric hauler for freight. 

Cohen joins Kirsten Korosec on this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast to talk about AV déjà vu and what he’s learned from 15 years of building startups across electrification, solar, and robotics.
