I’m not a big fan of self-driving cars where there’s no steering wheel or brake pedal. Knowing what I know about computer vision and AI, I’d be pretty uncomfortable with that. But I am a fan of a combined system – one that can brake for you if you fall asleep at the wheel, for example.

Beyond self-driving cars, I think all airplanes should go pilotless. Get the pilots out of there. Even better, have no cockpit at all, and turn it into a nice lounge with a bar. Why give people the illusion of control with a steering wheel?
Scientists, especially physicists, we’re presumptuous and think we can do everything better than everybody else. And one thing that I realized early is, I had some talent managing and organizing things – you know, some people are better organizers than others – but why should I reinvent the wheel?
The future of my government is not in the hands of the opposition. The steering wheel is in my hands.

My accident was the result of incredible fate, with me spinning in a place I shouldn’t have, with a car coming at a speed it shouldn’t have, and hitting me with the sharpest and strongest thing that it has, which is the nose, in the most vulnerable part of the car, which is between the side part and the front wheel.
